UBC Prayer Updates for December 14, 2023

Get Well

Additions

Donna Bombard Besson     Breast scan shows Donna has a mass on her left breast and needs further testing to determine the right plan of action for her. She is having trouble with insurance but was scheduled for a doctor’s appointment today. Donna is a believer and has turned this over to God. She is at peace and claiming God’s promises and His timing in all things. (Frances Cox’s daughter)

Michael Besson    Michael has A-fib that the doctors have not been able to stabilize. He has an aneurysm in the aorta that they are unable to treat because of his A-fib. Even the critical test that he needs can not be done because they cannot stabilize his heart enough for the test. Please pray that the doctors will get his A-fib under control to deal with the aneurysm and for a positive outcome. He is a believer and has put his faith and trust in our Lord to lead him through this.  (Frances Cox’s son-in-law)

Ralph Freedman    Ralph is in San Diego for a 'simple' heart surgery procedure to create a "flap" for fluid to drain naturally. Thank you for prayers for this to go smoothly and without complications.  He will have to drive back to Vegas with his brother, with God's perfect timing.  The surgery is today Thursday December 14.  Thank you for these prayers (Daria -- Ralph is my best friend’s brother, and he is a believer.)

Updates

Carey Willits is going in next Thursday for a Watchman implant procedure which is a surgery to close the left atrial appendage of the heart and prevent blood clots from escaping in people with Afib. Please pray for the logistics (as well as the procedure) as he has to travel to Seattle for the surgery.  Thank you. [Sherry B.'s twin brother]

Ken Sessions    Two weeks ago Ken had a bone scan to check and see if there had been any changes since his previous scan was done last year.  Good news from his cancer doctor -- no changes. His doctor will continue to monitor Ken's blood work and continue him on hormone therapy.

Linda Russett    Linda tested positive for COVID and it is an intense bout. Lift up her boss for understanding.  Linda needs prayer support to word smith segments of setting up her performance goals and has to be done in December. 

Deletions

Greg Mordin    God answered prayers for his pain relief after stents were taken out.  This Wednesday morning he reported with surprise "no pain".  Thank you for prayers that everything progresses with continued healing for him.

Catherine Pai     Catherine's thyroid medication is balanced now. She feels good and has no more dizziness. Thank you for all the prayers.  

Gunner Lang is home safe and sound.

James Sponheim is over COVID and fever-free with no seizures! Thanks for your prayers for James.  [Al/Sherry grandson]

Bill Murphy is cancer-free! Thank you for praying for Bill. [Al/Sherry neighbor]

Steve Swedberg has recovered well from his hip surgery and is living with his daughter for the winter. Thanks for your prayers for Steve.   [Sherry brother-in-law]
