UPDATE ON KIRK & MICHELLE LIGHTFIELD’S GRANDSON IN GUATEMALA

Received the following from Michelle Lightfield yesterday regarding their grandson, Brayden, who recently finished ten rounds of chemotherapy and is schedule to have the tumor removed on Wednesday, October 10.

“Brayden will have the right lobe of his liver removed. The tumor is in the upper right lobe, but because of it’s placement they cannot tell if the vein going to the bottom right is compromised or not. So there is a slight chance they only have to remove 1/4 of the liver, but most likely the whole half.

Specific prayer requests for the next week:
• that we get enough blood donors and platelet donors in time
• that the tumor doesn’t start to grow again because he’s been off chemo for almost 4 weeks
• that his white cell count and platelets come up to the right numbers
• that he stays healthy this week, and doesn’t catch any illness or bug!
• that his surgery goes without a hitch. That there are no complications whatsoever.”

Surgery could last 3-7 hours!  They will keep Brayden sedated a day or two afterwards. He will have a breathing tube in but they are hopeful that they will be able to take that out right after surgery.  Brayden is expected to be in ICU for 4-5 days.

Please pray Brayden will not have any complications during surgery, there will be no infections afterwards, and that the Lord gives the surgeon steady hands and wisdom while operating!

THURSDAY, 9/27/18

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Today marks my paternal grandmother’s 120th birthday.  Not that it matters but just thought about it as I was preparing to write this entry.

I am hearing that the senior adults attending the quartet convention are doing good.  That is obviously good news.  They are scheduled to return home on Saturday.

Robert Baria and Steve Morris were both discharged from the hospital yesterday.  I pray they did not come home too early as neither of them likes to be in the hospital.  However, both have an excellent wife who will provide good care.  Pray for them.

Phillip Turner’s mother continues to not do well physically.  Please say a special prayer for her and the family.

Amy Switzer was involved in an automobile accident this past Monday.  Vehicle was totaled.  Broke three bones in one foot.  She will she an ortho doctor today.  She is praying surgery will not be required.  Join her in that prayer.  I am so going to out do her on the treadmill now!  Just saying!

Jim Broadus’ brother passed from this life.  I do not know the details but ask that you pray for the family.

I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
