Update on Cherry Walker - 4/5

Brian Robbins just updated me on his aunt, Cherry Walker:  Cherry's paralysis on her right side is GONE!!!  She still can't talk yet.  They gave her the meds that are supposed to help when someone is having a stroke, but doctor said there's only a 1% chance that the clot on her brain would dissolve, on its' own.  BUT...when they did the test, the clot had already DISSOLVED on its own!!!  We now need to pray that her speech will come back!  She will continue to be in ICU another few days, then go to a step down unit there in the hospital.  Prayers have been answered....but continue to pray for her!!!!

Update on Cherry Walker - 4/4

Our sweet sister, Cherry Walker, suffered a stroke yesterday afternoon around 5pm.  (She was to have open heart surgery this morning at PRMC.)  She was taken to Plano Medical Center and is in ICU.  She has bleeding on the brain, she can't speak, but does have some movement.
Please keep her and her family in your prayers.
(This information was from her nephew Brian Robbins.)

Our Sympathy....

Dinah Border's friend, Jimmie (McDowra) Goodson, passed away this morning.  She'd had a stroke 3 weeks ago and she'd been moved to Legends.  Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.

Prayer Requests - 4/4

Derald Bulls asked that we pray for his daughter and friends:

• Haley (Bulls) Smith is having some health issues.
• Marcia Putnam.  She has been moved to hospice at Harris Methodist Hospital/Ft. Worth.
• Kevan Bennett will be having another surgery, in the near future, on his vocal chords.

Weekly Update 4/3

Thank you Patrick for our message this morning. . .REFUGE.  The text was take from Psalm 46.  This was such a relevant subject because of two reasons.
The LTC kids and coaches brought home so many medals last weekend from LTC. The theme this year was REFUGE.
Also, our building was a refuge for over 1,000 people, who were here to pay their respects for Trooper Jeffrey Nichols.  (There were 30 states represented.)
Pray for more opportunities for our church to be a refuge for everyone.

RESPONSE:  I went forward this morning asking for prayers for me and Webber.  Today is day 126 of a migraine for him. I can't imagine how miserable that is.  He has an appointment in 3 weeks for the botox injections.
