Sylvia's Requests

Please continue to pray for “Z” - the mother of twins who is contemplating aborting them.  Supposedly there is an I LOVE ABORTION group that will support her financially in the decision to go through with the abortion.  There are so many who would love these babies……my heart breaks.  

Speaking of twins - not sure if you have heard about the young couple who became parents to twin girls - the young mom Jenna is gravely ill, having been dx with a cancer that started in the placenta.  Her husband Brandon is in the military but is able to be with her.  Please pray for Jenna and Brandon - for their precious daughters and all who are caring for them.

day 24 post transplant

21 hours ago

Hello to all!  Feeling a bit cut off from the world as Alex has only been able to go to and from the Duke Clinic since February 28th.  

Alexs lab reports have been good however, his kidneys have been showing a slight strain. He has been getting a few hours of saline a day to help flush them out as the medications that are preventing other things are causing this.  

Soon we will get cell growth results of what percent of cells are his and what percent are his brothers.  this growth will continue for a while however a preliminary result will give us a sneak peek of how his brothers cells are doing on taking over Alex's body.  We pray for a high percent as we want all cells to be Joshs. 

Alex has been riding the stationary bike 4-5 miles a day even though he has felt horrific he has great determination to continue healing and rebuild his body.  God gives him this strength!

We have met a few couples who are undergoing similar treatments with similar diseases and we ask for your prayers for them as well.

Thank you to everyone for your amazing support.

Subject: Fw: PLEASE ADD LEVI TO THE PRAYER CHAIN AT ST. THOMAS

It is Angie Funk again asking to add my grandson, Levi, to the prayer chain at church.  If you remember, he was born 2 months premature on Dec. 22nd and your group was praying for him at that time.  He is now doing well, up to 9 lbs, but is going to require (2) surgeries.

The First operation is for two hernias which is being done  at St. Christopher's hospital in Philly this Monday, March 31st.

And then a second operation at the same hospital on April 24th to Un-fuse the lobes in his forehead that the Neurosurgeon is  doing.

Thanks again.

Angela M Funk
