Please keep the Simons family in your prayers. I received a text this morning from my daughter sharing with me that my friend Joanne’s mother, Ozell, is dying. Joanne went to Tennessee to be with her mother and got sick, couldn’t breathe and was admitted to ICU and has been there for 7 days. She told her son she didn’t want any visitors. In addition, Joanne’s daughter Brittany had a seizure at work and not sure why waiting on a doctor’s review. Cortland, Joanne’s son shared all this with my daughter and asked for prayers. Satan is working overtime in this family! Prayers for answers, acceptance, understanding, comfort, and healing for all. Thank you.
UPDATE ON GABE PARRISH: Thursday, 8/20/26
Please keep Gabe Parrish in your prayers. Gabe underwent open heart surgery on Tuesday afternoon and they ran into a complication trying to remove him from the by-pass machine, but he was stable but in serious condition. They continue to keep him intubated and sedated for the time being. As of today, Thursday 8/20, there has been no change to Gabe's condition. Donna shared just a few minutes ago the surgeon will close his chest as soon as there is an operating room available, but he will remain intubated and sedated. Prayers are needed!
Received an update from Rick about 30 minutes ago and a follow up just now. Prayer continue for Fred.
12:24 pm - This is Rick texting for Fred. He was just taken back for the heart catheter procedure. It will be at least an hour, possible two before I know anything more.
1:03 pm – This is Rick again. The doctor just came by and said the procedure went very well. Things look clear and the problems he’s been having must be due to the high blood pressure. Not sure if he’ll go home today, but fingers crossed because he is not getting any rest here in the hospital.

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

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.”
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.
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.
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.

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!
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.
Please be in prayer for Peggy Thornton’s oldest son Matt, who is an EMT. He is in Grady Hospital with severe headache and meningitis. They are doing a brain MRI today. Prayers for answers, the medical team caring for Matt, patience, comfort and healing. Prayers for his family as well as they wait for results. Thank you.
