Updates on Earlier Prayer Requests

While tossing aside my silly fears over my upcoming eye angiogram and its possible results, I thought I'd update you on folks who have needed your prayers fairly recently.

Friend with multiple cancers: this gal is somehow managing to get through this. She finally had the last radiation on her brain, has a few more on her tummy then a cat scan on both. She has another chemo coming up within the next week or so. The doctor said it may take several months to start regaining strength because both radiation and chemo are affecting it as well as being tired all the time. It's a long journey but she is determined to make it. Determination aside, I'm trying to make sure she also has lots of hugs and love and prayers to ease the journey!

Friend beginning dialysis: this gal's home finally qualified for in-home dialysis equipment setup and she has begun those 4 hour sessions. She is finding the "waiting and sitting" during the treatments to be her biggest hurdle at the moment. She and her hubby are always active, especially outside in what they lovingly call a garden and I insist must be a farm. Normally she'd spend downtime by making hats for our group on her "knitting loom" but I don't think she can do it during the treatments. She, too, needs hugs and love and prayers to ease the way.

Brother's cancer issues: my brother just had a checkup after that kidney cancer surgery and those prostate radiation treatments. His doc says so far, so good, and wants to see him again in six months. He's optimistic, as am I and his wife.

Sweet Lord Jesus, for the continued forward progress, no matter how slow, for these folks, I thank you for all your help. Please bless abundantly all those praying for these folks. And please continue to bless and heal and comfort and strengthen these people who need your help so much. We trust in you.
