Prayers for Some Special Ladies

"I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed." Psalm 57:1b

1. Yesterday, Kevin called me about 2:00 saying" mom just called and told me to get to Grandma Kitty's house, because they found her laying in the flower bed. Say a little prayer." Mrs. Kitty was outside messing with her flowers, turned to step out of the flower bed and fell on the driveway. Kevin's uncle had sent some guys to her house to drop off a truck. She called out to them, they didn't see her. By the time Kevin got there, she was already in the ambulance and on her way to the hospital in Aiken. Last night, after Kevin got off work we went to the hospital. (She had a cracked hip, they did surgery this morning at 10:30. They put some screws and a rod to put her back together. The surgery went well.) When we got there, they said that she was getting ready to be moved to a room and that we could just go to the room. However, that turned into a hour and a half of us waiting on her, but we didn't want to leave until we had seen her. She was in a lot of pain last night. So, hopefully, she will recover fast. Pray for her a fast recovery and thankfully she did lay there long before she got help.

2. My great aunt, Ann. Five years ago she was diagnosed with lymphoma and had surgery to have a mass removed from her stomach. Since then she has taken some mild treatments. Well, this summer, it's back, and it's not good. She has another mass in her stomach and it has gone into her esophagus. She is taking kemo this time and is in so much pain and is very sick. Pray that the kemo will work, some relief from the pain, and for God's will to be done. It's hard to watch someone lose the battle of cancer, but I think it's harder to watch them lose it in a lot of pain.

3. My aunt, Felicia. At Christmas, she found this lump in her throat. Found out it was a mass that was wrapped around her thyroid. In May, they took out the mass and her thyroid. Found out the mass was cancer. Her treatment process is nuclear radiation that she swallows. She has started to prepare for her treatments. She has two weeks to prepare were she has to be on this special diet-no salt, nothing from a can, frozen, prepackaged, nothing that is red, everything she eats has to be fresh. The week she has the actual treatment, she cannot be around anyone. From sweating, and the oils that come from your fingers, can greatly endanger anyone. The younger the person or animal, it could even kill. Pray that the treatment will kill any cancer cells that the surgery didn't get and that they won't find any other cancer cells, that it hasn't spread anywhere. Pray for her comfort and peace during this time.
