Please Pray

For a good outcome and healing for surgical procedures on Tuesday...

...for my niece, Donna, who will have a hysterectomy

...for Ann's friend, Kay Rohde, who will have spinal surgery


For Paul the BB who has an important meeting on Tuesday.

Update from Eileen at Episcopalifem:

My mother-in-law is having a second hip replacement done this afternoon.

She’s nervous. My husband is nervous – he’ll be at the hospital waiting, always a difficult task. It’s a big surgery, and since this is her second go around, she knows exactly what to expect (which is both a help and a hindrance).

I pray things go smoothly for her, that she has no crises, and the surgery is a success.

Thanks for those of you who take a few moments to remember us in your thoughts and prayers today.

Update on Kay from Facebook:

The dr. Just came out to see us. She is out of surgery. He is confident that he got all of the tumor and that she will eventually recover. We're still waiting to see her. But she is safe.

Thanks be to God.

Update 2 from Paul the BB:

For Joseph Montoya who worked in our travel department and died in an accident and for his father Max who also works in our department.

May Joseph rest in peace and rise in glory. May God give comfort and consolation to Max and those who love Joseph.

Update 3 from Eileen:

The surgery went well..and after spending a bit of time in recovery she is now in a regular room and resting. Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. It means a lot to me.

Thankful again.

Update 4 on Donna and Kay:

Donna - Surgery went well - she's tired and in some pain - but not overwhelming. May well come home tomorrow.

Dictated by Kay - I'm in Observation waiting to go back to my room. All I can eat is ice chips, but there's more and more motion in my legs! I thank you all for your prayers. The chief nurse just came in, and I'll be good soon.

Again heartfelt thankfulness.
