Prayer Request Update - 9/28 - 11:35am

Dianna Welch sent this message: "A friend has asked that her mom, Peggy Sparks, be put on our prayer list. She has been having some health issues and had appointments with doctors tomorrow to have some tests run. But, this past Friday, she passed out at the school where she teaches and hit her head and broke her ankle. She had an emergency pacemaker put in on Friday evening at the hospital in Denton where she lives, but she remains in ICU on a ventilator. They cannot do surgery to repair her ankle until her other issues have been resolved. Her family is very concerned about her. Please keep her, as well as her family, in your prayers."

Robyn Figgins' brother, Bradley Smith, went back to the Dr. today about the side effects of the meds he was taking. The Dr. said that 1 in 10,000 have the effects that he did....so, she took him off, and going to start him on another one.

What a GREAT day! So much going on and so much to take in! Patrick is really getting us into Ecclesiastes...I'm really enjoying it - Thank you Patrick!
If you weren't at church tonight, you missed the "Shepherd Clusters". We were split into groups with 2 elders. We discussed, we prayed, and we listened to lots of good ideas. Wonderful ideas!
Also, I don't know who is responsible for the beautiful flowers at the front of the church, but they are so pretty....the fall colors are incredible! I love this change in seasons. Thank you Lord for all the changes.

Martha Crockett called today and updated me on Bill & Jean King. Jean has a punctured lung and they are now worried about bloodclots. Bill is out of the intermediary room of ICU and in a regular room, but they are letting him be with Jean, while in a wheelchair.

Robyn Figgins and Cari Johnson's Mom, Peggy Smith, had her day surgery in Dallas today. Kari was on the way back to Paris with her and they had to stop at Presbyterian/Greenville ER because Peggy's tongue was swelling up. They think she's allergic to the pain meds....but as of right now they are still in the ER.

Mike Middleton, my co-workers Dad, is continuing to recover from by-pass surgery at PRMC/North. He did develop pneumonia, but is doing much better. The Dr. has said he may go home either tomorrow or Saturday!
