New Prayer Requests

• Gail Clanton fell outside at her home and cut her head.  She got three staples and a CT scan of her head. Pray it heals well.

• Karen Davis has extremely high calcium levels, which is hyperparathyroidism. She may need surgery to remove some nodules on her thyroid. Pray her condition is treated properly.

• Update on Anna Harkins - lots of doc appointments this week. She has had a few breakthrough seizures so they are looking at a surgical procedure to implant a Vagal Nerve Stimulator.  Her labs show what is likely permanent organ damage from DRESS in her kidneys & thyroid. Nothing too scary yet & doctors will keep a close eye. Otherwise her labs show lots of improvement.
