“How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!

And the children of men take refuge

in the shadow of Your wings.”

~Psalm 36:7 NASB~

 

Betty Taylor asks that you pray for her as her new eye specialist begins a new drug in the injections she gets.  The injection she was receiving had to be repeated about every five weeks.  Thanks!

Susan Rimes is having problems with another kidney stone.  Pray for her again.

Martha Pevey Drago and Macy Gueldner

From Martha:

Prayers Needed!!!

I have a spot on one of my incisions that has not completely healed I have an appointment Friday with the radiation oncologist to decide when I start radiation and for my mapping. Please pray that this spot heals so I can begin my radiation timely! On another note, Jeremy sadly had to shave Macy’s head today. Her hair was falling out again and was causing her much pain. For those of you who do not know, when your hair starts to fall out when you are on chemo, it can be quite painful. As soon as it was shaved, you could see a change and her pain subsided. I too had this problem so I was able to relate this for Macy. As I have said before, this is not a journey that I would have chosen for Macy and me to walk,and if I could take all her pain and suffering I would gladly do so….but none the less, this is our path for now, but not forever. I humbly thank you again for all of your prayers for Macy and me!

From Macy’s Mother

I didn’t realize how physically painful it can be to experience chemo hair loss. Apparently the hair follicles become inflamed, and Macy was crying in pain all morning because of it. This didn’t happen the first time she lost her hair, but it sure was happening this time. Once shaven, it feels better. So because of the pain, the “male patterned baldness” receding hairline, the picking up of the lost hair from pillows and car seats, and the circle of broken hair in the back, we relieved Macy by getting rid of what was left. Here’s my pretty girl, and her fresh summer “trim.”
Oh, and I have to say that all pain went away with the hair. She was as happy and pain free as can be once it was done. My mother in law unfortunately experienced the same thing when losing her hair. Is it common, or one of those 1% chances that we’re always so lucky to get?

Read the Bible in 2015 –  Exodus 17-20
