Announcements:

WELCOME New Sunday School director Debbie Hoy.
Debbie will be sending each of us a survey soon to better meet the needs of our class.

Prayer Requests:

Rhonda Glanzer - continues to battle Guillian Barre syndrome. She has started a new medicine that is supposed to help with the pain in her legs. Please pray that her body can handle this medicine as she increases the dosage to the recommended amount.

Chrisann Fritscher - just this past week has reduced pain. Will continue to adjust to a focal dystonia in her neck, a movement disorder. Many thanks for your constant support with prayers and meals! Praise God, He can do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think. Healing is completely up to Him, hoping for this side of Heaven and believing He is all about doing His good. He has answered in various ways and one way is how He has kept me in His peace. If you pray, please include Eph. 3:20 and Isaiah 26:3.

Amber Clemens has asked us to pray for the family of Denise Hunter who died of a stroke at age 48. Denise was a school teacher in Robinson so please pray for students and faculty that is so affected. Her husband is the Pastor at Robinson Church of Christ.

Yvonne Minor's sister, Lisa, is going through a marriage separation.

Omar Pachecano - Please pray that he continues to heal from a broken clavicle and that he can sleep at night.

Update for Josh Long

All--I have a update/prayer request for Josh

We just got Josh's labs yesterday and they show that he has a major relapse with the yeast and bacteria problem we identified in 2006. We were quite shocked. He has 18 abnormal scores, severely elevated to toxic levels. For example, his hippuric score is 4020 (normal is 10-400). He has several other problems with yeast, bacteria, krebs cycle, neurotransmitters, vitamins, and fatty acids. Not at all what we were expecting after all the intervention with supplements we have done over the past two years and currently. Please pray for wisdom and healing. Treatment will involve regular IV infusions in Austin starting in July and going back on a prescription anti-fungal medication long-term. We resumed heavy metals chelation as of June after dealing with gastrointestinal problems over the past few months. And an update on health insurance--we were formally denied coverage for our doctors who are out-of-network. We don't really have the energy to fight that battle right now. I have many new concerns as we are seeing emerging behavioral issues that are not normally part of his personality. Lab tests also show that milk is somehow getting in his diet--which he cannot digest, so we are being extra diligent about what he can eat which is already so limited.

Thanks for praying,

Pam

Class Picnic

The weather was perfect for our picnic today at White Hall Park!

Happy Mother's Day Ladies!!

Update from Pam Long

All- thanks for praying.

Josh miraculously was in quite a happy mood this morning at 5:30 am, as we departed for the surgery center for his endoscopy. He continued to be content while fasting overnight until 9am. I knew someone was praying for us! Thanks!

The results show that his esophagus has almost cleared of all inflammation; however his duodenum now has significant erosion. This is a newly identified problem for us since the last scope 6 months ago. This explains why we initially saw improvement, and then starting seeing GI symptoms again. The photos show that there is no redness or swelling with the erosion, which means his impaired immune system is not fighting it. Now we must wait a couple weeks for biopsy results to discuss new meds. Even with this setback, Josh's doctor is confident that we are making progress.

One more prayer request: The night before the procedures, our health insurance denied our request to use an out -of-network doctor based on his expertise with autistic entercolitis. We must now proceed with lawyers into an appeal process to get reimbursed for over $10,000 in past medical bills and for coverage for future bills. This is a big disappointment for us.
