Paulo had another stable day which we are so grateful for. He was a little out of breath when he woke up but once he got moving it passed. Today was a bit more of a struggle for me. There are moments in the day, I have found it a little harder to breathe, but my oxygen saturation level continues to be good. It has been overwhelming not only because of our situation, but hearing the news about what is happening with our friends, colleagues, and friends of friends. I wish I could better express just how much your prayers are giving us strength and peace during this storm!

Thank you so much! Blessings,

Lyndell

Last night at the ER, they took Paulo’s vitals and let me know he was in observation, waiting to see the Covid specialist. They said it looked like he would be admitted.

The Covid doctor had Paulo do a gasometer test. While he wasn't happy with the results, they decided not to admit Paulo. Instead he gave Paulo a prescription for more medication and we were home by 4am.

This morning I sent the new test results to the lung specialist. He is concerned that Paulo's lungs are 60-70% compromised. We keep monitoring Paulo's blood oxygen saturation and look for signs that he might be out of breath, which he is not right now.

My situation continues to be better than Paulo's. My saturation level has even gone up.

Thank you for your prayers

Hello Everyone,

Paulo is currently in emergency. His lungs are 60-70% compromised. I am at home arranging the finances for his admittance. It is 11pm here. I am on the phone with my Canadian bank. Please pray that I am able to arrange these funds.

Thanks for your prayers,

We are so grateful for the prayers and messages.

This morning Paulo's blood oxygen saturation was low again. We have been able to borrow an oxygen concentrator machine and that helped his levels increase. He also had a phone appointment with a lung specialist who was pleased with the new level he is at using this machine. The doctor would like him to get a tomography tomorrow. Please pray as to the logistics of getting that done.

Thankfully, my levels are good. I have exerted all the energy I have in caring for Paulo today, so please pray for extra strength so that I don't get worse.

Doug, on behalf of Judy Lausman:

Judy had surgery this past week to place a stint in her kidneys in order to help them drain. The doctor said that one of the kidneys still looks viable.

She will be starting her chemo treatments this Friday and will have them every three weeks for 3-4 rounds if they seem to be effective.

If things go well, the plan is for Judy to then start stem-cell treatment.

Please pray for wisdom for the medical team, that infections or Covid will not occur, and for the strength, peace, hope and healing over the coming weeks.

Dad continues to recover at home without any complications. He has his first post-surgery appointment with his surgeon this next week by Zoom. Dad still feels very weak and tired but that is to be expected.

The latest news from Paulo and I is that we have both tested positive for the new Covid variante here in Brazil. Paulo has been sick for over a week and I have been unwell for almost a week so we were tested this past Thursday and got our results today. We are not sure how we got it as we are staying home as much as possible. We have both seen a doctor and have been taking medication. So far, the symptoms are moderate and so we are recovering at home.

We are so grateful for your prayers for a full recovery for all 3 of us!

From the Prayer Wall moderator:

Update: Please note that very shortly after Cathy had submitted the prayer request below that her mother Catherine passed away. She has requested this update to be added to the original submission.

———————————

Request from Cathy Lakin:

I would like to request prayer for my family.

My 94 year old mother (Catherine) is in hospital in Edmonton and she is very ill. She is unconscious and not responding to treatment. The family was given the choice of what her treatment should be none of which would give a positive outcome. We have decided that she should be kept comfortable and to leave her in God's hands.

We have decided not to travel to Edmonton partly because of Covid restrictions in the hospital and also the fact that she wouldn't know we were there. The hardest part is realizing that we are just waiting for her to die. It could be hours or it could be days.

So I would ask for peace for us and her.

Please urgently pray for my son Connor that his professors at university help him out with guiding him toward some better knowledge so that he can pass all his courses this term. He has always done so well but this last term of his degree program has been especially challenging due to the Covid19 restrictions and lack of personal contact. May Jesus please help Connor out and give him the confidence he needs to succeed in all courses this term. Thanks for praying with me.

