Please request prayers for Todd Allen, a Cursillista from 344 this past spring -
Todd is in the hospital in ICU on a ventilator. He was being treated for an open sore on his leg and the OTC pain meds he was taking caused him to have a bleeding ulcer -- he lost 2/3 of his blood supply before he became disoriented and was taken to the hospital. He has improved over the last 24 hours and they think he will continue to do well, God willing. Any and all prayers would be appreciated. He is at Metro in room 404.

11/27/11

I ask your prayers for some issues that are going on in my family. I ask you to pray that there will be forgiveness and unity. Thank you.

Mary Werry update

Hi everyone,

    Mary is out of surgery and the doctors were optimistic that the surgery went well.

There was a lot of stuff in her lung and they feel that they got most of the junk in her lung. She will be in the hospital for about a week. Praise God that she is better and the surgery went well.

 


 8-3-11
 Our brother in law, Kerry Liti Sr., is in desperate need of your prayers.
He has been plagued by one thing after another.  He recently had a
hernia operation and, as usual for him, it did not go well.  He was in pain for
too long of a time.  Today he got the news that his throat, that is so sore
that all he drinks is iced tea, is not just a sore throat, it is cancer. 
Throughout all of his trials, tribulations, pain and suffering he has not
lost faith, he has not cried out against the injustice of one person being
put through so much, and he has not asked, "Why me Lord?"
 
Kerry is a wonderful man, he is the husband you want your sister to marry,
a father that is an example for all men to follow. A friend in every good sense
of the world. And for us, we could not love him more if he were our flesh &
blood. 
 
So, please, please, raise Kerry Liti up in prayer.

From Jill Marker:

   As we all know by now, yesterday was an awful day for many families who lost loved ones in the mass murders in Grand Rapids. I graduated with the grandmother who came home and found the first three. Her name is Pat Merrigan Emkens. I ask for prayers for her, for what she is going through and will continue to go through. She needs strength and perseverance at this time of loss. Pat is a very sweet person who just lost her entire family in a senseless act. May she feel God's loving arms surround her with love.

Royal George passed away today. (Ken's brother-in-law) Complications due to sugar diabetes.

10-13-10 
My Mother, Helen Walkowski, was brought into the hospital because of a blockage in her heart.
While there, her kidneys started functioning abnormally.  They would not put a stent in her because they found the blockage is only 60% and the walls of her heart are very weak. After recovering from the catherization, she was in good spirits and was joking with the family and doctors, when she had a stroke  The stroke affected the left side of her body. 
 
I ask for prayers for her as she undergoes an EEG, ECHO cardiogram, MRI and a test for blood clots.  Whatever God wills, recovery or death, pray that she is without pain. Also, please pray for my Sister, Sylvia Liti and her Husband, Kerry.  They have been and are my Mother's care givers and they have given my Mother exceptional care for many,
many years, and are suffering severe emotional distress over this situation.
 
De Colores,
