Prayer Requests

We have quite a few friends and co-workers that have a lot going on in their lives right now. We are praying for them daily, but if you all could say an extra prayer for them, that would be greatly appriciated.

* A friend of our, as well as a co-worker of Deron's has a 19 year old brother who had a stroke a few weeks back. He had a blood vessle burst in his brain which caused his whole left side to go numb. He fell into a wall at his house and laid there for 2-3 hours since he was home alone. When they went to the hospital things weren't looking too good. He had lots of trauma to his brain and he was paralyzed. Currently, he is able to move a little. He is in physical therapy at LLU and is getting a little better each day. Please keep him in your prayers. He is a wonderful young man and has a wonderfully dedicated family that we've known for a very long time.

*A co-worker of mine has recently had to put his wife in the hospital for heart problems. She had cardiac arrest while on a walk with a friend. She had vomited and breathed it back into her lungs, which can cause pneumonia. She was taken to the hospital and in the ambulance, she was revived twice. After a few days, the doctors had found some swelling on the brain and is in a comma. Since this discovery, she has also sad convulsive seizures. As of Thursday, she has been taken off sedation, and she has been showing signs of response, like squeezing hands. The circumstances are unclear, and the family still has a lot to go through. This family are very strong believers and know that everything is in God's hands. Please keep them in your prayers.
