Prayer Requests

The past couple weeks have been difficult emotionally for my parents. A couple of their siblings are having major health issues that we need to bring before our God in incessory prayer.

Darlene Mauss is my dad's sister. She turned 80 in November. Shortly thereafter, she fell and broke her hip. She has been through surgery for a hip replacement but it is not taking. The doctors have determined that previous radiation for tumors/cancer in that area has prevented the area from healing. In addition they have found new tumors in the area. The doctors have decided it would be best to allow the area to heal itself. So she is in a nursing home while she heals.

Don Mills is my mother's only sibling. He has multiple health issues that includes Kidney transplant, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, and Hardening of the Arteries. Yesterday, my Uncle Don fell and broke both of his legs real bad. He will be in a cast from the waist down on both legs. The legs really need pins, screws, and plates, but they cannot do this because of his other health issues. He also needs to be put on blood thinners and have a filter, but they cannot do this because the thinners will react with his other medication and the filter goes where his transplant incisions were. Because of the many health issues he has he must go to the nursing home as there is no way they can take care of him. This will not be easy because of all his health issues – nursing homes don’t want that many problems to deal with.

The family requests that we put them on any prayer lists that we have. They desire our prayers as they know that only God can provide the healing and peace we need.
