Prayer List - March 10th

BEREAVED

Jean Johnson went home to be with the Lord on Saturday night.  There will be a memorial service for her later when COVID concerns are no longer an issue.  Joy’s sister has been unable to be vaccinated yet and feeling the need to be very cautious.  Cards of comfort may be sent to Joy Ross 1401 Stoney Dr. West Plains, MO 65775.

HOSPITALIZED

After a meeting “with many physicians, nurses and palliative care team the decision has been made to send Bonnie Ridenour home on hospice.”  This will take place within the next couple of days.  Please pray especially for Nikki who had to make this extremely difficult decision.  She says, “My heart is saddened but I’m respecting her wishes and want what she wants.”  Please pray for Bonnie’s passing to be peaceful and that she and all who love her will feel the loving arms of Our Savior carrying them through this time.

Nancy Morgan remains in Community Hospital East as she awaits additional surgery Friday.  Please pray for pain control and that all will go well with the upcoming surgery to allow successful healing and that she will soon be fully weight bearing again.  It has been a very long road toward recovery for her,  please pray for her to find hope and comfort in God’s mercy and provision.

Michael Speer’s mother Cheri reports that a doctor from Methodist has told her that due to having a severely bleeding ulcer, it is not uncommon for continued bleeding.  They think it is stable at the moment.  He will likely need more extensive abdominal surgery for a more permanent solution soon, but it is not needed during this hospitalization.   Hopefully he can come home soon.  (Keith is uncomfortable and having to watch a 4 year old during the day.)  Please continue to pray for the entire Speer family!

Millie Pratt, Sherry Amlung’s mother is back in the hospital due to labored breathing and low oxygen levels.  She appears to be stable now.  They are unsure what the next step will be.  Please pray for the Lord to provide wisdom for the medical team and peace for the family.

PRAYER

Cherly Kinkoph’s brother-in-law, Ron Roberts fell from a ladder yesterday suffering 4 broken bones in his back.  After being assessed at a hospital in Seymour, he was sent to Methodist Hospital, but then permitted to return home because “the bones he broke aren’t near the spine.”  Please pray for pain relief and healing for him.
