Please remember Keisha's grandmother in your prayers. She has been put into the hospital with possible congestive heart failure and kidney problems. Please pray for her and the family at this time.
If you click on Ethan's link there is a very long list of Ethan's Friends that can also use your prayers. No child should ever have to have cancer and no family should have to face that kind of thing. Thankfully we have a strong and powerful God so please pray for these kids.
Continue to remember Mandy as she heals and her family member dealing with bone cancer.
Remember my friend Donna's brother who is having medical probelms and seizures.
Please pray for my sister as she is in the process of making huge life changes as well as a move. I am praying these things will bring her closer to our Lord.
Please pray for all of the kids on the sidebar who are dealing with reflux and GI issues. Right now researchers are working on new medicines for delayed emptying that do not have neuro side effects so keep this important work in your prayers as well. It could mean definite changes in the quality of life for a lot of these kids.
Specifically remember Quinn who was admitted to the hospital today due to her GI issues and possible infection...
Praise God that no one was injured in our horrible storm this week. We have a lot of huge limbs down and had a small fire but eveyone is safe. It is a complete miracle! Pray for Melina as she continues to have nightmares due to the storm and fire. The little girls really didn't understand enough to be scared (a huge blessing, in my opinion).
I am not big on politics but I think it is important to pray that whoever becomes president will be a guiding light for His way and will help get this country where it should be.
We are staring a bible study on the Psalms of Assent so please keep that in your prayers as well.
Love you all.

Updated June 19th
Please pray for the Sewell Family~
Kenneth's older brother is stationed in Iraq. His brother recieved a call early this morning that his wife had been killed in a car accident and will be traveling home as soon as possible. I can't imagine how hard a trip this will be for his brother. Please keep the Sewell family in your prayers.
My friend Jenn's dad is having a colonoscopy Tuesday. Please pray for good results.
For us~
Please pray for Ella's upcoming evaluation in August and for the decision between surgury or medication that I need to make soon.
Continue to remember the missionaries, PAGER babies and others needing prayers on the sidebar!

Prayer Requests UPDATED (finally).
Kristie sent this update on the Bell baby:
I just wanted to give you all an update on little Connlay Bell (the baby born with the brain tumor). I heard yesterday that he recently had a full body scan and there were no signs of any clustering cancer cells. That is wonderful news since the cancer he had was so fast growing that they would have been able to see by now if it was coming back. He is able to take a bottle now and no longer needs the feeding tube. I did not hear anything about whether they have changed his prognosis, but I would think they would have to after such a good report. He does not make sounds yet, but the part of the brain that was affected by the tumor is the part of the brain that controls speech...so hopefully it will adapt and he will eventually be able to make some sounds. He still doesn't cry either so I'm not sure why that is.....but, when I get another update I'll keep you posted. Thanks to all for the many prayers....they have helped!
Please look at the reflux kidos on the right sidebar. There are several that are doing well right now. Kennedy, Maggie and Nate are doing wonderfully. Mila is also doing well after her heart surgery and had gained weight and improved cardiac function. Several are dealing with feeding aversions and sensory integration disorders due to their child's constant pain. Quinn has also been dealing with ALTE (Apparent Life Threatening Episodes) related to sleep apnea. The insurance is not being too helpful in covering her medical needs (oxygen mask etc). Please keep all of these things in your prayers.
As you know, we have had our own battles with reflux, aspiration, FTT, delayed gasteric emptying and sensory issues due to pain management. These kids are going through what our two GERDlings have dealt with and more. They have such a special place in my heart and I love them all like my own. Please please pray for them to be healed and be able to have a "normal" life. Pray for these parents as they care for these children and as they mourn the ideas of what should have, or could have been. That can be almost as hard as dealing with the illness. I personally would ask that you pray that God will give me the right words to comfort and that He will use me to guide these families closer to Him during these trying times. I can not imagine dealing with what we have with out Him leading the way.
Thank you all for reading this and for praying for these families. Sorry about the big drop off in posts. The glitch is "fixed". If you have any prayer requests send them along.
Love you all!
