Prayer Requests

6/2 Update on Judy. They were talking about sending her home today, but she ended up back in ICU with A-fib early this morning. Please pray they can get this under control. And pray for God's perfect peace over her. Thanks

6/2 Prayer request for Brad Lloyd. He's my granddaughter Amy's brother.  I got this from their mom, Jen. "Hi Sue- can you say a prayer for Brad- we have been at Virtua since before 8 am, he has a bowel obstruction and they have admitted him- they put in an NG tube and are sucking out his stomach now, and will be putting him on steroids. They are worried about sepsis. We are waiting for the colorectal surgeon to come in for a consult. "   please pray for Brad & for God to direct the doctors.

5/31 Update on my cousin John Phillips;  John came home from the hospital this week.  They wanted him to go to rehab & tried to tell him he wasn't ready to go home, but he refused, so he's home. He's not doing well though & I think some of it is mental issues. He's not sleeping & he's not able to get out of his chair alone.  My favorite cousin but boy is he stubborn.  I'm actually worried about his wife, Jane, though too.  Jane has had her own heart issues in the past & I'm worried all this stress will put her in the hospital herself. So please, pray for both John & Jane during this stressful time. Continue to pray for his salvation.  Thank you so much

5/31 From Millie: Prayer request for Chris, who  comes with me to church. She  was just taken out by the ambulance.  She has had trouble with her blood pressure, and she had previously had a stroke and also surgery on her brain because of the last stroke she had.
