We received a call today from the hematologist. The lab work for Boyd showed no evidence of a blood clotting disease – either hereditary or acquired. He will stay on the blood thinner medication for an additional six weeks. We are anticipating a return to Europe in early May. Thank you for your prayers.
Marsha (Mrs. Larry) Bankston of Arcola has been sick for a few days. She was taken from the doctor’s office to the hospital via ambulance. She has internal bleeding. Please keep her in your prayers. Pray they can locate and solve the problem quickly.
The BCM lunch at SLU was great today! They had a lot more students than last year. The jambalaya was delicious. Thanks to Marty and Gretchen Simpson, James Rimes, David and Anna Lee Alford, Bro. Joey Miller (speaker), Eleanor Morris, Judy Fowler, Fay Shoemaker, Ora Lee Wilson, and all those who contributed salad, beans, dessert, tea, or rolls. Five of us chopped food for more than two hours last night to have everything ready to this morning. The Simpson home STRONGLY smelled of onions. We all had tears in our eyes and smiles on our faces. Today, one BSU student asked how often our church prepares the meal. I told him we do it every year. He sadly said, “Only once?”.
The last word I received about Cliff Titus was that he was “about the same”. Keep praying for the family.
