Prayer Request

Received the below email from Donna Parrish regarding her son Gabe. Please keep Gabe in your prayers for answers, comfort & healing.

Dear friends, prayer warriors, please be in prayer for my son. He is in the hospital. He had a heart attack, was placed in a coma, and placed on a respirator. They flew him from the small hospital in my town to a larger hospital. Thankfully, he was in the coma for only a day. They decided to wake him up and remove the respirator after only one day and he came through that okay. He is tentativly scheduled for bypass surgery tomorrow. Thank you!

With all my love,

Donna

Prayer Request

I received the message below from Rick regarding Fred Birk who had to go to the emergency room today due to chest pains and shortness of breath.  As we’ve shared earlier, Fred is under a lot of pressure and feeling a of anxiety due to his father’s nursing home situation.  Please pray for the medical team, answers for the right treatment, comfort and healing.  Thank you. 

 

Hi Susan-  Fred left work early today to go to Cobb ER because of chest pains and shortness of breath.  We’ve been here since 3:30 or so. When he arrived his blood pressure was 198/124.  They gave him meds to bring that down but it’s still too high 192/98.  They’ve decided to admit him and schedule a heart catheter tomorrow morning.  If that goes well he can probably go home afterwards.  Right now it’s still a bit of “wait and see.” 

 

 

Prayer Request

Please keep Fred Birk and his father in your prayers. Fred sent the below text to me this morning relating to his father and brother who is making decisions that goes against his father’s medical team and doctors and Fred’s desire for his father’s care. Prayers for discernment, answers, guidance and peace as well as his father’s health be the first priority in any decisions made. Thank you.

Good morning. I just want to let you know that I need the Church Community to pray for me really hard. My brother is discharging my dad from the Nursing home, and this is not what I want or the medical team or the doctors. My heart is so heavy today and I have anger and I need just God to come in and give me peace.

Update

Good afternoon,

Fred sent me an update on his doctor’s appointment.  The doctor said they are seeing some blockage.  He is taking medication and scheduling a heart catheter and see how much the percentage is, then will see if a stint is needed.  Prayers for answers, patience, calmness and healing for the next steps. Thank you. 

 

Prayer Request

Please keep Fred Birk in your prayers.  He has a follow up appointment for a heart situation today.  He had heart surgery about 10 years ago and during a check up they told him there was a spot on his heart they need to check out.  He’s a bit nervous which is understandable.  Prayers for answers, good results, calmness, and acceptance for whatever steps might be coming next.  Thank you.

Please keep Toni Cox in your prayers.  Below is an update from Marsi relating to Toni’s heart situation.  Prayers for the right answers, wisdom, the medical team, and for healing for Toni.  Thank you. 

Hi Susan, can you please share this prayer request? Mom had a procedure to shock her heart back into a natural rhythm. It worked for 3 weeks but, unfortunately, her AFib is back. We met with a specialist today. He is recommending implanting a watchman, a device to prevent heart attack or stroke, and an ablation on her heart to try and stop the AFib. Please pray for wisdom as we make decisions for next steps and for healing for mom. Thank you!

 

 

Update

Good afternoon,  

I received the below update from Peggy a few minutes ago regarding her son Matt.  Please continue to keep him in your prayers as he continues to recover and heal.  Thank you. 

Hi , Susan; Matthew is home now and is feeling ok; He has to take some strong medicine for two weeks, then the antivirals(which he was already taking) for life. This has been a very scary, stressful time, and I really appreciate the thoughts and prayers.

Update on Toni Cox…….Marsi sent the below update on Toni and her procedure.  Thank you all for your prayers and please continue to keep Toni in your prayers as they work through this situation. 

Mom‘s procedure was a success. She is currently out of a fib. Praise God!  Thank you for the prayers!  Her heart rate is low so they are adjusting some of her meds.  They want us to keep a log of her blook pressure and heart rate and follow up with her cardiologist.

 

 

Prayer Request

Please be in prayer for Toni Cox.  Toni will undergo a procedure on Monday, June 15th, at Kennestone Hospital relating to her heart to hopefully find what is causing her to stay in Afib.  Hopefully this procedure will allow the medical team to determine the next steps in getting her heart back on track.  Prayers for the medical team, answers, comfort and healing for Toni.  Thank you.

 

 

Update

From Susan Davis

Good afternoon all,

 

I went for my post-op appointment this afternoon and all is well.  They removed all the cancer and there was no sign of spread into the lymph nodes!.  Praise the Lord!  I don’t have to undergo any additional treatment and just need to follow up with my GI Specialists in June, probably be put on a short list for colonoscopy check once a year for a bit. Thank you all for your prayers, calls, text, emails, visits, gifts, etc. I appreciate your support and know that having such strong prayer warriors made this happen!  God is so GOOD!  Love you all!      

 

Prayer Request

From Susan Davis:

Please keep my daughter's coworker Dr. Jennifer in your prayers. She has been on the wait list for a liver transplant for quite some time and just received the call at 9:00 tonight they have a match and she has to be at Emory Hospital at 12 am to start the process.  Prayers for the medical team, a successful transplant and comfort and healing as she recuperates.  Thank you. 


Update

From Susan Davis:

Good morning,

 I’ve been meaning to send an update but just haven’t taken the time.  Still processing it all.  The biopsy was positive for cancer but they said it was well differentiated which means it has not spread and can be removed.  Doesn’t think additional treatment such as radiation or chemo will be necessary, but can’t be 100% sure until surgery is done and they clarify the stage it is in.  I had an appointment with the Gastroenterologist surgeon last Wednesday and it went well.   I'm now waiting for the WellStar scheduling department to call and set a date for surgery. The surgeon indicated it should be within the next couple weeks.   Hopefully sooner than later.  Thank you for your continued prayers and for reaching out and checking on me!  God’s got this!

Received the below message from Stanley White aboutLouise falling.  Please pray for answers, comfort and healing.  Thank you. 

 

Louise fell in the bathroom at home yesterday. She was pain with trouble using her left arm. This morning I was helping her get ready for the day so I could leave for Cartersville. She fell again face down. I call the paramedics and they took her to Wellstar South. It's not life threatening, they are still working with her. She is in the ER but not in a room. They haven't taken me back at this time. With much Love to our Lord. Thanks so much and you can share with one as you see fit.

 


Prayer Request

From Susan Davis:

Good afternoon,

 

I come to you today asking for prayers for myself.  I’m not one that does that very often.  Earlier this week I had the 10-year routine colonoscopy, and a polyp was found that they believe to be cancerous and a biopsy was done.  I’ve not been told of the biopsy results but the gastroenterologist has referred me to an oncologist for review.  I went this morning to have a CTScan done to determine if there were any other areas that may be affected and have an appointment with the oncologist on Monday morning to review everything to determine next steps.  I will share this has been a bit unnerving with just the possibility.  Prayers for good news-no cancer spread, calmness, discernment, right medical treatment and healing. I appreciate it!
