Josie Johnson, Linda Brocato's mom
01/05/07 21:29
Dear
Friends, please continue to pray for my mom, Josie
Johnson. She has been back in the hospital since
Friday (She was in UAB for 5 days in mid-December).
She has shingles, along with confusion, walking
difficulties and pain. They also found some abnormal
activity in the brain waves on her EEG - I still
don't quite understand what that means, because I
haven't had a chance to talk to the Neurologist yet.
These things, combined with Multiple Sclerosis and
Trigeminal Neuralgia have really taken a toll on her
weak body. She will be going to rehab in the next few
days. We're not sure what we are facing after that -
her weakness along with the fact that she had
starting getting her medications confused just before
she went into the hospital, make us think that she
may have to be placed at an assisted living place of
some sort. Please pray for strength and healing for
her, and wisdom for her doctors. Also, pray for my
brother and I as we try to make these difficult
decisions.
I love you. Linda
I love you. Linda

I have a
friend I consider dear who was in a college and
career class I taught in Russellville. Kristi and her
husband, Michael Rains, just got to Peru to work as
missionaries, and they got this news. Please lift
them up in prayer. Here is a part of their email.

Now we are dealing with a personal issue that we ask prayer for. We went to our 12th week check-up yesterday for Kristi’s pregnancy. To our dismay, the doctor was not able to find a heartbeat. He did an ultrasound and found out that the baby has been that way for around 4 weeks now. So right after our last ultrasound, which was normal, we lost our baby. We do not know why God allowed this to happen but He sees the whole picture and we trust Him even more. We pray that God will use this situation to reach someone else through our ministry. Pray for us tomorrow (Friday) at 11:00am EST as Kristi has a DNC done and her recovery from this surgery. The doctor said she should be back to normal by Monday. Pray for all of our adjustments to this situation.

Please
pray for my mother, Frances Watford. After showing
signs of Alzheimer’s, she was put on medication and
began to improve. About a week ago, she fell and hurt
her arm, but refused to go with the EMT's to the
hospital. She thought the pain would go away in a few
days. It didn’t. My older sister went to see them,
and managed to get mom in to see her doctor. She had
a dislocated and fractured shoulder. It had been
dislocated so long, now it doesn’t want to stay in.
She was put in some kind of a wrap to hold it in. She
has been in pain all this time, and now, the
Alzheimer’s is back to square one. Daddy hates
doctors, so he has become a bit of a problem. He is
concerned about mother, but doesn’t realize he is
getting in the way. Mom is on pain meds now, unless
daddy says she can’t take them anymore. Both of my
sisters and I need grace and wisdom to know how to
minister to them. I have talked with my parents about
salvation before, but I do not know if they ever made
a decision to trust Christ.
In His grace, Vic Watford

Please
pray for David Peoples. He went on his Emmaus Walk in
May, 2006, is a member of Killen UMC and is the
principal of Anderson School. He has had what sounds
like a stroke and has been airlifted to Huntsville
Hospital. They were on the way to Huntsville with him
by ambulance and then they stopped to take him by
helicopter at Clements school. I'll send another
email as soon as I hear anymore information.

Please
pray for Bro. Carl Long. The results
from his prostate biopsy showed a malignancy.
The doctor rated it as a 7 on a scale of 1-10, with
10 being the most severe. He gave him 2
choices: radiation therapy or radical surgery
to remove the prostate and surrounding tissue.
The doctor recommended the radiation therapy to begin
with. He has an appt. with a specialist on
Friday at 10:30. Please keep Bro. Carl and
Anita in your prayers. If you'd like to send a
note of encouragement, their address is: 530
Beulah Cut Off Road, Boaz, AL

Thanks!
