of this family.
"Amy is my 38 year old neighbor living in
Hendersonville, TN who was severely hurt and
paralyzed 3 1/2 years ago as she protected
her two boys from a tornado that destroyed their
home. Her family was later built a new home by
"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." She has had
numerous serious health situations since then,
and is now in ICU with a severe colon blockage
that has released poison into her body, and
caused her extreme pain and very low blood
pressure. She is dehydrated and incoherent. On
top of this, she was sick
yesterday,
but the vomit went into her lungs. They can only
try to treat it with antibiotics. The family has
been called in from Illinois, and the doctor has
tried to prepare her husband, Jerrod, for the
worst. Her two boys are now 9 and 7 years old.
Please pass this request on to others. This is
an urgent need that only prayer can resolve."

He is currently on a machine that is

for another 7-10 days >
before he starts trying to breath on
his own again. Also, his kidneys have had no change in the last 2-3 days

Thank you so much for praying for
little Caleb!
I just received word from his mom, Jennifer, that they have had to put
him on a different respirator and that they are looking at putting him
on dialysis since his kidneys aren’t functioning properly. He is still
not out of the woods. Things start looking up and then they take a turn
for the worst.
We are still believing and agreeing with every believer that God is
going to bring him through this as a testimony of God’s greatness and
love. Please continue to keep Caleb in your prayers. Also, send this
request on to as many people as you know will earnestly pray for him.
We don’t need to
let up now. Ask your church to have a special united prayer for him
during the next service. We need all the prayers and faith we can get at
this point.

I had attended sunrise service and the Easter service here in the Chapel
yesterday. I plan to go home next xxxxx. My plans as of now are to go
home every other xxxxxxxx. About Gene, he is slowly improving. Last
Tuesday the neurologist said when he began coming out of it (?), he
would be like a guppy, making jerky movements with his shoulders, arms,
legs, etc. This morning he jerked first his right shoulder and then his
left. A very good sign. He is breathing more on his own, two times a day
for up to 4 hours and is put in a sitting up position in the bed part of
the time. That wears him out. Slow but sure. Thanks for all the cards
and prayers. He can't have flowers, but Cathy, my daughter, brought him
some beautiful tulips that we sat out on the nurses desk. Love to all,

responsive each day. He was watching the Worship Channel on TV with all
the inspirational music and
beautiful scenery. He nodded two or three times for me to see something,
a dog once, a beautiful stream through the fall scenery. He is
frustrated about not be able to talk because of the trach in his throat.
They did another CT scan this morning and are going to insert another
tube this afternoon on the left side of his chest to remove air that
seem to be keeping the lung from expanding as it should. Thanks for all

well enough and strong enough to completely breathe on his own. Dr. L.

Vanderbilt was able to find an antibiotic
that his body would respond to, so the swelling went down a lot. They
took another Cat-scan and it showed up completely clear. They do not see
anything that would cause this infection, such as a tumor, stones, mucus

That is good news! At least there is nothing behind the infection that
has to be dealt with. We are standing on the faith that this is the
first signs of his saliva glands coming back!
The swelling is now almost completely down, and David's face is a little

Last weekend was a little rough. David
didn't feel really well all weekend. On Monday we noticed that his face
was beginning to swell slightly. Yesterday, David left work early
because he wasn't feeling good. Between 4pm and 7pm, David was
experiencing a very bad pain in his face, the left side especially, and
had taken 3 pain pills during that 3 hour span. By 715, he was in such
horrible pain and his face has swollen so badly, that his doctor advised
us to take him to the ER. It took 40 c'c's of morphine to alleviate the
pain and they tried to do a cat scan to determine the reason. There was
a lot of swelling in his face and they were unable to determine through
the swelling, the reason why. >>>>>>>>
The doctors
believed there was an infection coming from his saliva glands for some
reason which was causing the swelling. The were still unsure of the
reason behind the infection due to the catscan results. They gave him an
antibiotic through an IV and set him home with more antibiotics and told
him to come back in a few days when the swelling was down so that they
could run another catscan to see the problem behind the infection.
Around 1am this morning, David was sent home from the Summit Hospital
ER.
He went to his regularly scheduled checkup with his oncologist this
morning and she seemed very worried about the swelling which was getting
worse, and not getting better. She immediately sent him to the
Ear/Nose/Throat doctor, who had originally diagnosed him. >>
The doctor is
very concerned with the fact that his swelling is increasing and that it
is now spreading down his neck. Currently he is at Vanderbilt in the
examination room of his doctor, but we just received word that he is
going to be admitted at least for over night so they can watch him
continually. They are running tests and they did a culture. I know very
little details, but I wanted to give everyone an update because it has

to get this under control.

The new year brings whispers of a

We had to take David to the emergency room on Christmas Eve because he
had ran a fever for about 3 days and it was up to 102. They were unable
to find a reason behind the fever, gave him antibiotics and sent us
home.
Tylenol and antibiotics have kept his fever low. Today he has a fever of
99, and they cannot figure out why.
Christmas Day, David was able to have a few bites of mashed potatoes and
he usually is able to get down a couple bites of yogurt. The biggest
problem we are facing, health wise, is David's saliva glands. I am
asking everyone to specifically petition the throne of God this week, to
heal David's saliva glands. Jesus said in Matthew 18:19-20
"Again I say to you that if two of you
agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for

1982. Since then, they have worked tirelessly and have been faithful in
our Ministry. He is respected as one of the Ministry Elders. Recently,
he started constructing a new church building which is not complete but
roofed. The fruits of his diligence have been seen.
Rev Alfred didn't show any
kind of illness till recently when he fell sick and admitted to Webuye
District Hospital then referred to Eldoret Moi Referral
Hospital. He was diagnosed with stroke on the left side that affected
the brain too. This is a very short illness witnessed. He has rested

started.
Rev Alfred Adolwa has left behind his wife Salome and Son, Abraham who
has just completed the 12th grade. We request for your
prayers since we have to transport the body from Eldoret mortuary, 150

I went to visit my Uncle
Wilford today. His color was worse. He has lost more weight.
He still can't eat, though he tries.
He spirits are good.
He told my cousin and I, "I will be 'OK,'" and gave us a wink. We
couldn't tell if he was comforting us or himself.
Aunt Lil, as I said
before, has strong faith. She is still waiting on the miracle that
he will be completely healed from this cancer. She asked if I was
still updating you for prayers. I told her, with a smile, "Yes I
am, --and they are all praying." She responded while looking to
the heavens, "Lord continue to bless those dear people. I know we
will get our miracle."
Thank you.
Please continue to pray for him.
