UPDATE ON JOEY SWITZER

Joey met with Dr. Faircloth this afternoon and, in the doctor’s opinion, the tumor in Joey’s head is not malignant!  Hallelujah!  Please know this is not dogmatic but Dr. Faircloth is very confident in his opinion. 

A copy of the MRI has been sent overnight to the M.D. Anderson Clinic in Houston, TX for their opinion.  If they see nothing that disagrees with Dr. Faircloth’s opinion, Joey will most likely undergo surgery in Mobile on Friday, 7/25, to have the tumor removed. 

Joey’s view has not changed as he has told me through this whole ordeal that he wants God to receive the glory!  He is thanking God for answering prayers in this situation.  I simply ask that you join me in continuing to pray until the final pathology report comes back two working days after the surgery is complete. 

Joey expresses his profound appreciation to each person who has called his name in prayer and asks that you keep praying!  Thank you sweet Jesus!

TUESDAY, 7/22/08

*This entry below was written shortly after midnight on 7/22.  However, our website went down and it did not upload until now.  Sorry for the inconvenience.  I checked on Bill Unrue but he was gone for a test.  I attended the funeral for Emily Taylor and that went well. 

What an eventful day!  I always love calling the airlines and being placed on hold for thirty minutes or so and that is how my day began.  However, in light of all that happened today, I realize that I am very, very blessed!  I have no complaints! 

The funeral service for Emily Taylor will take place this morning at 10:00AM preceded by a visitation at 9:00AM.  Lord willing, I will attend this service to support Diane, Keith, and their families. 

Bill Unrue was placed in a local hospital late yesterday afternoon.  He has not been feeling well for a couple of weeks now.  Pray for Bill! 

Shirley Bosarge will have hip replacement surgery tomorrow morning.  It is my understanding that the tumor in her hip area has literally broken a bone.  Pray for Miss Shirley.

I spoke to Pastor Terry Rainey today and Josh Caldwell has completed his first round of chemotherapy treatments and is doing well.  No sickness and no side effects thus far.  Pray for Josh!

You have read the entry regarding Joey Switzer.  Please join me in praying fervently! 

Bro. Jerry has posted an entry on the GRACE blog.  Continue to pray for that team as they do ministry in Guatemala.
