UPDATE from Shelley:

Her mother came through her surgery this morning and is doing well Prayers for her recovery and health.

Received the below prayer request from Shelley Brewster about her mother and upcoming surgery. Please keep Leslie Bachman in your prayers along with the medical team caring for her and her family who wait for results.

Hey Susan, I have a prayer request for my Mom, Leslie Bachman, she is having a procedure tomorrow, July 1st, to remove plaque in her artery (aortic calcification). It is close to her brain so I am asking for prayers for her and the healthcare team that is working on her. I very much appreciate any time anyone can take to do this. Thank you so very much. Xoxo

Please keep my daughter’s friend, Dr. Jennifer, in your prayers.  Dr. Jennifer has been awaiting a liver transplant for quite some time and some details are below.  Prayers for a donor and good health for Jennifer.  Thank you.   

 

She has been awaiting a liver transplant for quite some time. I do not know the underlying reason for the need for it. However, to receive a liver, your MELD score has to be a certain number. Her MELD score is continuing to increase, and she is now on the "top" of the list. According to her doctors, it could be a matter of months before she is able to have a transplant.  Please pray for a perfect match to come soon so that she can have this life saving surgery.  Her MELD score is higher than previous visits, however it is still not indicative of clinical illness.  Ideally, she would like a transplant prior to this number indicating clinical illness. 

Outside of being on the list and awaiting a donor,  her only option is to have a volunteer donor that is a match. 

She would like her first name only used, for professional anonymity.

Please keep my daughter’s friend Kailen in your prayers.  Kailen is a young single mother who recently found a lump in her breast and the mammogram couldn’t determine what it was, so she had a biopsy this week and is very concerned as her grandmother had breast cancer a few years ago. Prayers for answers and good results from the biopsy along with strength and comfort during the time of waiting.  Thank you.

Please be in prayer for my daughter’s friend, Athenia Blomquist and her family.  Athenia has been battling breast cancer since 2021 when she was first diagnosed, with going into remission and the cancer returning a couple of different times.  Athenia has made the decision to not do anymore treatments.  She’s now under Hospice home care and says she’s at peace with her decision.  Athenia is in her early 40’s, is a wife and mother of two boys.  Prayers for comfort, acceptance and peace for her and her family as she moves through this next step of her journey.  Thank you.

Please keep Josh Bryan and his family in your prayers.  Josh is the husband of Gail Black’s sister Wynona;s.  Josh has been sick for a while but refused to go to the doctor.  He had an infected arm and was in a good bit of pain.  Gail convinced him to go to WellStar Cobb Hospital where they did surgery on his left arm.  They admitted him and have found cancer in his back and maybe other areas.  He had cancer before and thought it may be back.  Prayers for answers, acceptance, treatments, comfort, and healing.  Thank you.
