Prayer request and a praise!

A friend of ours from High School, Angela, let us know tonight that her son Seth has been diagnosed with Crohns disease. He is only 12 and this is a lifelong disease. Seth is in a lot of pain right now and there isn't a lot that the doctors can do until more tests are done. Please pray for this family...that God will provide comfort and healing.

PRAISE!!!!! Andria's Mom is on her way home from Little Rock. Andria has spoken to her and says that she sounds like she is doing great! God is good!

Update on my mom

First, I would like to thank everyone who has been praying for my mom, Libby Gipson. This has been a tiring and stressful week at best, but I really appreciate those of you who have called and checked on my family and my mom. You are the best!!

Mom has had a pretty rough time. The pain was very bad for the first 24 hours. We are not sure that she was getting the full dose/benefit of her pain meds which made the first 24 hours pretty much unbearable for her. She was moved from ICU to an immediate care unit around noon on Thursday, and the doctor changed her pain medications which did help some. She had some heart issues during the night on Thursday, but everything turned out okay with that. At this point, she is just trying to sit up, walk, and begin eating again. All of these things cause pain, but she knows that she has to do them in order to get better so she has a good attitude about it. Dad is pretty worn out too but stays close. We do not know when she will be released. They are pretty much taking it one day at a time.

Just wanted to THANK YOU all again for the prayers!!

Pray for my mom...

Well, yesterday mom received the results from her biopsies, and unfortunately the results are not good. We do not know the prognosis, or the plan of treatment yet. Mom meets with her doctor this coming Thursday. When she received the results, her nurse asked if she could pray for her? She prayed for her right then on the phone. Keep her in your prayers in the days to come.

As far as Lizzie Kate is concerned...we are still in the waiting game to meet with a doctor from Children's. She is acting fine, but it may be what we cannot see where the problem lies.

Thank you for your prayers!

A Few Prayer Requests...

• Please keep Angel Ciesla and Family in your prayers. She has had another uncle pass away...her Uncle Charles. Please lift Angel and her Family up in your prayers.


• Continue to pray for Andria's mother Libby. She is still in a lot of pain. They are trying to find a medication that can help her with the pain she has.


• Prayer request for Scott and Allison Houston.
  Scott and Allison's niece Gracie is 9 and is in a drug induced coma.
  She had been sedated in order to control seizures. The doctors think there is swelling at the base of her brain caused by a virus. The doctors are trying now to get her to come out of sedation and so far are having no success. Her parents lost another child at age 2 with a similar situation. Please pray for the parents and family and especially Gracie.


• Continue to pray for each member of our Life Group and their families.


• Continue to pray for Lizzie Kate. We already know many of you have been praying...we have heard your well wishes, and felt your prayers already. Thanks so much!
• Also, continue to pray for my mom, Patsy Darr. She is awaiting her results from her biopsies.

God is good!

Please Keep Lizzie Kate in Your Prayers...

Please keep Lizzie Kate in your prayers. She has a skull fracture, early stages of pneumonia, and a Epidural Hematoma. I will not go into the details here, but you can read about it on my blog at UpwardPoint. Lizzie Kate will meet with a Neurosurgeon at Children's Hospital in the next few weeks. Pray that God guides these doctors in the right direction regarding Lizzie Kate's care. Pray that the Epidural Hematoma dissolves by itself.

Again, thank you for your prayers!

Pray for my Mom...

Please keep my mom, Patsy Darr, in your prayers. She went in today for a mammogram. They then gave her a biopsy based on what they saw from the mammogram. Mom was told they would have results probably by Thursday or Friday. Please pray that her anxieties be under control and that she receive a good reading from her biopsies.

Thanks,

Philip

Pray for Libby...

Please pray for Libby Gipson, Andria's Mom, she will be having a major surgery Wednesday, March 4th. It has not really been discussed much publicly as to what the surgery entails but basically, most of Libby's internal organs are in the wrong place. This is causing undue stress to her lungs, diaphram, and stomach. So, basically without getting into all the details, the doctors are going to put everything back where it is supposed to go. Please pray that God will guide the doctors hands and the surgery will go well.

Continue to pray for each other! I know there isn't a day that goes by that I can't use a little extra prayer from someone!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Mike
