Neil Maly had emergency surgery for a brain tumor. They did not get it all and Neil will be taking chemo and - later - radiation treatments. He is a believer and knows God’s wisdom is perfect! Thank you SO MUCH for praying for Neil. (Joy Dotson’s cousin)

Updates

Don Lepczyk will be starting chemo on Oct. 31st., for two days every two weeks.

Prayer requests for Don - that he will gain weight and also that his bilirubin level will be normal. We have seen your prayers answered as Don goes through this momentary light affliction and we thank you for your prayers, prayer warriors!

Natalia Hervis has an appointment with the children’s dental specialist today. She has 5 upper baby teeth that need to come out. Options are to pull the 5 baby teeth and wait for the permanent teeth to come in (could be as long as a year) Other option is to have 5 baby teeth root canals. This would protect her teeth from getting infected (they all will eventually get infected). Of course, when the permanent teeth come in it will push out the baby teeth.

Prayers for a good decision.

Late-breaking update:  The dentist said he will not do the root canals.  He is going to pull the infected tooth for now.   He stated if the others develop an infection they will deal with that when it occurs.   The infected tooth has a bad root; the other 4 teeth, the roots are fine. So the one bad tooth will be pulled for now.  Great answer to prayer

Steve Swedberg Steve (91) is continuing physical therapy for his hip replacement surgery recovery and is making steady progress. He moved across the state to live with my niece for the winter so he won't face the harsh Montana winter alone. (Sherry Bingham's brother-in-law)

Carey Willits Carey's wet macular degeneration has been holding steady and hasn't required an injection for almost a year. He has been tentatively scheduled for a Walkman cardiac implant surgery in December pending insurance approval. His dental procedures are moving along very slowly as he has had his teeth all removed but still hasn't had the implant procedure done. Thank you for continuing to pray for Carey. (Sherry Bingham's brother)