Please continue to keep Natalie Hagman in prayer as she continues to battle numerous chronic health issues. She asks that we as a church family could pray in regards to the following things:

- Pray for wisdom for her doctors as they treat ongoing issues with her kidneys.

- Pray for Natalie's esophagus from her throat to her stomach would work better, as it has been causing issues of pain, choking and indigestion.

- Pray for Natalie's ability to cope with the large amount of pain in her joints and spinal column

- Pray for perseverance, that Natalie can continue to rest peacefully in the Lord's care in the midst of these things.

Natalie continues to seek and trust Christ as her Saviour, Shepherd and Great Physician. Let us continue to hold her and Norm in prayer.

My family and I are counting our blessings and have so many reasons to praise the Lord because today my Dad went home from the hospital!!!

Starting tomorrow, he will have home care come in and he will have daily virtual meetings with medical staff so they can keep track of his progress. He was sent home with lots of technology to make that happen.

As I talked with Mom and Dad, for the first time in the last 2 weeks, my Dad sounds like himself again. He still has a ways to go to recover completely, but he is well on his way thanks to so many prayers that have been prayed on his behalf and thanks to the wonderful doctors, nurses and technicians who took such great care of him! Dad said to make sure to thank all of you for your prayers! I thank you, too

We are so thankful for your prayers and we are praising the Lord for his answers! The latest news is Dad is eating food! He is also walking a lot in the mornings with a walker. He is still feeling tired and sore. Today when Mom went to visit she noticed his stomach was swollen. The nurses aren't sure why but he had some tests done this morning, so hopefully the doctor can find out what is going on and let Dad know on his rounds tomorrow morning. The nurses did say if it's fluid it can be easily taken care of. They also took one of his two IVs out and another one of several tubes he has been hooked up to. He is hoping that will make it easier to sleep tonight.

Mom had her first Covid vaccine today! And she has had no side effects. PTL

Prayer request update from Lyndell Campbell (NAB Missions):

Hello Everyone!

Not much to report tonight. Dad is still in ICU which we are thankful for. He is still very weak and is having trouble using his hands, so he wouldn't be able to press the call button for help if he needed it in a regular room. Today they removed a couple of tubes - one was going through his nose and was very uncomfortable for him so I am sure it is a relief to have that one gone! Mom stayed home today to get some rest. Tomorrow she and my sister will go see Dad again. Hopefully, they will be able to video call me so I can see him, too!

As I spoke to my Mom today we marvelled at how blessed we are to have so many praying for Dad and us as a family! Thank you very much!

Blessings,

Lyndell

Prayer request from Susan Shallcross:

A few months back I suffered a small stroke that was undiagnosed until recently. I've been experiencing failing memory, troubles sleeping and feeling exhausted . . . I feel scared.

I have an upcoming appointment where I hope to receive a prescription for a new medication that may help with healing of the brain. This is hopeful news but I cant swallow small pills - they get stuck in my throat.

Please pray that I experience God's strength, wisdom, joy and perseverance daily.

Prayer request from Lyndell Campbell-Requia (NAB Missions):

Earlier this week they had my Dad walking for the first time since surgery. This is an important step in his recovery. Later in the day he was moved out of the ICU to a room on the general surgery ward!

Yesterday he was feeling very weak (weaker than the day before) and hadn't slept well his first night in this new ward. We are thankful that he has more strength in his hands and is able to use his cell phone now. That way, when he is feeling better he can call us.

Dad hasn't been allowed to eat any food since the surgery. Before he is allowed

Prayer request received from Lyndell Campbell-Requia on Tuesday.

Yesterday, my Dad, Curtis Campbell, was taken by ambulance to the University of Alberta Hospital. Today he had surgery for a blockage in his bile duct. Tonight we were told they ended up removing 25% of his liver and his gallbladder. He is currently in ICU because of concerns over his blood pressure and he needed oxygen. Tomorrow we will learn more details.

I would be so grateful if you could pray that my Dad would make a full recovery. Also, please pray for my Mom.
