----------------------------------------------------------
Gerald Hager, my brother-in-law, and a faithful online attender for almost 2 years now - his young pasto'r son passed 3 years ago from ALS.
Now Gerald has been diagnosed with the same disease. My sister has had to fight for his health treatment for several months and we feel the doctors put him on the back burner because of his age, 78 yrs .
He is declining very fast, and desperately needs a g-tube for nourishment. The dr said it would be several weeks before they could do it. But God brought the eye of a surgery scheduler to his chart, and now he is scheduled or surgery for tomorrow!
However it will be a life or death chance, because he has a thickening in his carotid artery which is right next to where they need to insert the g-tube.
So please fall to your knees at 10:45 am on Wednesday *(11/17) for him.
God somehow found this opening for the surgery when everyone said no way. So I have to believe He will make it all work out.
Thank you.

My husband and I are requesting prayer for our son Colin and prayer about help with him. He has Autism, OCD, and anxiety. He has severe OCD and it seems to have escalated over the last year.
It is very difficult for him to control his reaction to not being allowed to give into his OCD regarding drinking fluids and eating. He will sometimes act out in anger by swiping/slapping us.
It’s difficult trying to reason with an adult that intellectually can’t understand. We are trying to get approved for state funded services that you can’t privately pay for.
Please be in prayer that we get approved so Colin can get the help he needs and so can we.
He’s 27 but can’t be left alone, he requires assistance with all personal hygiene, meal preps, medication, activities, etc. We have been on a waiting list for years to get services to help Colin and are praying we can be approved. Thank you

Pray for the Bhoi of India
Bhoi of India
POPULATION: 292,000
RELIGION: HINDUISM
Pray for the Bhoi peoples of India. They live along the Konkan coast. Bordered by the Arabian sea, the state of Maharastra in India is one of the most populous areas of the world. It is divided into 5 geographic regions with the Konkan being the western coastal region.
The Bhoi claim to be Hindu, but many hold fast to their animistic roots. In fact, most of their Hindu and animistic practices have been so intertwined that it is difficult to separate them. Ancestor worship (worshiping the spirits of deceased relatives) is also quite popular.
Pray for the salvation of this precious people group, as we trust God to bring believers across their path - to develop relationships and trust, so that they can share the Good News of Jesus Christ!

MRI on brain came back clear, and they pulled fluid from brain today to verify no leukemia in the brain. He will have a chemo brain wash tomorrow to be safe regardless of results. they will continue regimen at UNC until modified cells are ready. Blasts have lowered but not significantly
Update to AJ prayer request11/1:
AJ completed his first round of chemo for this cycle today. He went back for a MRI on the brain to verify no mass since he's been experiencing some change in vision/started seeing black specs. They will do a specific treatment to clean any leukemia cells trying to get to his brain Monday or Tuesday. Still no appetite and in a lot of pain but that should change in the next few days!
This is an 11 day chemo treatment and by then his genetically modified cells should be ready for him at UNC

They are actively trying to get with UNC to see if the Car T cells are available or if we need to start treatment during the wait period but AJ is in desperate need for something to lower his blasts. He is in a lot of pain due to the leukemia cells taking over and they plan to start steroids and chemo drips today to start getting it under control while they create a plan. if Car T cells are available and ready we will be transferred to UNC today or tomorrow, if they are not available he will either start another course of treatment in Greenville or still be transferred to UNC to do the same treatment there. He no longer has a fever and is still experiencing some nausea and vomiting.

I am at the hospital now waiting for William to be discharged. Continue to pray as he recuperates at home.
Update 10/29/2021 William was supposed to come home today but I don't believe he will. He said they have him back on 2 liters of oxygen and said his lungs were diminished. He wasn't getting enough oxygen deep enough in his lungs. They have him on 2 different types of insulin right now since he is a diabetic and they have him on steroids.
He sounds good and eating well. He is just on oxygen via nasal canula, NO ventilator. Please continue to pray for his healing.
UPDATE (10/26/21): William was admitted to Nash UNC Healthcare room 224 last night with pneumonia and a small blood clot in his left lung. They are giving him blood thinners and he is a diabetic.

Teddy continued to get worse and was not drinking water nor eating food. He was euthanized this morning, Monday, November 8th at Riverside Vet.
Pray for me as I adjust to life without him.
***************************************************
UPDATE (10/29/21):
Teddy has begun to eat some food. He has recovered from pneumonia so that's a huge praise! The vet says Teddy will fully recover and will gain weight. Pray for his hair to grow back and for his full recovery.
UPDATE on TEDDY THE CAT: (10/26/21):
He has taken a turn for the worse. Took him to Riverside Vet Monday, October 25th. Several tests were done and Teddy is anemic and has pneumonia. Doctor gave him fluids, antibiotics and medications. Doctor said it takes 48 hrs for the medications to work which is through Wednesday the 27th.
He is so sick today, the 26th. He is not eating food nor drinking water. He is having difficulty breathing. It breaks my heart. Pray for God's will. May God give me peace in my decision if Teddy does not get better as I may need to have the doctor end Teddy's life.
----------------------------------------------------------
I was not able to give Teddy the pills the veterinarian prescribed so after talking with the veterinarian she prescribed a liquid which I was able to get it compounded at Wards Pharmacy. Teddy will need this 2 times a day for 14 days. He is feeling better but has a long way to go for full recovery. Pray my female cat, Zoe, will resume friendship with Teddy. I think she smells the Vet odor on his fur. I've wiped off his fur twice. They've always been best buds!
-------------------------------
My male cat, Teddy, is sick and I took him to the veterinarian Saturday, October 9th. Doctor says Teddy is anemic (deficient in red blood cells). He says it is curable but only with medication. I took the prescription to Walgreens immediately following the veterinarian visit. The medication is sold out and the pharmacist said she would order it. Pray the med will arrive today (Sunday), October 10th. It's difficult seeing Teddy suffer. God loves all of his creatures. Pray for me too. I love this sweet boy.
