•Our church family prayer focus this week is Kirby & Barbara C.
•Please pray for Kathy L’s mother, Ruth W., for determination of the proper medications to treat ongoing ailments.
•Please pray for Aiden B. who will have hernia surgery Monday at 11:30 a.m. at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.
•Please continue to pray for Richard D's sister Joan. The second chemo treatment was delayed due to an outpatient surgical procedure. The chemo schedule should resume on May 16th with seven remaining treatments. The chemo treatments should be complete by August, and radiation will be started at that time.
•An update on friends of Greg & Heidi T.: Charlotte M.(from Bedford)is back at work. Her lung cancer tumor has responded to your prayers and the radiation, which was not working, has worked beautifully. She was actually expected to be dead by now. An enormous thank you for your prayers. Another C. the scene (from Lexington) has bladder cancer and would appreciate our prayers. Ed M. still appreciating your prayers for his bladder surgery from being run over by a Bobcat excavator. Please continue to pray for his wife, Joan, for strength to manage his care. Katie M., whose breast cancer metastasized into her lung, was given days to live two weeks ago; but now through your prayers a new medication is keeping her alive and breathing 60% better. Thank you, church family, for your prayers. Halleluiah!
•Please pray for a close friend of Michaela (D.) and Peter, Billy P., who is recovering from surgery. The doctors removed about 40% of his lower lip and four lymph nodes. All of that does not really matter as the pathology report has come back already and everything is clean. The margins of the "lip wedge" as well as all 4 lymph nodes have come back negative for any melanoma. He still has a bit of follow-up to do with some doctors, and because of the size of the lesion, may have some treatments over the course of the next year to reduce risk of reoccurrence. But there could be no better news at this time.
•Please continue praying with those in our fellowship who are burdened and concerned about family members and loved ones:
- Casey M. – for swift healing and recovery from the disappointment of losing his favorite sport
- Al F. who is recovering from back surgery
- Dan & Judy K. preparing for their move to teach at Black Forest Academy this summer
- B. family – for Jon’s job search
- Leigh W., struggling with deteriorating health
- Steve & Ellen A.
