You don’t know Ann. She is a neighbor and wife of a retired PCA minister. She is a subscriber to World and in our discussions, she said she often reads (Lurks to us) the blog, but has never posted. You don’t know her, but she knows you. Her operation is now.
Hi ladies,
You may already know this, but if not…Ted called this morning (Tuesday) to let us know that Ann’s hip surgery is scheduled for 10:45 AM (at Pardee). She’s been there since 7:45 AM. I’m sure she would appreciate our thoughts & prayers. Thanks.

update on new temp child. She is doing well. We are giving her lots of opportunity to practice controlling her anger. Most of the children have seen through her manipulation, we still have to protect the younger three. She hates me and wants desperately to be adopted by us. Not happening, she is already in an adoptive home. I am doing my part to make sure she prefers her adoptive mom to me.

Please remember in your prayers a young mom, R, who is struggling with cancer. She was diagnosed while pregnant (a tumor was discovered during a routine pregnancy ultrasound). She carried the pregnancy long enough to virtually ensure that the baby would not die of prematurity, about 30 weeks, I believe, then delivered her son by caesarean section and started cancer treatment. Baby is doing well and is a few (or several) months old now…I don’t remember for sure as this is a family that friends of mine know, but I myself do not…but R’s health is failing rapidly, and it appears she will be going home to the Lord very soon. R is very strong in her faith. Please pray for her husband and the son that she loves so much that she was willing to give him a chance at life, though it may cost her her own.

My prayer request seems so minor compared to some of the life and death issues I have prayed for here.
I have been taking a writing course with the Christian Writers Guild and recently completed it. Today I have gotten my first small assignment to do an article. I am excited but also anxious to do the best job I can. Please pray for me to be guided by God’s wisdom in the best use of my words.
Thank you so much for praying. This is really great to have a solemn portion of the blog designated for prayers so they are not falling into the other random postings. Blessings, Janice

Just got the news that a young friend, about fifteen, is about to be taken off of life support. She fell out of the back of a van and hit her head a few days ago. Her mom lives around here and when she came to visit over the summer, she was introduced here and the children took her to church with them. It is believed she is a believer.

Just got word today that the young lady in the Atlanta area who was in her 30’s and had battled cancer and then developed a bacterial infection and had to have her hands and feet amputated has died. She and her husband were attending my church for a short time before she became so sick. The tragedies seem so extreme lately. 😦 May God comfort those in need. There was another younger girl who was in the zip line accident and had an infection and had some amputations, too. This is not the same person.

This just came out from Jews for Jesus on the prior prayer request. 😦
“Dear praying friends of Jews for Jesus and the Moskowitz family,
Yesterday we wrote to tell you that our dear friend and brother Jhan took a fall that resulted in a severe brain injury. Over the course of the day his condition worsened and he was placed on life support.
We had hoped to report a miracle today but that has not been the case. As of early afternoon the doctors began the process of determining whether Jhan would be able to survive on his own. With no brain activity since yesterday afternoon, the result was a formal declaration of death. The medical explanation was herniation as a result of intracranial hemorrhage.
There will be a memorial service on Friday morning at 11:00 a.m.at Trinity Baptist Church, 250 E 61st Street in New York City. His body will be buried in Chicago on Sunday where there will be a private graveside service.
The family requests that you not call them directly. The many, many people who would want to condole with the family after the sudden shock of our brother’s homegoing would overwhelm them at this time. Please know your love and prayers are greatly needed and appreciated and we are working on a way for you to express those as we put together a website where you will be able to share your thoughts. The family will view them when they are ready and able to do so: j4j.co/jhantribute.
Thank you again, for your prayers. All who know Jhan are grateful for his life and testimony. His labor is over, but ours is not. We will do our best to honor Jhan, one of the founders of Jews for Jesus, by continuing to do what he loved to do: tell others about the Messiah and the hope of heaven that He made possible.
Your brother in Jesus,
David Brickner”

Janice, this brings back so many sad memories of losing a friend and a relative to brain death, one following a stroke, the other following an accident where he was deprived of oxygen for too long.

Thank you all for your prayers, I know they helped keep me calm while waiting to speak with the doctor.
It turns out that my heartbeat has gotten slower, so they adjusted my pacemaker to make the upper chamber and lower chamber beat closer together. Doctor said that it may make the shortness of breath slightly better or a lot worse, we’ll know in about a week. I’m trying not to jump to conclusions, but I feel better today than I have for a long time. I’m still going to take it easy for the next week, just to be sure.
