Special Prayer Request

I recieved this email from Sarah this morning....

When you get this email, please pray immediately for my niece’s half-sister, Erin. I know many of you have been praying for her already. She is the 14 year old girl that has been in ICU at Holston Valley.

Kevin’s mom just talked to Morgan (our niece) and she said one of Erin’s lungs had collapsed this morning and they had to put in a chest tube. They are taking her for emergency surgery and then flying her to Vanderbilt if she is stable enough. The plane is already on the way. None of the family will get to fly with her but her parents, grandmother and Morgan will be driving.

I know this family will appreciate your prayers.

On another note, my cousin’s 8 month old son, Asher, is doing a little better. They were able to take him off of the ventilator this morning. Keep praying for him too.

Special Prayer Request

I recieved this email from Sarah Murdock this morning...Please remember this family in your prayers.....

"Mother, Katie, is my cousin. Please pray for Asher.
Sarah



Hi Everyone--

Please remember my nephew Asher (8 months old) and his parents Katie and Dusty in your prayers over the next few days.

Asher has developed a severe infection in his lungs and is on a ventilator at Holston Valley Hospital in the Pediatric ICU. The doctors have advised us that the next 24 hours are very critical for him. He had a broncoscopy today, which was a procedure to try to clear out some of the congestion from his lungs. He is sedated as they try to keep all his vital signs under control. He had a very stressful time tonight with from about 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., as his vital signs were in serious condition--extremely high heart rate and respirations.

At this point, the doctors have advised it will be 24-48 hours until they know exactly what type of infection he has. Until then, they are trying to keep his breathing under control and have him on a broad spectrum antibiotic and sedation medications.

I'll send an update as soon as I have more information.

Lots of prayers please!!

Suzanne"

A Couple of Special Prayer Requests

Jennifer sent this prayer request to me...it was sent to her by one of her good friends....

"My cousins 2 year little boy was diagnosed yesterday with a brain tumor. His name is Keegan Callaway. His Mom is Brittany Callaway. Brittany and Keegan are flying to Memphis TN today. He will have a biopsy on Friday and possibly surgery on Friday. They said the tumor is a very large, fast growing and that it covers most of his cerebellum. The cerebellum controls yours balance and sight. They believe that by the size and because of the fast growth that it is malignant cancer. He will likely have to have chemo treatments. They also said that he will likely have lasting effects in his eyes and his stance from the tumor. He began having trouble on Monday with balance and couldn't walk on Tuesday. Those were the first signs of any trouble. Please pray for complete healing for this little fellow and strength for his young Mommy. His Mommy also has a 4 week old little boy who was born 5 weeks early and spent 2 weeks in the NICU unit in JMH. Keegan spent the first week of 2008 in JMH with pneumonia"

This one is from Tanja Moody...
"Danny Duncan's 91-year-old grandmother, Ruby Frye, fell last night and broke her hip. She’s at Holston and will likely undergo surgery. This is going to be a tough day for the whole family, especially Taylor and Tyler"

Also remember Daniel and Tina this morning as Bryson is having surgery..He is having his tonsils and adenoids removed....

Please remember all of these families in your prayers this week...God Bless...
