Greetings to All,

Tuesday, Jimmy had a successful surgery.  His left kidney, ureter and part of his bladder were removed and there was not any cancer in his lump nodes.  He is cancer FREE. PRAISE THE LORD!!  The doctors had to cut on him a lot more then the standard operation so he is pretty uncomfortable at the moment.  He is in critical care just for observation.  He is getting wonderful care.  With God's grace and time he will heal.  Thank the Lord.

We both want to thank everyone for your love and yours prayers.  We have felt your love and your prayers all alone and still feel them.  This community is awesome.

I would ask you to continue to pray.  It means so much to both Jimmy and me.

May the the peace and joy of our dear Savior be with you all.

Some of you may know, and some of you may not, but we are in need of your prayers for our daughter Katherine.

 
    Katherine has been in a wheel chair for a month having lost use primarily of her left leg, and with a weak right leg. To spare you many of the details, we've been working with her pediatrician, ER doctors, orthopedists, physical therapists, and a neurologist (where we are currently) and have had a plethora of tests ranging from blood work and x-rays to an MRI and others, to discover what's going on.  While we have no answers yet, we have a major test scheduled this Thursday, 11/5, with the neurologist, and are asking for your prayers that in its results, we receive more answers than additional questions.
 
    The support of our family and friends have aided us so much in the past, and we are calling upon you now to lift up Katherine, and ask our precious Lord to help her doctors determine a diagnosis and a plan for her healing.  Your prayers have been and will continue to be our strength and support in this challenging time. 
 
    Wishing you peace and love,
        Vince & Kris Michels and family

NOTE: Kris is Sue Peterson's sister.

1)  Many of you may remember Gail Hozman from St. Lawrence, she worked on team several times but moved to Florida.  She

lost her husband, Roberto 10/04/09 to a massive heart attack.  He was just 58.

2)  Prayer Request for the Horan Family, John Horan’s father passed away yesterday (Wednesday).  John and Benita will need all the prayers and support during this time of loss.

3)  Also Dave Dickson from Newnan area, he is 62 years old and has cancer in the stomach, backbone and pelvis.  He was given 2 months to live.

4)  Of course continue to pray for Liz Rovneyko that her treatments are successful.

Thanks and God's Blessings be with you, Glenn
