Update on Sandy Welch - 6/28

Jay Anthony just posted this update:  Enough please! Pray for Sandy. She will have a MRI this afternoon because the doctors saw something that concerned them. This Godly servant is absolutely the most unselfish and caring Christian example of steadfast faith that I've ever witnessed. She is love in action for Christ and not simply lip service. I'm proud to have her as my other Mom.

Prayer Request - 6/27

After having spine surgery earlier this year, Loretta Nabors continues to have problems.  Yesterday she had a myelogram (looking for a pinched nerve) at Texas Spine and Joint Hospital in Tyler yesterday morning.
She has completed the 24 hours of lying flat after the myelogram .  She hopes to hear from the doctor today. 
She says... "I am doing pretty good today. Have to take it easy the next 24 hours though. Caffeine is taking the headache away but I don't have much energy and I feel like I've been beat, but I'm praying by tomorrow I'll be back at it."

Update on Sandy Welch - 6/27

Sandy fell on Sunday and broke her hip.  She had surgery yesterday and did great, but as so many know she will face a road ahead of recovery. Sandy is Jay & Kristi's biggest help.  She is with Kristi most of the time and does so much for the family.  Please pray for her to rest and recover.
