Prayer Request

From Debbie Keller:

My husband is scheduled for by-pass surgery on Oct 1st at 7:30 a.m. at Medical City, Dallas.  He had a triple by-pass surgery 20 years ago when was 38 after having a heart attack.  He has had numerous stints and had a 2nd heart attack about 6 1/2 years ago.  He now only has one artery that is working as the other 2 by-passes have closed up.  Dr. Brinkman(his surgeon) thinks he can at least make 1 more by-pass but there is a risk that the one that is working could colaspe when they open him up. 

I am asking for prayer for David that he will make it through surgery and the surgery will be able to help him as he is getting very little blood flow to his heart right now.  Most of you probably don't know me or my husband.  Shortly after I joined, my husband started becoming ill.  We first just thought it was his heart.  In Feb of this year he was scheduled for this same surgery.  The day before we fould out he had follicular lymphoma, almost a level 4.  He then went through chemotherapy and was said to be in remission. Then they discovered his cortoid artery was blocked 81-99% so he had that surgery about 1 month ago and just recovered.  Now he is rescheduled for the original surgery from Feb.  We usually will attend chuch but he normally does not feel well enough to attend Sunday School and Church.  Hopefully in the future I will be able to attend Sunday School again.

Sydney Walker (daughter of Seth and Mallory Cunningham Walker, granddaughter of Mark and Carolyn Cunningham) is 7 months old and diagnosed last week with Transverse Myelitis which is a severe inflammation of the spinal cord.  She is in Children's Medical Center undergoing treatment and they are seeing slow progress.  She is currently on a ventilator but they are working to wean her off of it.  They expect recovery to be extended and involve rehab.  Please pray for them all.  It is exhausting and expensive to have a child hospitalized out of town.  You can visit   http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/sydneywalker  to see updates and post a message to the family which they will appreciate.

First Baptist Church Paris interim music minister and his wife were in a bad accident Sunday going back to McKinney where they live. He had just had the responsibility of administration added to his position and looked promising to really be a greater asset to the church. He will now be out for up to 12 weeks. He has broken ribs, broken leg, orbital injury. She has internal injuries. Has had two surgeries already for removal of part of intestines and received a colostomy (I think maybe a temporary one).  We thought at first he was worse off because he had a head injury, but it turned out to be a concussion and not a worse brain injury. But now it looks like she may be worse off because of the poisons running around in her abdomen. They are Bill and Shasta Clairborne. Please add them to your prayer list.

Prayer Request

Please pray for Ronald Hayes. He is going into surgery right now to remove his gallbladder.  Please pray for Ronald, the surgical team, as well as Kay and the rest of his family.

Prayer Request

Please pray for Molly Bryans (age 5), Casey and Renae's daughter, Robert and Carol's granddaughter. Sunday she started having tremendous pains in her legs and hips and could not walk. They have x-rayed and sonogrammed the bones and muscles, which look fine, and now have drawn blood to see if there could be an infection somewhere.  Molly and her family are missionaries in Quito, Ecuador.
