Sitting in a hospital surgical waiting room as Betty McMann is in surgery.  Her surgery began around 5:00PM and is expected to take a little over an hour unless problems arise.  I came by to have prayer with her and then went to two other hospitals to make visits.  Darryll was by himself and I told him that I would be back to sit with him during the procedure.  What a blessing to walk into the waiting room to see that Max & Marge Peacock, Mariam Moates and Wanda Jordan had come to be with Darryll.  Ministers!

Darryll’s mother, age 93, is in ICU in an Illinois hospital.  She has double pneumonia and is not responding to the antibiotics.  Darryll will not leave Betty but is obviously concerned about his mother’s condition too.

Began the morning going by to pray with Luthene Herston before her surgery.  Had another appointment so I could not stay.  Saw Beverly Aldrich this afternoon and she said the doctor was satisfied with the surgery.  Miss Luthene will be in the hospital until at least Monday.

Attempted to see Evan Eyler too.  He was not available.  I know he is ready to get out of the hospital.

Visited with infant Drake Howard and his parents this afternoon.  They took Drake to ICU to do some tests.  He continues to just randomly stop breathing.  Pray the doctors can find the cause and cure.

Walker Seaman is the young son of Rusty & Julie Seaman.  He has been in the hospital since Sunday with gastro problems.  They are going to do some tests tomorrow to try and determine the cause of his problems and the remedy.  I visited with Walker and his mother this afternoon.  Laura Cole, who is their neighbor, and her son, Dillon, were visiting them as well.  Ministers!

Visited with Lance Curl’s dad and sister this afternoon.  Lance’s condition remains unchanged.  Jim Chinners visited with the family yesterday and they were very grateful.  Minister.  Folks, Lance needs a miracle.

Got word from Rita Padilla this afternoon that Cristy Leytham is not doing well.  I do not know the details but do ask that you stop and pray for her now.

Most likely will not make it to the visitation with the Burkhalter/Coleman family tonight because of the lateness of Betty’s surgery.  Lisa and I will do the visitation and service tomorrow.

Pray for all of these needs.
