Glenn Parker
From Glenn Parker: My brother, Bruce Parker, is still at IICU at HSC (his 9th week). The doctors are treating it like Guillain-Barre Syndrome. He now knows we are with him, understands what we say to him, and can make facial expressions and slightly nod his head or shrug his shoulders to communicate. We, including Bruce, know its going to be a long recovery including rehab. Last week his left arm moved and he has a bit of tingling in his legs. A challenge is his lungs!! We're praying that once the GBS starts to recede that his lungs will get stronger as well. Our 92 year old Mother seems to be taking this well, although she hasn't seen him. Thank you for your prayers. Glenn

Johanna Jorgensen
From Johanna Jorgensen: Thank you to all those who have been praying for my family and I as we are on this cancer journey. God has been with us and we have felt your prayers. So far, the CT scan, ultrasound, and blood work have all come back clear! I had surgery 3 weeks ago to remove a large portion of my stomach so they could catch any remaining melanoma, as well as removal of some lymph nodes to see if the cancer has spread to there. Some specific things we'd love prayer for:
1. Please be praying for us tomorrow (September 25th) as we will be going to Cancer Care to find out if the cancer has spread to my lymph nodes. This is the biggest test result we've been waiting for and we're a little nervous about this one! Please pray it hasn't spread.
2. Please be praying that the results of my bone scan come back clear (although I'm less worried about that one).
3. Please pray also be praying that pain in my chest is just anxiety and not cancer related.
4. Please pray I get the all clear tomorrow to lift my kids. I haven't been able to lift my kids for 3 weeks so that's been challenging with a 9 month old and a 2 year old!
5. Please pray that my staging doesn't go up. I'm stage 2, but tomorrow we find out what my official cancer stage is.
Thank you! We so, so appreciate the love, prayer, and support from our church!

Pastor Alf Bell
Please pray for Alf Bell as he recuperates at Victoria Hospital following some medical issues. Pastor Alf will likely remain in hospital for a number more days at least as some tests are done and as medical programs are put in place to help him return home. He is on the 5th floor and very open to visits.

Johanna Jorgensen
Please pray for me and my family as I was recently diagnosed with nodular melanoma (skin cancer). We don't know what stage I'm at yet, but we are praying it's only stage 2 as that would only be surgery. Stage 3 would likely be chemo. We are going to cancer care this coming Wednesday and we will find out some more info, results of x-rays and blood work and a treatment plan. Please pray for peace and for complete healing. And just that we don't let anxiety creep in as it's so easy to let your mind go to the worst place when you don't know how bad the cancer is yet. Pray for my husband Adam. And just for strength as we have two little kids ages 2 and 7 (almost 8 months). It's hard to deal with. But we know we serve a God who is ever with us and trust that we can bring him glory even in the midst of this.

Glenn Parker
From Glenn Parker: I request prayer for my brother Bruce, who was admitted to HSC on Sunday because of weakness to his lower body (he could not stand up or walk), Many tests have confirmed nothing. However, they suspect Guillain-Barre Syndrome. The weakness has now spread to his upper body, and he has been transferred to ICU. Apparently this syndrome reverses itself, but his stay in the hospital will be several weeks. The worst is still to come. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors, God's healing, and for peace for our 92 year old Mother during this trying time.

From Susan Shallcross: Last night our daughter Mary Krohn experienced another heart arrhythmia. She was taken to St Boniface Hospital where she was prepared for the procedure to stop her heart and shock it back to start it. This is always a tense time. We had some people praying when slowly her heart came into rhythm. What a miracle. We thank God for showing this to us. She has always been known as Gods child. Thank you for everyone who prayed last night and for those who always have our family in their prayers.

From Melanie Friesen: Thanks for praying for my nephew. Praise God, he is healing really well. His ultrasound looked good but showed a shadow that could be a hematoma. He will go back for another ultrasound in 2 weeks and has to have factor every day for a while to make sure he doesn’t bleed internally. He was discharged today. Continue to pray that he continues to heal well and for my sister and her husband as they have the difficult decision to make as to whether to try to do this surgery again.

From Melanie Friesen: Another update on my nephew: They took the tube out and he is breathing well on his own. He’s really tired and has been nauseous. They just gave him meds for nausea. They are giving him factor every 8 hours. He is doing well all things considered, but they need to watch him carefully. He hasn’t been able to drink yet. He will be in the hospital at least two more nights. Thanks for praying

From Patti Bonas: Hello to our church family. Not sure if I have done this lately. Dieter and I would like to thank all of you for your concern, care, prayers, visits, cards and gifts during my recent illness and hospitalization. It was a tough go but came through another serious illness once again. I believe the positive outcome was only due to prayer and the grace of God. We just can't thank you enough for being faithful along the journey. We hope to be back at church soon. God bless you all.

From Melanie Friesen: Please continue to pray for my nephew Luke. The surgery didn’t go well. They weren’t able to get the port in and they accidentally punctured the carotid artery. They have to keep him sedated for a couple days and are pumping him with factor to make sure he doesn’t bleed internally and heals.

From Melanie Friesen: Please pray for my nephew, Luke (my sister, Alisa's youngest). He has severe hemophilia and has been experiencing more frequent internal bleeds so he is having surgery tomorrow at 1:30 to have a port put in so that he will be able to receive his injections more often. This can be a risky surgery for someone with a bleeding disorder. Pray that everything goes smoothly and that my sister and her husband would sense the peace of God.
