Prayer Request

I received the message below from Sharon Kirby regarding her brother and sister-in-law.  Please keep them in your prayers as they battle Covid and the pneumonia that her brother has developed.  Prayers for comfort, healing and the medical team caring for them both.  Thank you.

Susan,

I found out today that my brother has been admitted to a regional hospital for double pneumonia as a result of COVID.   My sister-in-law is in ER, but is not as serious. Neither have had their vaccines. Please offer prayers for them. 

For anyone who can, but have not received your COVID vaccine, please reconsider it.

Update on Melissa’s mother Donna……Please continue to keep her and the family in your prayers. Thank you.

Update: My mom has small cell lung cancer. This is not a type that is diagnosed in stages but if it has metastasized or not. She has one more scan on Thursday to confirm, but it is optimistic that it has not spread. She will get a port on Wednesday followed by chemo and immunotherapy next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The doctor is aggressively fighting with 7 medicines per treatment. She will have three weeks off and treatments again for 3 days in a row.

I appreciate all the love and prayers from Hollydale.

Susan: Please pass this along to the faithful Hollydale Prayer Warriors!

It was so good to see everyone and be “home” at church a few weeks ago. I couldn’t stop crying from happiness and the love I felt while with my Atlanta family.

It’s my SC family that needs prayers this week. After an ER visit, a mass was discovered in my mom’s lung (Donna). She is having a biopsy on Thursday morning (10/21). The doctor believes he will find stage 3 lung cancer. He also thinks it will be treatable with a strong fight. She is ready for that fight, but we are still waiting to know exactly what we are dealing with. He husband is currently fighting mesothelioma so that is quite a bit for one household.

And then there’s Granny (Miriam). The time has come to place Granny in a facility that can give her more help than we are able to give. I have been visiting Memory Care centers and we should be ready to move forward next week. I pray for a smooth transition for all of us!

And then there is me. I am taking the Professional Engineers Exam tomorrow (10/20). This is my second try and I don’t feel prepared as I have been preoccupied lately. The test is 8 hours and will consume my day tomorrow. Staying calm but ready for it to be over.

And Aunt Jo and Paige are going through this with us so we could all use some good thoughts.

Many thanks for the prayers and love from my Hollydale family!

I received the message below from Tiffany Evans and ask you for urgent prayers for her health.  She has been through so much and is now in Cobb WellStar Hospital on oxygen due to Covid.  She needs her Hollydale family to pray for her big time!  Thank you. 

Hello Susan:

It has been a medical nightmare for me and at this point i need prayers.

No sooner that I got over the bone infection and all 5 surgeries on September 3, Elena was diagnosed with Covid pneumonia and it took less than 48 for me to catch it…needless to say, I have been hospitalized 2 times, once at Kennestone and now I’m at Cobb Wellstar on Oxygen because I passed out and not breathing Friday for over 3 min and received damage to my heart -(Ischemia) Covid induced and yesterday I passed out and transported to the hospital.

I’ve been fighting hard to feel alive but it is hard - with healing from surgery and this - please pray 🙏🏻 for me. Love 💕 you all

I know that my church family is a praying community and I am bringing to you a very special prayer request. I would like for you to say a prayer for Tommy Stephens. Tommy is a good friend. He is one who provides an uplifting message every morning reminding us to be thankful, be caring and to live life. When Mission Dawgs was first getting started, Tommy drove from Athens to the Varsity one Saturday morning to hang out with us and to be part of us. He said he also wanted to meet Famous Gene. Tommy was always reaching out to me during Gene's last few days. Well Tommy was t boned a few nights ago as he drove to work in Athens, Ga. He has some bleeding on the brain and other injuries. He has been on a ventilator and non responsive. The update last night was not good. The MRI had been postponed. The doctors tried to lower sedation but it didn't go well. He has significant swelling in his legs and knees. We are all so anxious for God to give healing and to have Tommy begin a recovery. Please pray for the doctors, nurses and hospital staff. I know that God is the great physician, the almighty healer and giver of miracles. I pray each day that Tommy is going to get better. Prayers for this sweet family.
