Hannah Shockley Wilkinson got out of surgery about eight last night.  If all goes well, she should be able to go home today.  Keep her in your prayers as she adjusts to daily living with her repaired arm.

Mr. Kenneth Felker has his port now.  Pray it helps him in his future medical treatments.

Mr. and Mrs. Bill Morris both look great!  She looks the picture of perfect health despite the fact she is continuing her medical treatment.  Keep them in your prayers as her treatment continues after they get home.

Pray for Robbie Lynn as she has almost two weeks or recovery time in the hospital.  I’m sure she and her family will be most appreciative for your prayers.

instead pray about everything;

If you do this, you will experience God’s peace,

which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.”

~Philippians 4:6-7 LB~

Ora Lee reported that her brother-in-law and sister-in-law are both in need of our prayers.  She said they and their families continue to struggle with sufficient care and setbacks.
