Prayer Request

/

Please keep Fred Birk’s mother and their family in your prayers. She has been put under Hospice care. Fred and Rick are flying to Iowa in the morning to be with her and Fred’s father. Prayers for safe travels and answers and comfort for his mother and peace for the family in any decisions made.

Also, Fred has asked that no post be made directly to him at this time as his father shares some friends on FB and he doesn’t want him to get upset. His father is not part of the Hollydale Family FB page so please know it’s okay to share your support for them through this page. Thank you.

Please be in prayer for Bonnie Zeggert and her family. She shared with me just a few minutes ago that Karl went to be with our Lord this morning. He had a heart attack. Bonnie and her daughter Heather were able to go in and be with him to tell him goodbye. His sons Buddy, Tim and David were able to be on the phone to say goodbye as well. Bonnie shared that Karl wanted his body to be donated to Syracuse University but because of the distance from Syracuse, it would take too long to transport. She said "in the end he went from us very peacefully." Please pray for comfort and peace for the family as they grieve the loss of their loved one. Thank you.

Saturday- 2/13

I have good news! Praise God!

Karl had a temporary pacemaker put in yesterday, his heart rate is staying at a constant 60. It was dropping to the low 20’s, which is much too low. His kidneys are healing and he does not need dialysis. His lungs are healing and not collapsing with every move. He still has a blood infection and this infection has set up in the lungs. He on a very strong antibiotic. He is still intubated and on a ventilator. On Monday and Tuesday they are putting in a feeding tube and a tracheotomy so they can remove the ventilator from his mouth. He has been in ICU for 24 days and intubated for 16 days. I am looking forward to him being able to open his eyes and smile.

Sunday – 2/14

Today Karl had a fever! They are trying to find the source of the problem. Dr. Winer, his surgeon, told Heather and I that he will take 15 steps forward and 8 steps back. I pray that this is just a small set back. 

From his daughter Heather…..However, he is not doing well today. It looks like he has a brain bleed. His medical team is fighting hard for him.

Update on Karl Zeggert from his daughter Heather. Please continue to pray.

My Dad isn’t doing all that well. He is on a ventilator, having some heart troubles, and every time he is moved his lungs collapse. He doesn’t have cdif and his kidneys are working better. My mom has been given the ability to go in and see him. Every day seems like a new challenge. Keep him, us and everyone involved in his care in your prayers and thoughts.
