Prayer Request Update

/

Thank you to all who have been praying for Kristen. They found that the pain radiating on her left side area was from having two small hairline fractured ribs for where she fell at home. There really isn't much they can do for the ribs except take Advil and use a Lidocaine pain patch on the area. She has spoken with a Behavior Therapist at Kennestone and has chosen to do an out-patient program and has been referred to a psychiatrist for the depression and alcohol abuse counseling. I was hesitant to have her go on an out-patient basis, but we shall see how it goes and it's not under my control for sure. She is being released from the hospital today, so please continue to hold her in your prayers that she can make the changes needed in her life to give her balance and be healthy. I'm doing okay, just tired for those that asked. Thank you for being my prayer warriors!

Please keep my daughter Kristen in your prayers. I went to the doctor with her this morning and she was having severe abdominal pain and trembles. She has been abusing alcohol and in a deep depression for a while now and that Is why we went to the doctor in the first place to seek some help and guidance. She wouldn’t go on her own so I took her myself. The doctor sent her to the emergency room and she is being admitted to Kennestone hospital. They did a CT scan and there were some cysts on her pancreas which is signs of alcohol abuse. The doctor is consulting with a counselor and hopefully she will soon be given options for detox and help. I’ve known about her situation for a while but she wouldn’t acknowledge it. Today she did and admitted she wants help. Please pray for her health, both physical and mental and that she will receive the support and help needed to bring her back to a much healthier life. I know God has this! Thank you.

Please be in prayer for Anjari James Carter and his mother, Tiffany.  Toni Cox sent the request and information below relating to Anjsri's health.  Please pray for healing for this young man.  Thank you.

This is a prayer request from my daughters friend Tiffany. Please pass it along to anyone that you know will pray. He has sickle cell and already had to have his hip replaced at only 18 years old. He is back in the hospital unrelated to hip.

Sorry to bother on this Saturday morn, but I have a request. Please stop whatever you are doing at noon and say a prayer for Anjari James Carter. I am a believer in the prayers of the righteous and that is why I chose you all. No need to reply back, just go to God and have a conversation with him on behalf of my child. Psalm 86:2 says, “Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in You. You are my God.” I lift my child up to him and I am asking for healing over his entire body, that Ja may be transformed as the Lord hears and answers each one of our prayers!! Thanks in advance and I love you all. Don’t forget at noon, let’s ALL go to him and intercede on behalf of Ja.

Thank you all so much. Tiffany is a single mom and a teacher at Milford Elementary.

Please be in prayer for Kathie Tharpe, the sister of my coworker Mitchell Taylor.  Mitchell shared with me this morning that Kathie has battled breast cancer and overcame it, but then began having severe headaches and balance issues.  After testing, a brain tumor which is cancerous was found and she underwent radiation recently, which shrunk the tumor.  They did a follow up test and found that she now has small cancerous tumors in her brain and upper spinal cord and will be undergoing a medical trial with a new medication they hope will destroy the cancer. IT has been successful in 50% of the people who have been part of the trial.  Kathie is a strong Christian woman and believes God will take care of her and appreciates all who will hold her in prayer.  Pray for answers, comfort and healing for Kathie and her family.  Thank you.

Update and continued prayer request

/

Please continue to keep Christian Peterson in your prayers.  Below is an update Mary provided on his recent surgery.  Please pray for comfort and good results from the pathology test.  Thank you.

Susan, please share this with Hollydale Methodist.  I have an update from Karen Peterson.  He had surgery to remove a brain tumor this past Monday.  The surgeon team got most of the tumor but they couldn't safely get all of it.  There was also one part that didn't look the same as the rest so they separated and sent both off for pathology. 

Keep all of this family in your thoughts and prayers.

Please keep Mary Justice’s nephew, Ricky Pierce, in your prayers.  Mary sent the prayer request below.  Thank you.

 

Susan, I would like to request prayers for my nephew, Ricky Pierce who lives in Rome Ga.  He had surgery 18 months ago to remove his Prostrate.  He was told that the Gleason score was 9 of 10 which is 1 point away from the worst.  He will begin 39 radiation treatments the day before Thanksgiving and have treatments 5 days a week.  This is his second round of treatment considering he had the problem previously and had the surgery.

Just lifting him up in prayers.
