Tuesday Afternoon

Mr. Philip Harrell’s 92nd birthday is today.  David and I were blessed to visit with him and Mrs. Annie Bell for a few minutes this morning.  He told of the birth of his second great, great grandchild.  Wow!
Mrs. Anne Hurst is looking good and will be released Sunday.  Please keep her in your prayers.  She said the unborn twins are doing well according to their mother Marie and grandmother Nedra.
Mrs. Barbara Hutchinson is doing well.  She is able to walk around a good bit.  Pray for her continued improvement.
Some former residents of Roseland, Steve and Vicky Cunningham Gully, shared the news of the death of a daughter-in-law, Donna Gully, last night.  She has been ill so her death was not a surprise.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,

you were called to peace.

And be thankful.

Update on Connor Corkern

My dear friends, if everything goes smoothly with Connor tonight (which we expect it will) he will have his ventilator extubated in the morning.

We need your prayers…
•Please pray with Coye and I that this time around Connor’s lungs will be ready and strong.
•Please pray that his secretions will be thin enough for him to cough up.
•Please pray that his body can maintain the energy it requires to breathe easily when awake and sleeping.
•Please pray that God’s grace surrounds us as we watch and wait to see if Connor’s extubation will be successful.
•Please pray that if Connor’s extubation fails that we will be guided in the direction that God leads us to and have peace with whatever may come in order for Connor to breathe easier.
•Please pray for his doctors, nurses, and therapists that have taken exceptional care of him, and will continue to do so.

We know our Heavenly Father hears our prayers as he has shown us His mercy for the past 3 weeks over and over again.

 

Mrs. Flo Hatcher‘s new medication for nausea has worked for five days!  That has made a big difference for her, the family, and caregivers.

 

Please continue to pray for Mr. James Miller as he undergoes testing at a Covington hospital.

 

Mrs. Gloria Boone and her family wish for our continued prayers.

 

David Wickham – David’s obituary will be posted when it is available.  In the meantime, pray for the family.

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.

Dennis Price is at Cypress Point dealing with issues related to diabetes.  Pray for him and those caring for him.  I’m sorry I forgot to mention him earlier.

Mr. James Miller is hospitalized in Covington.  Pray for him, the medical staff, and his family and friends.

Mrs. Annie Belle Harrell recently told me she was retaining fluid again.  She was hospitalized overnight the week to remove the fluid.  Mr. Phillip will be 92 Tuesday.  You still have time to put a card in the mail or to make a phone call.

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.

Today, I have a long list of people who need our prayers.

  • Eleanor Morris has joined the list of those who have taken a fall.  It always takes longer to recover than to fall and get hurt.  Add her to your prayer list.
  • Mrs. Velma Anthony is finally doing better after her fall.  Thank God for her improvement.
  • Betty Simpson is having back issues.  Add her to your prayer list.
  • Ora Lee Wilson’s sister, Juanita Booty, can’t seem to get well.  Now, she has pneumonia.  Keep her on your prayer list.
  • Mrs. Gloria Boone also needs to be on your prayer lists.  As you pray for her, please pray for her family.
  • Mr. James Miller fell and is hospitalized again.  This time he is in Covington.
  • Mrs. Glenda McKean is slowly improving after breaks in both ankles.  She may be able to leave Hood Memorial the first of next week.  Pray for her as she begins walking again.
  • Mrs. Anne Hurst is still hospitalized in Greensburg.  She enjoys company.
  • Rufus Williams continues to do well following his recent gall bladder surgery.  Keep him on your prayer list for a while.  Pray for Margie too!
