**10/18/11 -- (early morning update) Tony has a transplanted liver and the great news is that this hasn't affected it at all. His extreme pain has been from a flare-up of crohn's. The meds and not having anything to eat for two days has allowed it to begin to heal. Still battling the blood clot and he will be in hospital until that is taken care of. Tony & Herma (his ma) thank all of you for your prayers and concern. KEEP PRAYING! (from Joy Stanforth)

UPDATE FROM MAURICE, Thurs. P.M. --
Emmaus
family,
Adam is OK. The chain saw won, but it was minor... The blade went
through the skin and fat at his kneecap, but no tendon or bones were
cut. He received about a dozen stitches. Keep praying that he
learns to be more careful!!!

Gib (Gilbert Whiteside) has gone into the dementia unit full time and is not adjusting well. Gib was on the Wilmington Men’s Walk to Emmaus #23. Gib has been in Carriage Court (in Washington CH) since September 10 and still is not adjusting. I am not adjusting to not having him around and with his anger at being there instead of being able to come home.

Men's team member Danny Morgan had an accident Wednesday, falling off a ladder. He must have done some serious damage to his arms and legs. He had to be transferred form a hospital in Hillsboro to one in Chillicothe
He
broke both elbows, and they plan to replace both of them. They are waiting
for the second elbow to arrive. It did not come Thursday, so they are
planning surgery tomorrow (Friday) if the second one arrives.
He is in good spirits, and not in too much pain
He
won't stay in the hospital very long, so I would suggest that you use his home
address as the return address. He'll get your note/card faster.

Scott Troy OH 45373
And - since he and Kim are unemployed, they have no insurance.
We need to lift Danny and his family up in our prayers.

This
isn't your typical prayer request. I met Vivian Tope when I was an
assistant Table Leader one year and I just loved her to pieces immediately.
She reminded me alot of my very own Great Grandmother that had passed away.
Vivian
will be turning 90 on July 20th. Her Daughter won't be here to share that
birthday with her because she will be going on a Mission Trip type of thing, but
Linda is requesting a Card Shower to help Vivian celebrate her 90th Birthday!
Would you all please put the word out that Vivian LOVES LOVES LOVES cards and
they can send her a birthday card at the address enclosed at the bottom of
this email.
Thank you and God Bless,

Please
keep Kerry Jean (KJ) Friend, daughter of community member Nelda Friend and
sister in law of Heidi Friend in your prayers and consider becoming part of the
bone marrow registry.
KJ
works as a youth director for a friends meeting in North Carolina as well as
aerobics instructor. It was while she was teaching these classes at the gym that
she noticed these bruises on her arms. She could not explain how she got them or
why they seemed to be getting worse. KJ consulted with a retired physician in
her congregation. The physician called her back right away with a doctor and
appointment time for KJ. She received word Monday after Easter that she needed
to get to the hospital immediately, the results from her blood work could not
confirm nor rule out leukemia. KJ had a bone marrow biopsy done to rule out
leukemia only to be diagnosed with aplastic anemia. Aplastic anemia is quite
serious and fatal if not successfully treated. Doctors had hoped to do a sibling
match bone marrow transplant because success rates were much higher than other
treatments. Russ and Raymond matched each other but not KJ. We were told a non
sibling match bone marrow transplant was too risky and would not be considered
at that time. KJ is in the 8th week of a 3 month treatment (ATG) with little
results. They are now looking at a non sibling match bone marrow transplant. KJ
is living off blood transfusions right now as her marrow is making little to
none of her own blood cells (reds, whites, or platelets). A bone marrow drive
was held in North Carolina and one is taking place in Leesburg @ the firehouse
after church on Sunday July 19th. Pork BBQ lunch is being provided with a
suggested donation of $25 to cover the cost of analyzing the mouth swabs of
potential donors. It has been an absolute roller coaster of emotions since
Easter! Pleases keep KJ and her family in your prayers!.

From Jim Blair
Just wanted to let everyone know that Ron Dowler suffered a stroke yesterday. The damage seems to be to his brain...Physically he doesn't seem to have suffered damage, but the CAT scan showed damage to his brain. The Dr said he may regain what is lost or he may not. They are doing more testing this weekend to try to find the cause. He is alert but wasn't able to articulate what he wanted to say. For example he didn't know his name, birth date, or even where he was at. In case anyone would like to see him he is at Mt Carmel West. I don't know the room # as yet as he hadn't been moved from the Emergency Room. I know he would enjoy seeing anyone who could visit. I'll update you all if I hear anything else.

Update
on Tom Rankin….. Please keep Tom and Marlene Rankin in your daily
prayers. Tom was diagnosed this past July with leukemia. He has been
an inpatient at The James Cancer Center from July 21st until
September 18th. He has had 2 extensive and caustic rounds of
chemotherapy before they sent him home. Tom and Marlene have been
returning to The James Cancer Center almost every other day for blood and
platelets and any additional tests that were needed. Yesterday he returned
for a bone marrow test, which was done, but the doctors had to admit him because
he had developed pneumonia.

News of Jim Overstake – some of you may have already received this, but I want to get it out to many prayer warriors.
John M. Glaze,
From: Kay Overstake
Re : Jim Overstake
On June the 11th, my sister Mary sent out an e-mail for me. It said how afriend of ours had a word from GOD saying Jim would be healed. Debbie Mitchell also sent one out too. Karen felt the LORD told her that when the drs. told us that there was nothing else to do, we would see a move of the LORD. But, it had to be when NO ONE could say this cured him or that cured him. It would beevident that it was a miracle, a miracle that only GOD could give. Well let me tell you where we are at. Last week the drs. told us that Jim has tumor or clot in his heart. It has taken up a large amount of the space where the blood flows back into the heart. There is again tumor or clot in the liver either in or pressing against the vena cava vein. Blood can flow down the body, but it can't come back up very well. At the end of May when we were still at home Jim weighed 233 lbs. today he weighed 324. Down 7 pounds from his biggest point of 331. He is so swollen and he can't move very well. He has so much fluid in his body. Last night when he laid down even slightly elevated in the bed I could hear gurgling in his lung. His right lung is almost full of fluid. He is in agony, it's just miserable for him, for us. But still he fights and says he wants to live. Every day his blood and enzyme counts change. Tonight the 2 drs. that have been with us thru this whole hospital stay came in and wanted to let us know that they feel the counts are going down and won't rally. I asked about pulling the fluid off his lung, and they didn't think it would do much for Jim, when they considered the risks. The fluid would come back and he's a risk for bleeding. Plus pnemonia (spelling) would be a possibility. It would be a very temporary fix, for a high risk. So they told us they feel they have nothing else to do for us, and talked about possible nursing facilty care, or maybe hospice care, but we needed to realize that he may not last long enough to even need them. I'm not saying it like they did. They were kind and caring and good to us. These last weeks Jim and I have been waiting for them to say that they are done, that there's nothing left to do. But still hearing it, and seeing the pain in their faces as they broke the news to us, I felt like the floor was dropping out from under neath me. God forgive my fear, this is where we need to be for him to work. Well we are there. Jim will not live without a touch from God. Period. I'm fighting my fears, and waiting expectantly on the LORD. GOD has been with us from the beginning, and I know he's here with us now. Please pray with us and for us and we will ALL see the GLORY of LORD.
Thanks everyone. Kay
