Praise! Thank you all for praying for Holly and Laurie this last week.

All that is left to come back in Holly’s (our daughter, 14) arm & hand is the correct sensation of things on the tip of her right thumb (you’d be surprised how much that little spot gets used) and complete sensation in her forearm. She had a couple of spots that feel “weird.” We think she’s feeling the right thing, just less of it. We are so thankful for all the progress she’s made! That was all due to improper positioning during surgery.

Her right thigh (after her PAO - hip surgery) is beginning to get some sensation again but mostly shooting pain at times. Please pray that stage passes quickly and complete sensation is restored soon.

We’ve been home since last Tuesday evening.

Please remember to pray for Laurie, my friend, this week who has two very serious doctors appointments concerning a mass on her ovary.

My daughter's father-in-law is being diagnosed with a rare One in a million fatal brain destroying disease and has probably less than 6 months to live. He is 58 years old. On Easter Sunday he left the hospital after being there three days. He walked into the hospital but was unable to walk out. He has lost use of all appendages, vision problems, etc. His name is Phil and he is a strong believer. Please pray that God is merciful and sustains this family through whatever will God has in store for them.

UPDATE:

Holly’s control and sensation in her right arm and hand is returning. The thumb is still lacking. That right arm and hand (and of course the thumb) are lacking a little strength. Please continue to pray for complete recovery of strength, control and sensation throughout. Thank you for all your prayers this far.

Her hip is very achy, understandably. She lacks movement and strength, even in the good (left) leg to an extent. After, your pelvis is connected. The top of her right thigh is still numb. Mobility, the simplest of things is a great challenge.

We are five days post op and still in the hospital. They are talking about discharge later today, but more likely tomorrow maybe. We are going to need A LOT of equipment and maybe home health care for a bit in the beginning. Please pray we can get that in place very quickly before or as we head home.

It looks as though my good friend, Laurie, who I’ve asked for prayer before due to breast cancer is going to need an immediate hysterectomy.

Good afternoon Urbancrest,

A very very good friend of mine just called me to tell me that they found a spot on her ovary. She hasn’t talk to the doctor yet so she doesn’t know the details of that or what needs to be done but she is scared. Please pray for her. Her name is Lori. You’ve prayed for her in the past and she thinks you immensely for those prayers. She said she’s sure they are what has gotten her through so far. I asked for prayer for her about two years ago when she had breast cancer and she has been clear for a time now.

Also, our daughter Holly is having surgery on Thursday morning to fix her hip dysplasia.Thanks very much.

Please pray for my vision that is getting worse because of macula degeneration. I had to give up driving. One reason I moved into the assistant living place plus my back and leg pain is getting worse I really think this is the best place for me because they have lot of things to do plus they take you wherever you need to go. They have Bible study and church service too. They even have a doctor that comes in twice a week and a nurse on duty 24/7 if I would need them. I still can come and go as I please and have a brand new studio apartment. The best is they feed me three meals a day which is good because I don’t cook anymore. I am only about 15 minutes from Ted and his family. Ted is more comfortable with me there because it is a secure place. God has been so good to me. Thanks for the prayers.
