Prayer Request from Susan Davis

Please be in prayer for my sister, Ketiva Lynch.  Ketiva was taken to the hospital yesterday afternoon and is in ICU due to what they believe was acute kidney failure due to the Lupus disease.  She has slightly improved this morningafter medication and help, but is still very disoriented and weak.  They are going to do an MRI to see if they can determine the exact cause.  Prayers for answers, the medical team to be able to treat her and for a CURE for the terrible disease of Lupus which destroys your organs.  Thank you.

Prayer Request

Please continue to keep Mary’s Aunt Betty in your prayers.  Mary sent the update below on her condition.  Please pray for continued healing and comfort.  Thank you.

Susan, just updating everyone on Betty’s condition.  She regained use of the right extremity, arm and leg but her speech is still a little confusing.  But she is continually improving. Still no known cause yet.  Still in the hospital.

Prayer Request

Please keep Gail Draper in your prayers.  Gail has been having healing issues with her right foot for quite some time and has struggled to walk.  A hole developed on the bottom of her foot and is causing extreme pain.  She text me today and said they are going to do surgery on the foot for the hole and ask for prayers.  This morning she discovered her left foot has a big blister spot in the same area as on the right, which is how the first one developed.  This is obviously upsetting to Gail.  Please pray for healing and answers for Gail and wisdom and steady hands for the doctor and his staff.  Thank you.
