Oscar Petersen did in fact suffer a stroke yesterday.  He will be kept in the hospital for several days as they observe him.

Lisa Thompson’s surgical procedure went well.  She is in ICU overnight and should be in the hospital for a few days.

Luke Brown’s father has the flu and will be in the hospital for a few days as well.

Gary Huhn’s father remains in a Mississippi hospital.

Ruby Gulley is some better.  Not nearly as confused as she was over the weekend.  They are now thinking it will be next week before she is discharged from the hospital.

Sierra Edwards’ son-in-law remains in a hospital in the greater Birmingham area.  Sierra has gone back to be with her daughter and son-in-law.

Maria Wainwright’s mother got some not so good news regarding her malignancy.  Maria has gone to Louisiana to share the news with her mother.

Ethan Nelson is scheduled to have surgery on Wednesday.

Pastor Terry Rainey remains in the hospital.  Not sure when he will be discharged and sent back to South Carolina on the medical jet.

So, our prayer list is rather lengthy.  Pray without ceasing!

This entry is late and that is by design.

Oscar Petersen was taken to the hospital yesterday afternoon.  The initial thought was a stroke but that was not the case.  The tests did show that he had a stroke at some point in the past but not yesterday.  They kept him for observation overnight.

Lisa Thompson was scheduled for a surgical procedure this afternoon but it got moved to first thing this morning.  She continues to have difficulty breathing so pray this procedure works.

I saw Winston this morning and will be visiting Ruby later.

Luke Brown’s father was admitted to the hospital last night for observation.

How about some really, really good news?  The insurance company has agreed to fly Pastor Terry Rainey home on a medical jet for his rehab.  Folks, this is a God thing – totally!  To God be the glory!
