Kimberly Daniels posted:  "Update on dad, Joe Daniels.  He has a 90% blockage on the same artery from when he had his bypass back on 06..but they are afraid if they try to put a stint in it they are afraid it will mess up his bypass! There are a few other problems but they will address all the issues at a another time...the dr has contacted his heart surgeon to see what the best route is.  But he is going home today."

Robyn Figgins' friend, Jimmy Donahue, has just been diagnosed with cancer.

Faith Williams (works at Liberty Bank, had a stem cell transplant a few weeks ago) FINALLY received some good news today!  The Dr. said that the donor cells have taken over 100%!  Lung x-rays look better today, not as much fluid on her lungs.  Her blood pressure is still unstable, as well as her sugar.  They still can't remove her from the ventilator yet, due to the anxiety attacks she has when they attempt to remove it.  Dr. says he plans to remove it in the next 2 days!  PROGRESS!!!

Jose Santana (my co-worker's Dad) is much improved today!  His kidneys are at a level 3 (from an 8).  Tomorrow should be at a level 1 (which is normal kidney level) and then he can go home!  WoooHOOOO!

Nada Mehmeti (her family owns Capizzi's and she has cancer) finished her last radiation treatment yesterday.  Dr. told them he'd done all he can do.  Benny said we want a second opinion!  So they will head out to M.D. Anderson/Houston in a week or so.  She has inflammatory cancer, which is a very rare type of cancer.

Prayer Request - 9/6 - 9:22pm

Vicki Humphrey's cousin, Salah Montgomery, will be having surgery at 11:30 in the morning (Friday) at Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas to repair a torn artery to her heart.

Prayer Request Update - 9/6 - 8:12pm

Faith Williams' sister-in-law posted this message tonight:  "Faith has had a better day today.  Thank You Jesus! Only issue today was her blood pressure going too low. They got it regulated this afternoon. She hasn't become anxious today. Dr Fay said her lung X-ray looks better today, another Thank You Jesus. We do not have DNA results yet, that will show if the Donor cells have moved in and moved the diseased cells out.:

Prayer Requests - 9/6 - 7:22pm

My friend, Jacob Brem (who was in a fireworks accident) is still having many problems.  They've had to put metal rods in his eyelids...he's got a busted eardrum and then this news today...."Made it home have to be back next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  The doctor says his eye isn't any better but they are now focusing on his reconstructive surgery they are going to do it next Wednesday and use skin graft from his lip to try and fix his eyelid.  They said this is one of possibly many surgeries to come. Please continue to remember him in your prayers for strength and healing. We haven't even began to cover the hole in his ear drum yet. Thanks so much for all the prayers already we love you all!"

My co-worker, Kevin Santana's dad, Jose Santana, is in a hospital in Tyler.  He's been very ill for the last week and his kidneys were to the point of kidney failure.  He is better today though. 

Prayer Requests - 9/5 - 9:14pm

Cleve Fendley is recovering from gallbladder surgery today.

Michael & Kristi Lee are grieving the loss of his sister, Lajuanna Castle, as she was killed in a car accident this morning in Colorado.

Prayer Requests - 9/5 - 1:17pm

Vicki Humphrey sent this message today:  "Dr. Kay Queen, an adjunct instructor for PJC, has a 23 year old grandson Tyler (she and her husband raised him) who was involved in a serious accident yesterday.  He underwent surgery at a hospital in Tyler last night for brain and leg injuries."

Faith Williams had a really rough weekend.  They had to put her back in ICU and on a ventilator.  They did an MRI and she has no brain damage.  They are now trying to wean her off of the vent.  They need to stabilize her blood pressure and give her lasix to get some fluid off her lungs.  There is some pneumonia that they are also testing.  They are re-testing her DNA study to check donor/hosts count.  (If you will rememeber, she had a stem cell transplant a month ago from a non-family donor.)   If Faith is still 2/3 B-cell (bad cells) to 1/3 donor (good cells) that means that the stem cells have not engrafted as hoped...and if stem cells do not engraft, cancer is most likely to recur.  The Dr says that he and his team are stumped.  They are writing their own book with Faith's condition.

Wednesday Night For The Master will begin again this Wednesday night.  We will meet in the classroom under the basketball goal in the OutReach Bldg.

This is a group that sends cards to the sick, the shut-ins and our military.  The list is made up from prayer requests from classes on Sunday mornings.

Please contact me at mollywoodall@suddenlink.net or my cellphone at 903-669-4382.
