Bradford, Larry
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Complete History02-Mar-10
Larry Bradford, an elder with UCG in the Colorado Springs congregation, had surgery for colon cancer a while back and then underwent chemotherapy. It seemed the cancer was gone. However, a recent biopsy showed that he now has liver cancer. There is also a small spot on the spleen. Larry will begin chemotherapy again on Wednesday. If the spot on the spleen is gone and the larger spot on the liver has shrunk, he will have surgery to remove part of his liver. Your prayers for peace and complete healing would be greatly appreciated.

Fiske, Bob
Complete History11-Mar-10
The angiogram has brought good news and bad news. Of the 6 blood vessels involved in the bypass four are open, one is partially blocked, and one is closed. The doctor did not want to make a hasty decision (at the time of the angiogram) and put a stent in the blocked artery immediately. Bob has an appointment on the 18th to view the x-rays and discuss the options. Thank you for your prayers, phone calls and continued prayers.
05-Mar-10
Please pray for Bob Fiske, who is scheduled for an angiogram this coming Tuesday, March 9. Because of a previous 6-coronary bypass in February 2002, and because he has developed arterial fibrillation, his cardiologist is concerned there is narrowing of the coronary arteries and thus recommended the angiogram.
Please pray for God's healing and that the results are favorable with little or no complications. Thank you.

Sheila's visit with the Ear, Nose and Throat specialist revealed a rather large polyp in her throat, which at times inhibits comfortable speech and swallowing.

Morrow, Lora
Complete History11-Mar-10
Larry writes,
Lora is in so much pain that she has talked favorably of death. This last week she had a migraine that lasted three days. I didn't mention this before, but Lora has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, ataxia, and early stages of Parkinson's. Lora wakes up and goes to sleep (when she can) in chronic pain.
It is only her incredible faith and strength that has kept Lora going. She needs ongoing, fervent prayers.
Thank you to everyone for your outgoing concern in the prayers I know have been sent to our Father on her behalf.

Perkins, Virginia (84)
Dallas, Texas
Complete History12-Mar-10
Thank you for your prayers on Virginia's behalf God has intervened and given Virginia the ability to eat once again. She is gradually gaining her strength back. Please continue to pray for her son, Mike. In addition to the responsibility of caring for his mother, his wife left him. He is looking for a place to live, and has a very limited income.
01-Mar-10
Please pray for Virginia Perkins and her family, in particular her son Mike who has power of attorney. She has been going from the rest home to the hospital frequently in the last two weeks because she can no longer swallow and has become dehydrated. Her son must make a decision regarding whether to have an operation to put her on a feeding tube. The doctors tell him she could die during the operation because she has a weak aorta valve. She has been suffering from dementia for several years now and is completely incoherent and cannot communicate to tell anyone what she might want, although Mike did say at one time she didn't want to be operated on. It is a tough emotional decision for him to make and one that he needs guidance with. Please pray that God will intervene and mercifully resolve the situation. Thank you.
Platt, Len
Sooke, British Columbia, Canada
Complete History11-Mar-10
John and Tricia Plunkett would like to request prayers for their long-time friend, Len Platt, who is suffering from an extremely serious dental infection which has spread throughout his bloodstream and is giving him severe pain – in his mouth, of course – but even more especially in his legs. Despite frequent visits to and treatment from specialist dentists, Len’s pain has become so severe that he is frequently unable to sleep or to work effectively – even from his home office. Please also pray for Len’s wife, Marion, who is frantic with worry.

Geoff and I are so grateful for the prayers of the brethren. Geoff came through the operation really well and has been able to be up and walk a little. He is on oxygen until the morning. There is some bleeding at the site, but all being well he will be able to come home in the morning. Geoff truly did have favour with all men (and hospital staff!) and we are truly grateful to God and the brethren for their prayers.
27-Feb-10
Geoff is scheduled to have surgery on Tuesday, March 2 to correct an abdominal hernia. The Prestons would appreciate your prayers for everything to go well, for a speedy recovery, and that there would not be any last minute cancellations that would affect the timing. Thank you.
