Please pray for my Dad, Jim Lukenbill as he found out he has an aortic anneurism(sp). This is very serious and involves opening the chest. He will be in the hospital for a week, rehab for two and then my house for 4-5 weeks. They haven't set the date yet but it should be soon. Please pray that he will get thru the surgery ok and heal and be healthy. Thank you all.

Posting for Pam:
Annabelle's appt with her ENT went well....He was able to remove the ear tubes that had fallen into the ear canal and both ears look really good! He is still concerned with the size of her tonsils, they almost touch.....he says he doesn't do surgery before age 3 (she will be 3 on July 2nd.) So, they are going to keep an eye on her sleeping (she snores BAD and occasionally has very short interruptions in her breathing) and they will probably take her tonsils out over the summer....lots going on with her and Elisabeth.

Thanx for your prayers....

Much love and blessings,
Pam

Update for Shauna Foltz....please keep her in your prayers!!!

hey all-

lots of people asking. here's what i know so far. have had a PET scan, brain MRI and a spinal MRI plus 2 visits with the radidation oncologist and 1 visit w/the medical oncologist (chemo dr) this week. both drs are classifying my disease at this point as stable. that means some tumors have stayed the same, some have shrunk, and some have grown. most of the brain tumors have stayed the same or shrunk. 3 have grown, but they have already been treated previously with radiation so we will leave them alone for now.

all of the body tumors have stayed the same or shrunk, except there is a new one (8mm) in the left lung. we are also leaving that one alone.

the priority treatment is for 2 new tumors that were found on the spinal cord at lumbar vertebrae 1 and 2,3. this is probably causing the decreased function of my right leg. i had a "mapping" CT scan (for radiation treatment) today and discussed with radiation dr what he would like to do. i think we will be doing many (15 or so?) low dose treatments on them to avoid more damage to the spinal cord.

swelling in the brain looks about the same as on the last scans but i have had increased headaches so (at the urging of the medical oncologist) i will be increasing my prednisone(steroid) from 25mg/day to 60mg/day. pray for my sleep and my sanity!

i think this is all the info i have for today. i am weary (so is ed) from days at the hospital and taking in all the news. love you all. have a blessed week. shauna

Prayer request for Table Talk Ministries.....

hello all!! Most of you probably do not know, but a house w/outbuildings has recently been donated to Table Talk. After a lot of searching, Bill and I have decided it makes sense to have this home be the primary location for the ministry. (As of now, we have the donations stored in 3 different places!) In doing this, we would be able to have everything together: home/office/donations/place for Bill to build/fix things. Unfortunately, the home is not in a livable condition. It is going to take approximately $15,000.00 in order for Bill to make it livable. We do not have that kind of resources, so we are going to try to get a loan....credit isn't too great! So, in saying all of that....please be in prayer for the Lord to open doors and provide what is needed. Bill is going to talk to someone on Friday the 21st if he gets in from the road in time....if not, he is going to on Monday, the 24th. If you haven't heard of us, please check us out at: www.tabletalkministries.org Thank you all so very much for your prayer support....it is vital and very much appreciated! Pam and Bill Hutson

Please pray for Brandi Holtze as she broke her leg and needed surgery....

Jeff & Michelle Kiger 723 days ago

Please add Marlene Straziscar to the prayer list.  She lives in Colorado, and Sean has recently spent a week there after she had surgery from the spread of her cancer.  She is currently supposed to be receiving chemotherapy, even though her body is still weak from surgery.  Please also keep Sean, Kristy, Tari, Tatum and Trae in your prayers.  The seem to be very close to their mother/grandmother and this is difficult for them.  I know Kristy's mom has been to church with her during one of her visits, but I don't think we've met Sean's mother.  The family would really appreciate our support. 
 
Also, please add Darlene Wilford to the prayer list....she has had some major health complications over the past 6 months.  Her son asked for prayer on Sunday....(asked Michelle to send a card from BCC)
 
Tod asked for prayer for his mom (Carrie Grissom) Sunday during children's church.  He said that he found her on the bathroom floor and apparently she was having a gall bladder attack.  I believe she was supposed to have surgery this week (Tues or Wed). Hope she's doing well! 
 
These are from Darcie...she wrote them down from church on Sunday 5/23:
I believe that Rita Howe had her knee replacement surgery.  I would like to take a meal to her--please let me know if you guys have heard anything....thanks!
 
OH, and someone told me that Brandy Holtze fell and broke her leg--OUCH!  Any updates on her?
 
Please pray for our graduates that they continue to follow the Lord and ask for His guidance in their life....and of course with the upcoming Memorial Day holiday we must remember those who have fallen for our country, the police, fire and medical personnel as well.

We just returned home from an Amish auction in Parke County. A 6 year old boy named Dakota Vance was kicked/trampled by a horse and was lifelined to the hospital. His family is from Parke Co (they are not Amish). I am just so very sad for his family.....it was very, very scary and I can only imagine how worried his family must be, especially when he had to leave in the helicopter without them......
 
Thank you for your prayers......Michelle
