Please continue to keep Jom Brubaker in your prayers. As many know, Jim has underwent stem cell surgery recently and Nancy posted the update below regarding his condition. Please pray for comfort and continued healing and that the down days like he’s having today he knows that God is holding him close. Thank you.

Need those prayers, dear friends. He’s hit bottom today, sick, profoundly weak and discouraged. The PA said he’s on track...another week or so til the numbers change. Doesn’t make it any easier. Thank you in advance for praying.💖

Update from Melissa

/

Please share this update with my friends at Hollydale:

David is out of surgery.  The crohn’s disease was more widespread than anticipated so they had to remove more of his small intestine.  He is in recovery and my mom should get to talk to him once he wakes up.  The big hurdle was making it through surgery and praise God for his blessings so far.  The recovery will be difficult and he is still dealing with mesothelioma which is responding to chemo for now. 

If anyone would like to send a card, here is the address.  My mom has felt the love and prayers from Hollydale and I appreciate my Atlanta family.

Please be in prayer this morning for David, who is Melissa Wheeler’s mother’s husband. David is undergoing a highly critical surgery this morning and it’s not certain he will be able to make it through the surgery due to his health. He’s been struggling with very poor health for quite some time. The medical team are concerned about him having the surgery as well, and need your prayers as they perform the operation. Prayers for God’s hands on all in the operating room and for Donna, Melissa’s mother as she waits for answers. Thank you.

An update on Blanch Kulp and her battle with lung cancer. Please see Ken’s message below.  Good news and continued prayers are requested.  Thank you.

PET SCAN found cancer fully contained to lower left lung and is at an early stage.  She is a good candidate for robotic surgery.  They will consult with surgeon this week and make a decision, most likely in favor of surgery.  Prayers are working.  Keep praying.

Their address is 12300 Morris Road Apt 112 Alpharetta Ga 30005, if anyone wants to send a card.

Update on Ponce

/

Up date on Ponch from Tiffany. Praise Report to all! Thank you very much for the prayers..you won’t believe the miracles! It was a long night and he did experience pain but by about zero dark thirty he finally got to a solid sleep for at least 1 hour straight..the miracle that I want to share is that his first surgery of the day was tonsils and adenoids...if you have ever had that done it is not fun at all - well, Ponce was barely affected...he was and still is eating good...I’m baffled because I compared when I had mine out in the 1980’s at 14 years old - I had a horrible time and did not eat for around a month- Well, we all know Ponce! He did not barely complain of pain and eats as he always does...he told me it was because of his guardian angel that he was born with named Apollo that he met in the Operating Room- I asked him when you were awake - he said no - I was asleep and he told me because of my sad 😢 prayers and scared when you had to stay behind the doors he told me he would protect me! Praise God- 🙏🏻... Then came time for the Medial Distal Femur Hemiepiphysiodesis Knee plate surgery-this pain was off the chart in the recovery room at first - and I could not see him until they got it controlled...CHOA did an excellent job! Praise God for these medical professionals- he is now walking on his own to the bathroom and managing pain well...we have 2 more requirements and obstacles and we may get to go home...thank you all...of course this video clip reveals the real Ponce being funny even on narcotics... update on Ponch from Tiffany.
