Another, not happy update on LadyX From WVNan
FURTHER UPDATE: Just received a call from Steve. He pretty much repeated what Maggie's husband told me except that he has talked to the hospital since his Dad talked to them. They tell him they are pretty sure that it was a stroke. They have done a CAT scan this evening and will do the MRI tomorrow. They are treating her for stroke. Steve is at home and tired from his trip. Being in the medical field, he does not sound as hopeful as his Dad sounded. Let us pray that the indomitable spirit of our lady Marine prevails. God grant her strength and healing.

The Marines that were near him gave him a satellite phone and Father and Son were in contact. The Red Cross found him two hours later and started the process to get him home, in time for the viewing and burial. This is all less than 4 days time. We thank you all for you messages and prayers.

She's still in good spirits, and thanks all of you for the prayers and wonderful thoughts the last couple of months. Thank for for continuing to keep her in your prayers and in your hearts"

DLfromthedesert sends this update on her and her friend Tonie: Thank you as always. Prayers for all who need them. I wanted to give you an update. Talked to Tonie yesterday; she's able to walk much better. Thanks you all .... I go to the doctor on Tuesday; I hope to get my cast off; mobility in arm getting better each day.
Update on Muleteam1's mother: My sister remained at the hospital all night and all today while they gave my mom tests. The doctors now seem more concerned for her stomach pains than anything else and are treating her with, what sounds like, painkillers. They did find a "very large" polyp in her colon but they believe it is not the cause of her pain or most of the bleeding. Due to her age, they will not try to remove the polyp but will do a biopsy (if that makes sense?). They have my mom scheduled for a cat scan as soon as they can schedule her in so maybe we will know more tomorrow.

btw, I do not have any updates to report on Ada, I am sorry to say. I do know that if she made it a month (and she did), she will start needing surgical procedures on her heart (I am assuming) to keep it working until they can find a donor. Then we will have to pray for no infections, etc. I will make some phone calls this weekend to see if I can find out anything.
A friend of mine is dealing with a potentially threatening situation and would like to be lifted up in prayer.

Update: baby Kendall had open-heart surgery to correct what is known as PDA after birth. The surgery was scheduled for this past Tuesday and went forward on schedule. Due to some complications (heart spasms), they had to leave the chest "open"; they did not close the incision completely until yesterday. Obviously, infection is a big concern now and she is not completely out of the woods, so to speak. Thank you for all of your prayers and support
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1642425/posts
Prayers requested for my wife and I as we just learned my wife is pregnant...Prayers for a healthy pregnancy for mother and child and prayers for my wife, child and I to forever let Christ rule our hearts...
Prayers continue for baby Kendall!
Congratulations! I join with the others here praying for your wife, the little one and you!
Congratulations! And prayers!
Thanks to both of you...Godbless you and yours!
Update:
I'll be having surgery on June 28th on 2 different locations on my digestive tract. I'll be in the hospital for a minimum of 7 days. The additional testing I've undergone shows the initial surgery to correct the perforated ulcer was done incorrectly, part of the initial ulcer is still there and there is extensive scar tissue which shouldn't be there.
I have precancerous lesions in my esophagus which will not be cured by surgery so I'll have to be monitored every 3 months by having a camera inserted down my esophagus and stomach. They will remove 60% of my stomach which will leave me open to hypoglycemia. Also, I'll have a feeding tube inserted during surgery which will remain until my physician is satisfied my stomach is capable of handling regular food. The feeding tube is required as I'm already somewhat underweight and they feel I need additional nutrition. The feeding tube will remain in my stomach even after I'm released from the hospital.
My sister has undergone more testing and while a definitive diagnosis for ovarian cancer hasn't been made, she has been referred to an oncologist-gynecologist. She does undergo surgery on June 6th to remove a precancerous tumor in her breast. If I'm able to access my computer I'll keep everyone updated on my sister.
Thanks to everyone for keeping us in your prayers.
Many prayers your way.
I'm having a EGD done on Thursday myself...a situation not nearly so traumatic, but knowing well what a bad GI tract is like, you have many hugs from my way!
And more prayers for your sister.
Update: Baby Kendall is free of infection thus far and has come home with Mom, Dad, and big brother. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I will continue to pray for a long and happy life for Baby Kendall and family.
