Feel free to submit as many prayer requests as you like! Lorraine Brevig was in the hospital with double pneumonia a few weeks back. She’s been home for about 12 days. Today in a follow up doc appointment an X-ray showed she still has a significant amount of fluid in her lungs. They doubled her water pills and the doc will call her back in a week. Please pray she will be able to sleep comfortably and we will know if more attention is needed. She is discouraged with her recovery having never been sick like this in her 92 years. Scott has been transferred to Bethany at SilverLake for some rehab therapy. He may not have any visitors; we are getting by with FaceTime several times a day.
We ask for your prayers regarding his appetite and swallow. He is not eating much. He’ll be given a swallow test soon which may help determine the source and solution to his difficulty. He is rather weak.
Thank you for your ongoing prayer support. Please pray for the following:
1. Kristen Caughlan’s dad is in the hospital, and having a very difficult time. Please pray for him, his wife (Kristen’s mom) and the Caughlan’s.
2. Lorraine Brevig is in the hospital (Overlake) dealing with double pneumonia. Please pray for her recovery as well as for her great grandchildren. Scott Golike's Update
Please keep praying for a full recovery.
He is now off of oxygen, his lungs are clear, they are still keeping the diuretic going to get a little bit more fluid off of his lungs, the infection count is down, there's no fever, the germ was a strep germ which they were able to diagnose and then adjust to the right antibiotic for that particular strep. The kidney count has improved and the doctor says he is "rolling downhill now".
He also confirmed that we will need to admit him to a short-term rehab/skilled nursing facility which will be arranged by the case management. They are searching that out now.
Praise God for good progress!
In Christ,
Mark Golike Mark Golike contacted me this morning and said, "my dad had a major heart attack in the night and a had a stent put in, they will put in a second on Sunday. He is not in pain, they are monitoring him closely. Visitors are not allowed, so we ask for your prayers." I would love to have prayers for my hip replacement surgery tomorrow (12.8); both for my surgeon and surgery team, as well as, for my recovery at home over the next few weeks. Thank you. Please pray for dear friends of ours (they requested we share this request). She was my small group leader in college. They have just lost their 28 year old son to a massive cardiac event. They are grieving terribly. Their 26 year old daughter, Kathryn, also just lost one of her best friends. Her parents would like prayer for her faith to remain through this, and that she would find a church to attend that can help her grow through this (she’s in Chicago). Their 23 year old , Carl, is facing a major surgery on December 22. He also has some heart problems so they’re very nervous about his going through this surgery. The parents are Amy and Dan. They need us to lift up their family as they journey this hard path. So very thankful for all your intercession on behalf of my friend, Jeannie. I praise God that she came through the surgery and they found less damage than had appeared on the scans.
She is on a respirator for now and faces a challenging recovery with many medical issues. But the surgery is over and I can’t begin to express how valued your prayers have been. Please pray for the Seattle Metro delegation of students, staff, and volunteers going to this year's in-person Vision Conference by Bridges International, December 28-January 1st in Baltimore and Washington DC. The conference is designed to lead seekers to faith, and Christians to deeper commitment to Jesus and missions, all in cross-culturally sensitive and thoughtful ways
Besides Kristen and I, six other staff and 2 community volunteers, we're taking 27 students from 7 different area campuses, who represent 14 different nations. Among the 27 are 10 Christians and 17 seekers. Please pray that all will take significant steps towards Jesus. Please continue to pray for my dear friend, Jeannie, who is undergoing emergency surgery today. Her body is weak and compromised going into this and the doctors say this is a high risk surgery. Please pray for a successful outcome and that she be sustained and healed. Also for the Lord’s peace and comfort to be felt by her, her husband and family.
I thank you so much.
