Prayer Requests - 10/18 - 8:18pm

Ed Bullard has been in PRMC/South, since right after church yesterday morning.  He will be having  a colonoscopy on Wednesday and gallbladder surgery on Thursday.

Michelle Anderson posted this on facebook earlier, regarding the medical tests she's had this past week:  "Spinal sclerosis from T4 down, scoliosis above T4. Learning exercises to help with pain & slow advancement. MRI of brain tomorrow (yes, to see if I have one) looking for possible tumor on pituitary gland. Appoitment with Dr. Dickey next Tuesday, then endocrinologist next Wednesday, Dr. Zimmerman appointment for hormone treatments cancelled since it can cause auto immune disorders. Since I already have rheumatoid, probably not a good idea."

LADIES...Don't forget...H.A.L.O. meets tomorrow night at 6pm.  Our project this month is our LACOC Benevolent Food Pantry.  Bring finger foods and games to play.

Hood to a children's hospital somewhere north of Austin at this time.  Bentley had some fever earlier in the week and was sent home.

Prayer Requests - 10/14 - 8:48pm

I received this message from Michelle Anderson today regarding her tests:  "So far here's what I know...Dr. Chadwick ruled out hysterectomy and is working on increasing hormones with other means. Bone density ruled out osteoporosis. I've been diagnosed with spinal sclerosis...waiting to find out more about that and what to do about it. I am waiting for an appointment with Dr. Zimmerman for possible hormone treatments. More tests to come for some other issues."

Wayne Tolbert had surgery on his lung @ Medical City/Dallas today.  It was a 5 hour procedure and they believe that they got all of the tumor.  He is in ICU now and will be there for 5-7 days.

Sandra Leath is at PRMC-S 506.  Marolyn Woodall said that she has pneumonia again and is very swollen.

Dorothy Snodgrass' daughter, Angie Ross, (Debra Usry's friend) has sent this message regarding her Mom just finding out that Leukemia has reappeared:  "We are at Baylor/Dallas - Roberts Bldg. - Room 902, with a team of docs that are taking very good care of us.  Mom has luekemia.  She was in remission for a little over 2 years from stage 4 breast cancer.  We found out Monday that it's back and came to Baylor on Tuesday.  We need lots of prayers.  The past 3 years have not been very nice to us between the breast cancer, Dad passing away and now leukemia.  She will be here for at least a month recovering and hoping for remission so we can have a bone marrow transplant. 
She's made it through 24 hours of chemo only 144 more hours to go.  Everything is going great.  It is making mom really tired.  No sickness and no fever which is our biggest fears right now."

Kristie Lee sent this message:  "Marty and Kayla Pruett, from Bogata, had their little girl Makalyn on 9/22, she had surgery for Spina Bifida on 9/24. They have had several ups and downs and Kayla is staying in Dallas with the baby while her 6 year old is here with his grandparents. She's feeling very stressed right now because she wants to be 2 places at once and can't be. Also, Makalyn was supposed to be able to come home this weekend and she has started running a fever so now they are doing all sorts of tests on her to find the infection! Any and all prayers would be appreciated so that they can bring her home and quit being quite so stressed out!"

HONORED: John Mark Stallings Field is the name given to the football field at Faulkner University, this past Friday. Coach Gene & Ruth Ann Stallings were in Montgomery, Alabama this past Friday for the honors.

The field could have been named for any number of famous players or coaches, but John Mark’s qualities made his choice a natural for the Christian university.
“With his death, we became more determined that our program would endeavor to uphold the highest standards of character and sportsmanship because our field would bear the name of John Mark Stallings,” Billy Hilyer (Faulkner University President) said. “Because you’ve given Faulkner a great gift, the name of your son, we pledge to honor that gift, we promise that the John Mark Stallings Field will stand as a symbol of character and effort in the highest standard of sportsmanship,”

We have the opportunity to be a part of a Medical Evangelism for the Mexico flood victims. They are in need of these items: Vitamins, Aspirin, Tylenol, Glasses and School Supplies.  There are boxes in the foyer for these items.  Next Sunday, Oct. 17th, is the last day to donate.

H.A.L.O.:  We'll meet on Tuesday, October 19th, at 6pm.  This month's community project is the LACOC pantry.  Bring items for stocking our benevolent pantry for the upcoming months.  Also, bring finger foods and your favorite games to share.
