I just wanted to update the post from August 13th regarding my children's former taekwondo teacher, Dave, and covid-19. After two rounds on breathing support and being in the ICU, he is now home with his family. I know he has a long road of recovery ahead of him but prayers for him surviving covid-19 and getting to go home have been answered.

My 94 yr old mother-in-law broke her fibula Saturday. She had surgery to repair on Tuesday. She had a bad case of shingles in May that has developed into PHN- severe random pain episodes along that site on her face and neck.

Is supposed to be discharged from Methodist West tomorrow to rehab floor at Kennybrook in Grimes. Of course no one can go to see her there because of the Covid shutdown.

Prayers for her and the staff there for their efforts to help her and that her PHN pain and leg pain to end.

Thank you so much

I would like to ask my Christian brothers and sisters to join me in praying for a family (Jason and Heather and their children Noah and Maddie) in light of Heather\\\'s recent breast and lymph node cancer diagnosis. Jason is a former co-worker of mine and a friend. Let us join together to lift up Heather, asking for God\\\'s intervention to bring about healing. Let us also ask God to strengthen and be with Jason as his role caring for Noah and Maddie is stressed. Lastly, let us ask God to comfort Noah and Maddie (both elementary age) during this difficult to understand time. May they all feel God\\\'s love and compassion through the voices of us, the church, as we offer our prayers in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you all!

I had previously asked for prayers for three Laurel Village children -Harry, Carry & Say Loo Wah. Please continue to pray for them as the dad has since moved the family back to Omaha. I am not sure if prayers have been answered as he now might be closer to family to help with the children? Or are the kids more on their own than they were here. I did learn from Moulton School that Dad has requested information be sent to a school in Omaha, so the two boys have been enrolled in school, but please pray that Dad will make sure they get there everyday? Please also pray for little Say Loo Wah as I am not sure if/how Dad will get her enrolled in a preschool mid-year. All of the children are so far behind in school.

I graciously ask for prayer support for my wonderful, Christian mom, Lunda Weaver, who recently lost her Christian husband, Richard Weaver, who was also my beloved stepfather. He went to be with the Lord after complications from S.M.A.R.T. syndrome and related difficulties over several years. My mom is strong, but she is grieving and could use prayers from the greater Christian family asking for God's continuing strength and support. Much appreciated!

Please pray for my cousin's family who lost their 20-year old granddaughter in a car accident on New Year's Eve. She was a very courageous young lady who had turned her life around after difficulties in her early teens. Pray that God gives them comfort and understanding as they struggle to understand His plan for us.

Also, pray for my 88-year old aunt who recently suffered a bad fall. She is one tough lady who now has a very impressive pair of "shiners" -- she will be going through physical therapy and hopefully home thereafter

We\\\'ve had a crazy few weeks!

My mom is in Iowa City this morning, the 3rd, for a procedure on her kidney. Then tomorrow, the 4th, she will be having surgery on her leg. This will be the third surgery she\\\'s had on her leg since April, when she fell and shattered her femur.

Also, yesterday the 2nd, my husband\\\'s Grandmother fell at her church in Dallas, Texas. She broke her hip in multiple spots. My Father in Law, Chuck, left town right away to drive down and set up a plan for what to do because she\\\'s almost 102 years old.

I work at a daycare center and one of our families lost the sad last week, he was only 40. He left behind a wife and two young boys.

Just prayers for everyone please!

Prayer update for my brother Michael who has been awaiting a liver transplant as a result of sclerosing cholangitis. He has been notified to be at the hospital in Dallas at 3 am Friday morning. We had a "false alarm" just before Thanksgiving, so this call may also ultimately not result in an immediate transplant. Even if not tomorrow, though, a transplant seems imminent, and we give thanks for the answered prayers that he stay healthy enough to remain on the transplant list.

Please pray for my brother, the doctors who will perform this procedure if it does occur, for our acceptance of whatever the outcome, and for the family of the donor who are/will be grieving a loss of life to make this possible.
