Prayer Request Update

The other day I asked everyone to pray for Patty Ezell. She basically had pancreatic cancer, and was going to have surgery to remove it because they did not think it had spread to her liver.

Yesterday, she went to Vanderbilt to have surgery. When they did the surgery, they inserted a small camera before they did everything. They found two very small white spots on her liver, meaning the cancer had spread.

They went ahead and cancelled the surgery, and have scheduled chemotherapy to help remove the spots. At this moment, they're not exactly sure what is going to happen, but the news we got yesterday was not what we were hoping for. She came home last night, and will be going back to Vanderbilt to start chemo soon.

Please continue to pray for her.

On a side note, I heard also about a man who is a really special guy. C. W. Barnes is having some complications due to Diabetes, and is having a hard time dealing with it. He was in the hosptial yesterday going over some options he may have in dealing with one of his legs.

C.W.'s daughter, Rachel, a girl who I grew up with and went to school with, has a young baby who is having some complications as well. The child is scheduled to have surgery in October to fix some problems with her skull. Her skull is fusing too fast, and if not corrected, will cause brain damage in the child.

Please say a special prayer for the entire family.

I was going to give you a heads up about Kelly Stewart's blog, too. This family needs our prayers. Spread the word, man.
