On the way to the E. R. this morning with grandson he said…Nana…why are you calling so many people to pray for me? I said, Ya know…when you have a need, you ask your friends to storm the gates of heaven lifting up that need to God…in this case our need is you and just like papa let the hospital know we were coming, we also wanted God to know too. With his wise little eyes staring into mine he said…well, thanks that’s good, but I think God already knows. Ya gotta love it!
He lost a lot during his uncontrollable nose bleed, but on the way the bleeding stopped. He was checked out and all his vitals were good, and they told us to keep an eye on him, but there wasn’t anything to do on their part. I know it was the prayer.
thank you!

Please cover our granddaughter in prayer.  She was to have surgery today (3/27), but the surgeon was only able to do an exploratory procedure.  She is now being referred to a surgeon at hospital, but we do not know when this will happen.  Pray for good decisions to be made and peace for her and her family.  God knows the rest of the story.  Thank you all.

would you all please pray for a friend.
Her mother will be spending the next 8 months in jail.
for some reason instead of leaving her here with us,where she spends most all her time and has since she was 2wks old,her mother has a boyfriend that has spent very little time with her in charge of this child and he just lets any one that will take her have her.
I’m sure most of you remember that she is not a healthy child and needs lots of care.
I know God has a plan for her but we can’t help but feel lost without her.
please pray for her
her own grandparents havent spent a great deal of time with child,,we just are very lost

Please pray for a friend and his 2 daughters. He is a single dad and struggling in the parenting department. We all know how trying it can be raising teenagers. Please pray for God’s guidance in this family.
Also, please pray for, a young girl who is traveling down a bad path. She has alot of good in her and so much potential. I pray that God will open her eyes and heart to a better direction.
Thank you prayer warriors. We do know how much God loves the children.

Dear all,

Please hold Pator and her family in your prayers as they lost everything in a house fire Friday night.  They were not harmed and their dogs were able to get out.  A lady that lives in the upstairs apartment was not at home, but her dog passed away.  This is all of the information that we know at this time, but will pass anything along as soon  as we know of anything.

All,
A change from last update…..
The removed cyst on 2/ 24 was fully analyzed and it was determined to be Stage 3. This prompted another test – a PET scan- which is radioactive sugar water …it is introduced into the suspected area and it will  “light up” if it is positive…..there was some ‘lighting up’ in the throat area…

This prompted another biopsy  of the throat area, This was done this past Tues, 3/ 20. The initial report from pathology -that same morning- was CLEAR…..She has been home since then as she has no voice. They scraped pretty hard and probably rubbed the vocal chords pretty good too.

What is confusing is that there seems to be some doubt as to what is really there…biopsies are clear – yet the scans  and tests show ‘something cloudy/questionable’….??..??

At any rate her local team of surgeon, oncologist and radiation guru are in agreement that there should be a combination of chemo and radiation….to the tune of 33 radiation shots  @ 5 per week and  chemo 1 per week….for about 7 weeks….pretty aggressive but their logic is she is physically strong and otherwise healthy in order to handle the treatment….

We have a 2nd opinion set for Mon/ Tue- so we will shuffle off Mon AM. We meet the oncologist Mon afternoon and Radiation Doc on Tue AM. If there is concurrence on their end as to the prescribed treatment plan that is on tap by Docs- then we’ll proceed to git r dun….we’ll get back and begin the process…

She will be outfitted for a protective mask to wear during radiation and get a tube for feeding . She will likely not be able to eat solid food as her throat will be extremely sore….Voice will probably change and hair will likely fall out…..in all of this , she maintains a positive attitude….and I thought I was tuff..??..??

And she IS tuff- as most of you can attest to….she must be- for putting up with my schitt for 25+ years…..think good thoughts and plenty of prayers for her…..

Will report soon….standby….

Request prayers for a friend’s wife, and the whole family as she battles can-cer in the area of her vocal cords.  She is facing chemo and radiation.  To do this, she will need to be fed through a tube.  They are going for a second opinion, prior to making any firm plans.  Prayers are needed, warriors!
