Blessed are his children after he is gone.”

I think I will post a few requests, updates while there is a clearing of the weather.  I know there is more bad weather headed our way.

they comfort me.

On this day, Oct. 31, four years ago today, I had gamma knife brain surgery.    I am happy to report my tumor continues to shrink!  I was able to enjoy Fall Fest Activities at NOBTS that very night with my daughter’s family.

  • Mr. James Miller fell and is hospitalized again.  This time he is in Covington.

David Wickham (From Cissy, his wife)

Update on David
Day 18 in ICU: they removed the bladder catheter, stomach catheter and staples yesterday.  He sat up in the chair a total of 12 hours.  He sat 8 hours, then took a break and then sat up again for four hours.  He does have increased pain from some sutures that became infected.  They will be using the wound vac today. He is still retaining a lot of fluid which prevents him from bring weaned from the oxygen to a level that will allow him to
Leave ICU.  He is at the point where he needs to push himself to be more mobile and do the exercises past his comfort level.  He had his 1st meal  today- vegetable broth, Apple juice and orange jello.  All of his favorites 😊. I was proud of him – he managed to force it down.  Thank you for your continued support to us. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Mrs. Anne Hurst is in room 10 at the St. Helena Hospital.  I know she would love to hear from/see you.  Keep her in your prayers.

Mansell Stinson went back for a check-up yesterday.  James Rimes, who took him, said that for the first time, Mansell seems to be “pain-free”!  Let’s pray he can stay that way.

Kenny Ray Gill went in for double knee replacement, but did not have surgery because he had some sort of an insect bite.  So, surgery will be rescheduled for a later time.

Lisa Pitri received a wonderful report and will not need additional treatments, only periodic check-ups for now.

Bob Brooks who was hospitalized briefly is now home.  Please keep him in your prayers.

Connor Corkern is still at Children’s Hospital in New Orleans, but is improving.  If he continues to do well, he will be coming back to Kentwood soon.

Lisa W. Carruth is in Baton Rouge for a procedure today.  Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Continue to pray for Mrs. Hazel Smith.  She is at home.

Continue to pray for Barbara Hurchinson.  She has a few more days of rehab/physical therapy in Hammond before coming back to Kentwood.

“God has listened;

He has paid attention to the sound of my prayer.

~Psalm 66:19, HCSB~

(Has anyone prayed for rain?  He surely paid attention!)

Be careful on the roads.  Look for rain water accumulation and flowing water as well as downed trees.

We have power, but apparently some do not.  It was good to see four or five Demco trucks go by about 3:30 and again about ten minutes later.  I hope most of you will awaken to power in a few hours.
