Prayer Request Update - 11/4 - 1:09pm

PRAISE:  Sue Munday said that Iva Hargroves saw the Dr. in Dallas on Monday and has a very good prognosis. (The Dr. is 95% sure that it is NOT malignant.)  She will have surgery to remove the tumor next week. She appreciates and feels the prayers that are being offered on her behalf.

PRAISE:  Sue also said that Gary Martin (the motorcylist for Fry-Gibbs) did have his hip repaired is doing great!

Leslie Keele asked that we pray for her grandmother, Nelda Loyd, who is in a hospital in Abilene.  She has congestive heart failure.  She is Type 1 diabetic, which does complicate things more.  Leslie asked that we pray for Miss Nelda and for the doctors treating her.
Also, her granddad, Bill Loyd, is in lots of back pain.  He's been taken off pain meds, to save his kidneys, and they will be implanting a pain relief port in a few days.  PRAISE that they did find an alternative to the oral meds.

There are no firm funeral service plans yet for Jamie Sue Jenkot-Williams at this time.  I received a message from Gail Usry stating that the service will probably be on Saturday in Hugo.

Prayer Request Update - 11/3 - 6:20pm

Debra Usry sent this message this afternoon regarding former members of LACOC:  "Gail Usry just called me about 10 min. ago. She said that her niece, Jaime Sue Jenkot Williams, the 23 yr old daughter of Hank and Jan Jenkot, died. She was at work and passed out, stopped breathing. They called ambulance and they did CPR on her there, on the way to the hospital and at the ER, but they could not get her back.  Gail and Tiffany are on their way up there and Ronny is on his way home."
Please keep this family in your prayers!

Prayer Request Update - 11/3 - 12:04pm

Petra Cooke sent this message today regarding her son Marcel, who was injured in the ARMY:  "Marcel had another surgery on his ankle last Wednesday.  The surgery did NOT work.  According to his doctor he as 2 options left.  Either fuse all the bones together permanently so he would never be able to move his ankle again. (Which would include walking with a cane and hip damage down the road.)  Or, option 2 would be to amputate the foot above the ankle.  He will have to make a decision soon...so please pray for guidance and acceptance on this journey."

Thanks to you and the good people at Lamar Avenue for your prayers and support."
