Debbie recently had a biopsy on a spot on the back of her calf, which was negative. She is asking for prayers that the wound on the site of the biopsy heals quickly without any infection. She also has a small ulcer on her foot that has not healed for 8 months. Although there has not been any sign of infection, both of these are of serious concern because of here diabetic condition. Debbie is very appreciative of all your prayers.

Jane wakes up every night with vertigo and heart palpitations. It can take up to an hour for this to stop and then get back to sleep. She is very grateful to God for getting her through the nights and would appreciate your prayers for God to intervene and end these episodes. Thank you in advance for your prayers.

Jim is asking for your prayers on behalf of the family of his daughter, Mallory. Her husband and three of their four children (ages 2 through 9) were at Annunciation Church and School in Minneapolis yesterday when the mass shooting incident happened. They were unharmed physically but they are emotionally distraught and grieving for their lost and injured classmates, friends and neighbors. Your prayers for God's comfort would be appreciated. Thank you.

David's friend continues to improve and is able to sleep most of the night, though he still has a persistent cough that limits basic activities. In addition to the diagnosis of pneumonia in one lung, his and his children's symptoms match Whooping Cough (also known as "Hundred Days' Cough"). The children seem to be weathering it, but your prayers are still appreciated for all.

David's friend is no longer dealing with the rash or muscle cramps. However, he still has coughing fits, some of them severe enough that if he does not get them under control, they will trigger a vomit reflex. Getting sleep continues to be a difficulty. Additionally, three of his children are sick with coughing and some fevers, though there is no indication of it affecting their lungs. Also concerning is the fact that they have no appetite and are eating almost nothing. Your continued prayers are appreciated.

David's friend finished the prescribed antibiotics on Monday. Even though he seems to be improving in some ways, he is still not well yet. He has been getting more sleep at night but it is still interrupted. He has developed a rash over much of his body (mostly on his legs). He also suffers from muscle cramps and has difficulty regulating his body temperature. Additionally, some of his children seem to be starting to get sick, though what they are dealing with might be unrelated. Thank you for your continued prayers.

Thom is out of surgery and back in the room. The surgeon just came in and everything went great. Very relieved to have this done because his gallbladder already had gangrene on it. He should be able to go home tomorrow. Many thanks to all for the prayers!

Please pray for Thom Mabry. He went to the hospital this Friday morning with a fever, chills, vomiting, and severe abdominal pain. After some tests, the hospital staff found that he had sepsis due to an unknown infection. He was stabilized and then transferred to Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst, North Carolina, where it was determined via an ultrasound that gallstones are the issue. He is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow. Please pray that all will go well and that he will recover quickly without complications.
On a positive note, Thom had an appointment with the concussion doctor this past Wednesday (related to the accident last year), and the doctor released Thom for work. He only needs to be released by the orthopedic surgeon to return to full work duty. Thank you for your prayers!

Jade is doing so much better and is continuing treatment at home. Although she still has a 5.1 cm clot in the top of her chest, she is not in as much pain. She has to have her iron levels checked every two days and will need prayers for some time. Jade is getting on with her life as well as she can, despite her difficulties. Thank you all for your prayers and love and concern for Jade.

Jade is in the hospital with a 5 cm blood clot at the site of the port in her neck. The clot has been cutting off blood to her brain. Doctors are working to get her body into a condition where she can receive blood thinners. Your urgent prayers are requested. Thank you in advance.
