Thursday Afternoon

Tim and Frieda Jones

Prayer Request for my husband, Tim Jones: Tim was having chest pain when they started the stress test, blood pressure was low; therefore they would not do the test. They called an ambulance for him. The ambulance would only take him to Hospital in Bogalusa not La. Heart hospital so he refused the ambulance. I am to drive him to La. Heart hospital. Pray for Tim, doctors, nurses, and me. They may have two of us. Lord knew about this before it happened. Trusting Him to get us through. Love you all. God bless.

Sisters from Roseland (Carol B. Sealey & Barbara B. Gaines)

Barbara had lung surgery two weeks ago at Ochner to remove a tumor from her lung. She gets a report on the lympth nodes tomorrow which will let her know if/what kinds of treatment is needed.

Carol has had back problems for years.  Despite procedures and surgeries, her back continues to deteriorate.

Please pray for these two ladies.  I have know them since they were born and their family all my life.

Thursday

“Call to Me, and I will answer you,

and show you great and mighty things,

which you do not know.”

In my last post I forgot to include Mrs. Bessie Hayden.  She was taken by ambulance to Lallie Kemp Hospital because of chest pains.  Let’s pray for her as she undergoes testing there.

Mansell Stinson is looking forward to surgery next week in West Jefferson Hospital  Pray for him as he continues to wait.

I talked with Mr. Bobby Lawson‘s niece.  She said he continues to have ups and downs. Keep him in your prayers,

Pray for sister, Miss Fay Shoemaker and Mrs. Fern Brennan.  Their love and concern for each other has been steady.  Their health is not as good as it was when I first met them, but they doing the best they can.

Pray for Susan Rimes as she sees a doctor again tomorrow.

Thank God for the improvement Martha Griffith has made in two weeks.

I have several updates, I want to share this afternoon.

  • Mrs. Catherine Yarborough is in Kentwood Rehab to regain some strength following pneumonia.  Pray she gets stronger soon, because we all know she wants to go HOME!
  • Mrs. Mildred Birch is doing well, except for some nausea which was expected.  She is in room 2222 when she is not walking up and down the hall.  I know she will be talking about HOME as soon as possible.
  • Mr. Cush Shaw (91) is making a decision about whether or not to do chemo.  He will probably be HOME soon.  Pray for the family as they continue to support him in his decisions.
  • Velta Morris is doing well.  For the first time in three years, she was able to have her port removed.  Keep her and her family in your prayers.  She thanks you for all the prayers for her in recent years.
  • Karen Ard, Alcyon’s sister, is reacting to the pain medication.  Pray they can determine the one that will work for her.  Today, she was in pain and unable to eat or rest.

                Love the Lord your God with all your heart                      and with all your soul and with all your mind                                       and with all your strength.                                                               The second is this:                                                             Love your neighbor as yourself.                             There is no commandment greater than these.”

Pray for Mrs. Mildred Birch as she makes steps today to prepare for tomorrow’s surgery in Baton Rouge.  Your prayers will be appreciated.

If all goes as scheduled today, Karen Baham Ard will have four heart bypasses today.  Keep her and her family in your prayers.  Alcyon and Lloyd Hayden have been “under the weather”.  Pray they are better so Alcyon can be at the hospital with her sister.

Pray for the Shaw family as they meet with the doctor today to learn the options.  Mr. Cush Shaw will make the  decisions determining his treatment.
