Prayers for Randy Fox and family

Hello my church family,

I usually am the one posting other people's prayer requests. Well, now I have one of my own - My husband, Randy, has been battling infection after infection, and an open wound, since having his Achilles tendon repaired on March 31st. He will go back into surgery this Friday at 12:30 to remove the dissolvable sutures which is where the doctor thinks the infection is being harbored. While in there, they will do a deep culture to try to determine the exact type of infection. The doc is also bringing in an infectious disease specialist. Randy will be in the hospital through Monday. Depending on what they find will determine the course of action - they may send him home on Monday or he might remain in the hospital for a continued course of IV antibiotics.

Please pray for us that we remain calm and confident in knowing that God is in control. Please pray for our surgeon, Dr. Joel Hurt, who is an amazing Christian man, to use his God-given talents to perform this surgery. Please pray for the nurses and other staff that we have to deal with in their understanding of what Randy has been through the last four months - and their understanding that to us this isn't just a routine surgery.

Thank you in advance for praying. Janie Fox

ANSWERED PRAYER: Steven Todd

Just received this email from Jennifer Todd, that we wanted to pass along:

Thank you guys for praying for Steven and the knee surgery. Everything went as planned and without any problems. Steven can walk and put weight on his knee with very minimal pain. He is doing really well and not in much pain tonight. I really appreciate you prayer warriors standing in the gap for us. God has really blessed us with your friendships and his mercy. love you ,jenn

Request for Steven Todd

Friday morning, July 23rd, at 1130am, Steven is having surgery in Round Rock on his knee to repair a torn miniscus. Please pray with us that the procedure, anesthesia, etc would go perfectly and without a hitch. Pray for the doc/nurses to be well rested and alert to do their job perfectly. Pray for Steven's body to respond as it should and recover quickly.

Thank you so much. We don't expect this surgery to have a long recovery time, just some physical therapy, etc. Steven expects to be back at work on Monday. Jennifer's mom has come up to stay with the kids tomorrow, so all is well on the home front, too.

Prayers for the Lykken family

Dave's Dad passed away last night. We received this word from him:

A few moments ago at approximately 2:43 am Central time, my much loved Dad peacefully passed away in his sleep at the ripe ol' age of 87 having lived a happy & full life. He just finished reading a few days earlier the book "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn. Dad is now living what he read about... Glory!

The Lykken family will be travelling to Minnesota today to be with his Mom and other family.

Keep them in your prayers during this sad, but at the same time, joyous event in their lives.

Prayers for Deborah Page

Deborah Page is a church member who hasn't been attending much in the last couple of years.

We just found out that she has cancer and is just finishing up chemotherapy and radiation. She has been doing well but her blood count bottomed out and she has been extremely fatigued.

Please keep her in your prayers!
