Thursday Midafternoon

Dan Turner‘s chest tube is in.  All is well, for now!  Keep praying.

Posted by Sherman Cutrer, Jr.

As most of our friends already know, our daughter Caroline was diagnosed with leukemia back in July of 2011. The meds that she has to take weaken her immune system and she is very susceptible to every little illness that comes along. She came down with Bronchitis over the weekend and has gotten worse throughout this week. She is currently on the way back to the Childrens Cancer Clinic in Jackson, Ms. with a temp of over 103. Please keep her in your prayers. I pray she will at least be at home on Christmas. Thanks and god bless you all.

Pray for  Caroline to get over this set-back.  Pray for the family to get to spend Christmas together.

Thursday

Correction:  The “Walk 27” at Spring Creek is Friday (tomorrow).  I have conflicting messages on the color – red or green & green or white.  I suppose the safe color for the walk at 7:25 in the morning is green.

Charles Houeye is still hospitalized in Baton Rouge.  There has been no explanation of the seizure.  Charles seems about the same as when he was admitted.

Dan Turner collapsed a lung during a coughing spell.  He has been checked out thoroughly.  There is not a blood clot that caused the problem.  He is now getting a chest tube that will drain fluids and allow the lung to re-expand.  Please continue to pray for Dan, his caregivers, his entire family, his coworkers, and friends.

Mike Smith, brother of Frank Smith who formerly lived in Kentwood, had his surgery and is doing well.  Thanks for remembering Mike and his family in your prayers.

Thursday

 “This will be the sign for you:

You will find a baby wrapped snugly in cloth and lying in a feeding trough.”

~Luke 2:12, HCSB~

Sunday, FBC, Kentwood will have a schedule change for this Sunday.  Sunday School will begin at 9:00 and church at 10:00.  The choir will again present their Christmas musical, which was fantastic!  There will be no P.M. services.

 

Walk 27 will happen at Spring Creek school this morning at 8:25.  Dana Hendry asked that I remind you to wear red or green.  Walk 27 is a walk in support of Newtown, CT and an opportunity to pray for something like that not to happen in other elementary schools.

 

Brian Dugas came home from the hospital yesterday.  Thank-you for praying for him.

 

Johnnie Smith is home from the hospital after having a heart procedure.  He’s very weak.  Pray for strengthening and complete recovery.

 

Emma Bankston had a good day yesterday visiting with lots of company.  Pray for continued healing.

 

Robbie Lynn C. Kirby has been running a fever for months.  Doctors have been unable to figure out why this is happening.  Pray for a diagnosis and proper treatment soon.

 

Dan Turner slept most of the day yesterday because of pain medication.  Pray he has a good day today and continues to improve.

 

There was a bad wreck on highway 16 west of Amite.  I will not post the name of the person who lost their life yet, but will post the obituary when it becomes available.

Dan Turner in Jackson, MS

From Diane (Dan’s mom) last night

God is SO good! Roy and I just want to join Ladd in communicating our heartfelt thanks for all your prayers being offered for Dan, our son, who was injured in a motorcycle accident ten days ago. Gosh! Has it been ten days? It seems like one continuous day since then. As Ladd has posted, Dan continues to improve, but still has a long way to go. For anyone who doesn’t know, Ladd posts updates regularly. We covet your prayers, and know without a doubt that you all will pray for Dan, and all of us, his family. We have seen evidence of your prayers and have been given strength by them. Thank all of so much.

Emma Brabham had appointment Monday and Tuesday.  The doctors were impressed with how quickly and well she is healing.  Pray for the healing to continue.  Pray for Emma and her family as they wait for more healing.

 Pray for the family of Austin Elder as they funeral service today in northwester Arkansas will celebrate his life and his hope.

Today, I’m not going to list all the articles at BPNews.net, I’m just going to tell you the site is worth checking out again today.

Please continue to pray for my mom, Beverly dyer. She is still at st. Helena parish hospital. She is getting stronger day by day, but prayer is the only reason she is still here with us.

Shelly called me this morning to tell me that Charles (Houeye, Shelly’s father-in-law) has been taken from the nursing home in Kentwood to OLOL in BR.    He is in ICU and they are not sure what his problem is.   Jeff found him yesterday (when he went to check on him) having what appeared to be a seizure.   The nurses couldn’t find his blood pressure and they sent him to Hoods.  North Oaks was full so they sent him on to OLOL.    Seems to have an infection, a fever and after they gave him seizure meds at Hoods the seizure stopped, so they are not sure what caused it.     According to Shelly Jeff was not home unitl the wee hours of the morning this morning as it takes hours to get all things arranged, even in a crisis.    Shelly and Jeff are in Baton Rouge today.  Please add him to the prayer list.

Fran M. Gay

 

Jane Duncan asked us to add her son-in-law so other can be praying for him.  Please pray for Brian Dugas’ health issues.

 

Dan Turner

Dan Turner is still doing well! He is nodding and shaking his head today when asked questions. Still giving thumbs up and such. He’s breathing on his own again today! Lots of good stuff! Thank you for your prayers and we ask that you all continue to pray for Dan’s healing. Dan is getting and has received the greatest care from UMMC and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts for caring for Dan in the manner that they have. Even with the top quality care, there is only so much modern medicine can do. We praise God for tending to all of Dan’s needs, but especially those that just can’t be explained but for the healing hand of God! Thank you, Lord!!

Tuesday

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son,

so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”

Monday Evening

UPDATE: Dan opened his eyes this evening!!! PRAISE GOD!!! He’s high fiving people (the best he can in his condition), nodding his head and making facial expressions!! THANK YOU LORD!!!

Father God, we praise you! Thank you for hearing our cries and doing a mighty work in Dan Turner! Father, we ask that you continue to heal Dan. We praise you, Father!! It’s in Jesus’ precious name that we pray, AMEN!!!!!

This isn’t over folks! Good things happening this evening, but Dan the Man still has a long way to go! Please do not become complacent and (not) continue to pray for him!!!

Update on Dan

From Ladd

Dan Turner is responding very well this morning. They may take out the central line if they can get IV’s in his arm. He may get an MRI of his head and neck later today and they may put in another IVC filter (for the blood clots) just as a precaution. Unlike us, God never sleeps and He is always good!!

Father God, we bow before your majesty. We exalt your holy name! Father, thank you so much for tending to our brother even as we sleep. You are most worthy to be praised! Thank you for carrying me! Please continue to lay your healing hand upon Dan and restore his health. We love you, Lord! It’s in the precious name of Jesus that we pray, Amen!!
