Prayers and Updates

Good morning Hollydale family,

Just a few things to share with you all. Hope all is well in your world!

PRAISES! Pastor Hull spoke with Danny Toliver this week and Danny's cancer has gone into remission! Praise God!

PRAYERS - Stanley White had a cardiology appointment this week to check on some blockage he has. The doctor said nothing has changed and they don't want to do any surgery at this time. Continued prayers!

Patrick White had a stress test this week and it went well. He is dealing with some health issues and heart problems, so please continue to hold him and his family in your prayers.

Susan Davis and her son Paul both tested positive for COVID and are quarantining at this time. Minor symptoms for them both. Prayers for their health and safety of others.

Continued prayers for all during this time of year as many deal with depression and loneliness at the holiday season, and with the limitations of the pandemic, it makes it even more difficult. Check on them!

Continued prayers for all to stay safe & healthy!

Update

Praises and continued prayers for Cindy Northrup.  Carole sent the below medical update on Cindy and her battle with cancer.  Praises for progress and success, and continued prayers for her comfort and healing.  Also keep Carole in your prayers and she continues to care for her family.  Thank you.

Susan I have an update on Cindy. She has the results from her PET scan.  It is a mixed bag of news. The best news is that the cancer in her breast is 100% gone. Thank you God for that. She has improvement on the lesions from T7to T10 of 50%. The compression fracture on T11 is no worse but no better. The plan is to stay on the same treatment for the next 3 months and then recheck.  We both feel blessed to have all of your prayers and support through this time. God bless you all.

Update

Update on Louise White after her surgery.  Pastor Hull shared that Louise’s surgery went well.  She is going to stay in the hospital at least one more day for observation.  Please continue to keep her and her family in your prayers.  Thank you.

Prayer Request

Please continue to keep Louise White in your prayers.  Louise will undergo surgery this Thursday.  Also keep Stanley, Patrick and their family in your prayers as they wait.  Please pray for answers, comfort and healing for Louise.  Thank you.

Prayer Request

Please be in prayer for Irene Eichenlaub. On Monday, she will undergo surgery on her ankle. She broke a couple of bones when she fell a few days ago. If anyone would like to send a card of encouragement, her address is 4506 Flowering Branch, Powder Springs 30127. Thanks to you and all.

Prayer Request

Please continue to keep Cindy Northrup, Carole Shelburne’s daughter, in your prayers.  As many know, Cindy was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago and has been undergoing two different chemo treatments.  She goes every 3 weeks for treatment, and the after chemo shots are very painful and a problem as they make her sick and cause bone pain.  The shots are necessary as they boost her white cells that the chemo messes with and it takes her a week to recover and by the time she feels better, it’s time to do it again.  Please pray for comfort for Cindy as she struggles through this battle.  It’s an uphill battle for both Cindy and Carole who is there to help and to support her.  Thank you.

If you would like to send Cindy and Carole a note or card of encouragement, their address is below:

2045 Leatherleaf Court

Marietta, GA  30008

Update on Ruth Davenport..... I received the below update from Carolyn Wilson on Ruth Davenport who underwent heart surgery on Monday. Please continue to keep Ruth (and Tip & Patty) in your prayers as she recovers from her surgery. Pray for strength, patience, healing and comfort. If you would like to send a note or card to Ruth, her address is below. Thank you. I talked to Ruth today. She came home from the hospital yesterday. She had a pacemaker put in and is hoping that this will help some of her problems. She has to rest and take it easy, of course. She thanks everyone for their concern and for all of the prayers. I know that she would appreciate some cards. Carolyn Wilson Address: 1781 Kimberly Drive Marietta, GA 30008

Prayer Request

Please be in prayer for Mary Justice’s niece, Jamie Justice. Mary shared Jamie’s health concerns below and asked for prayers for Jamie, her husband Michael and their family. Please keep them in your prayers as they accept the heartbreaking news and find comfort in knowing people are praying for them. Their address is below should you wish to send a note of encouragement. Thank you.

Susan, please send this out to the wonderful prayer warriors within Hollydale and to those other praying folks on the email list. Just got a message on fb regarding my Niece, Jamie Justice. Jamie went into the hospital just a couple days ago as she was feeling really bad and has been diagnosed with cancer yesterday. She's going to have a chemo port put in next week and do some chemo over the next few months. There will be a surgery in 3-4 months. The heartbreaking news is the doctor said her life expectancy is around 54 months. I know as well as all the praying warriors that odds can be beat and we serve a Mighty God. Please lift up Jamie and her husband Michael. I am going to share this with Touch of Grace for folks to send cards and I am enclosing that address here as well. They are a sweet couple. They have 3 daughters. Address: 12410 Franklin Park Lane Huntersville NC 28078 She works with SunTrust and when the buyout occurred she was transferred to Huntersville. So they are far from family. Thanks for the prayers.
