AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:
9/6 – Jewells45 had bad news and needs prayers. Her CT scan indicated several nodes on her lungs, too many to count. It is very probable that she has lung cancer. Her husband is devastated, and she is scared to death.
10/5 Update - She is at stage 5 and has some in her bones, mostly around the spine and rib cage. Her doctor is phenomenal. He said he can’t cure her, but he can treat her and says she could live many more years. Treatment will involve chemo and immunotherapy.
10/6 Update – The PET scan of her bones was not nearly as bad as she feared. It should be manageable with radiation. She is very relieved!
10/8 Update – Jewells sends prayers for all her horde friends and continued thanks for your prayers. She is at stage 4, but the oncologist (who is fantastic) says it is treatable, and Jewells isn’t going anywhere for a while! Her brain MRI is 10/20 (prayers please, that this hasn’t spread). She gets her port put in on 10/17.

9/10 – Greyman27 requests prayers for his lumbar fusion surgery on 9/15, his third surgery in 19 years to fix low back/nerve issues. He is hopeful that this turns out to be the permanent fix his surgeon believe it will be.
10/19 Update – Greyman27 sends a sincere thank you for your prayers. The surgery went well, and the follow-ups have been very encouraging. He’s experienced excellent improvement over the last two weeks.

9/15 – SanFranpsycho asked for prayers for an immediate and speedy recovery for his cousin Phyllis, who was seriously injured in a fall this week at her assisted living center. She is almost 90 and lost her front teeth and broke her nose.
10/8 Update – Phyllis is out of skilled nursing and recovering back at her assisted living home. Her cognitive decline is noticeable.

10/8 Update – Paul has a port in and begins his first round of chemo next week. SanFranpsycho will visit him next month.

She also suffers from increasing memory loss. Nora was with her when she fell, and blames herself. Addie was in rehab for 4-5 weeks but was discharged last Monday. I pray for improvement.

Romans 8:26-27
26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
