Connor Corkern

Aunt Carmen and Uncle Toye (Coye’s twin brother) came to see their Connor man today! He is still very, very asleep. We finished his EEG and are waiting on results from neuro to see what our next step is. Praying for no seizures in his sleep, then we’ll slowly start to wake him. We love you all for your constant prayers!!!

Amen!!!! There was little seizure activity on my EEG!!!!!!! So the new plan is to keep phenobarbital in him for maintenance and Ativan on a lower dose, more spread out. We will let him sleep the rest of the day and then greatly lessen the extra meds tmrw so he will wake up. Then see how he does. We will be in PICU for a good while so they can keep a close eye on him and to stay on top of his seizures. God is good ALL THE TIME!!!! Happy dance going on in PICU rm 8!!!

From my former student, Cindy

My nanny is in a regular room, she is breathing ok with oxygen right now…. She is extremely tired and agitated right now … Lots going on, please keep my mom and her siblings in your prayers too!!!

I just received word that Glen Slaven passed away.  Keep praying for this family.

I have a new friend who doesn’t live around here.  We have a mutual friend who connected us this week.  She is Christine Olson.  Christine wrote this for me to share.

Please (pray) for my ears, sinuses and migraines (problems) be gone forever! And for God to heal my marriage and set my husband free from bondage and for his salvation. Our little family is trying to get ripped apart by Satan. That (salvation for my husband) alone is (/would be) a blessing!!! Thanks for asking! His name is Dan. My little soldiers for Christ are Nathaniel and Jacob.
