Visited with Caroline Ford late this afternoon.  She remains in ICU.  The test results came back today and Caroline has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.  There are no traditional medical treatments available to her.  The doctor offered to move her to their hospice care floor but she has made the decision to go home under hospice care.  That move will possibly take place on Wednesday but that is not finalized.  Pray for Caroline.

I spoke to Larry Whitehurst late this afternoon.  He did not get the report he wanted from one of the surgeons who was present during Larry’s surgery.  They did not remove nearly as much of the tumor as Larry and family had been led to believe.  They are mentioning an additional surgery but Larry is not on board with that idea at this time.  Can you blame him?  Larry meets with another doctor tomorrow.  He likes this doctor and has a lot of confidence in him so it will be interesting to hear what he has to say about Larry’s situation.  Pray for Larry.

So, I feel led to call a special prayer meeting for tomorrow night, Tuesday, 2/20, in the church worship center beginning at 6:30PM.  The focus of this prayer time will be for Caroline and Larry but we will gladly pray for any person requesting prayer.  This will be a time of corporate prayer followed by a time of personal prayer if anyone so desires.

I need help in getting this word out to the members of the Friendship family.  I will be sending a few e-mails but would appreciate it if you would help spread the word even if you are not able to attend.

Special called prayer meeting – Tuesday, February 20, 2018, beginning at 6:30PM.  Friendship Baptist Church worship center.  Pass the word!

Blessings!
