Extended Family Prayer concerns:
Nick Brumfield (brain tumor) Praise God! Joe Bright spoke with Joe Brumfield late this afternoon. The Brumfields met with the team of doctors today. Nick’s cancer is a mid-grade type, not slow nor fast growing, but it IS operable. They will be spending the next couple of weeks taking scans and mapping the brain so that the tumor can be pinpointed exactly. Once that is done a less-invasive type of procedure will be scheduled which will use ultrasonic waves to dissolve the tumor. Then a small instrument almost like a biopsy needle will be used to suction out the dissolved material.
Clayton Semans (cousin of Daryl) was in a serious accident Monday night. He got transferred to a hospital in Wilmington, DE. He has a compound fracture of the wrist and a broken neck. As of right now, there is no movement below the waist. He will be in surgery this morning. 6/25: Updated in clayton. He is on a flip table so they can drain fluid and get air unto his damaged lung. And he was wearing a seat belt. Still no feeling
Margaret Seiler (mother of Shirley Waddle) is in a body cast for a month. She has had hip replacement and her hip came out of place again (the 4th time). The surrounding tissue is too thin and the muscle is not holding as well as it should be. Hopefully, the body cast will keep her immobile and allow healing. Please remember Margaret in your prayers. Thank you.
Martha Smith (sister-in-law of Elois Tate) has breast cancer.
Sarah Cassell (sister of Paula Mashburn) is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.
Doris Semans (grandmother of Daryl) has diabetes and has been on dialysis. She now has been diagnosed with kidney cancer and has to have a kidney removed. Please pray for Doris.
My Great Aunt had a stroke today and this evening the doctors have called the family in to be with her, not sure if she will make it through the night. We are asking for prayers of her behalf- Thank you, Kim Pratt
Patsy Pipes (grandmother of Brenna Singleton) ongoing cancer treatments.
Vickie Patterson (daughter of Nita Shelton) has an operable mass.
Enid Brown (mother of Linda Hamm) is gradually improving after having reactions to meds that caused severe hallucinations! I am still here with her but will be home this weekend. New address: 496 Yucca Lane; Pratt, Kansas 67124. She still enjoys cards and letters. Thanks!
Jim Campbell’s mother Delores needs prayers. She is currently in rehab for nerve damage in her feet and legs from diabetes. She lives in Iowa.
Cpt. Shayne Brazelton (friend of Brandy Bailey) has been sent on his 4th tour in the Middle East.
Marilyne Benson, (neighbor to Bonnell’s) 9 year old granddaughter, Carina Benson, has just been diagnosed with Anaplastic T-cell Lymphoma following a short period of high fever. It was a complete shock to them. They have told her she will have chemo for a year and will probably lose her hair. Marilyne said that was the hardest thing for Carina to accept so far. Marilyne and Al are in Minneapolis with the children so her son and daughter -in -law, Kevin and Jill, can be at the hospital more. It’s terrible news and the fact that Marilyne and Al lost their own 21 year old daughter a few years ago doesn’t make this any easier. I’m asking if you have time, if you’ll send a card or two to Carina and/or the family. Below Marilyne mentions that little Carina is artsy, so I’m sure she would appreciate any card that comes. Any encouragement we can give the family will be important showing them that Christians care. They do not have a church home, although we talk about it a lot. This would help that situation, too, I think. Thanks for doing this if you can….Love, Margaret Bonnell
Virginia Freeman (friend of Wilford and Margaret Bonnell) reoccurring cancerous masses and is about to undergo chemo or surgery again. Her address: Mrs. Virginia Freeman Rt. 3, Box 5399 Doniphan , MO 63935 Thanks to all of you. My love, Margaret
Rebecca Middleton (mother of Dennis): terminal intestinal cancer.
