Prayer Request - 5/17

• Elvis Bond, 2 week old baby of local couple Brandon and Kara Bond, was having problems breathing and they took him to the hospital and then he was CareFlighted him to Children's/Dallas.  He has a hole in his heart and only one valve. They are moving him to cardiology ICU this morning.  They said he is the sickest one they have.  The cardiologist will come in and determine if surgery will even help.  He can't have surgery until his organs are stronger.  They are also doing an MRI to determine if he has any brain damage from going without oxygen.
• Update on Rusty Ross (probation officer that had brain surgery yesterday):  "Good news from Dallas ...Doctor came in this morning and he is doing better than expected. Swelling is low and there is no bleeding. He is communicating well and talking .... he has already asked for some coffee this morning. God is so good.  Thank you to all of our friends and family for all the thoughts and prayers. Praying for a smooth recovery." 
• My co-worker Becky Lamberson (had breast cancer surgery on Wednesday) is doing GREAT!
• Alvin Buchanan's brother, Darell, continues to be in critical condition and is on a ventilator. (He and his wife were involved in a car accident on Monday.)  Darell's wife, Myra, is improving and should be released from the hospital next week.
