Al Thiel (10-26-19) Al is the son in law of Jim and Dorothy Ashby. Jim has
asked that our members please pray for Al. Al has been stricken with an
extremely critical medical condition and he has been hospitalized almost a month
for an Aorta replacement. He was in ICU seven days. A few days after being moved
to ICU he required emergency surgery for a resection on his colon and he has
been in ICU since. Jim reported late yesterday that Al would possibly be moved
from ICU to a regular room within a few days and prayers already lifted were
working. Al and Jim's daughter Jane are the owner's of Pasadena Printing and
for many years they have provided our HPROA "Pride Wear".
Most of us have seen Al and
Jane at our meetings and reunions selling HPROA apparel. Prayer warriors,
please join Al's family in praying for him.
Lisa Kennedy (10-23-19 rh): We contacted Chuck to check on Lisa and he
advised she is still fighting cancer. He stated a year and a half ago she was
first diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. She underwent surgery and received
chemo treatments. After completing the chemo treatments it was believed that the
cancer was gone. Six months later the cancer came back with a vengeance,
invading other parts of her body. She is now on round 14 of chemo
treatments and her cancer count is down, but she has been in severe pain.
Chuck stated she is one determined and strong lady. Although it is hard, she
continues her work as a school counsellor. Please continue to lift up
prayers for Lisa and Chuck.

Terry Scalise: (10-16-19) On October 8, 2019, Terry fell from a ladder while trimming a tall shrub in his yard. Terry said he fell on the grass so he thought it "was not to bad". He was wrong, he fractured both his tibia and fibula and displaced his knee. As a result the will be wearing a brace on his right leg and no weight on the leg for a month. He will then go back to his doctor for an evaluation. The doctor stated that surgery was to risky for the area the injury was located. Terry advised that prayers are needed and phone calls are appreciated. His number is 325-388-8249. He said that Dianne is taking great care of him.

Harold Krause:(10-9-19 nf) We visited with Harold today and he reports that he completed his chemo treatment plan in August now waiting for results of PET scan which hopefully will bring to an end to all further treatment and allow him to regain his strength and good health.

David Sheetz:(10-7-19 nf) We visited with David via phone and he advised that on
10-1-19 he had knee replacement surgery which did not go as expected. Initially,
the was post operative pain and bleeding that took a couple of days to control,
then his oxygen level fell to concerning levels all of which required his
hospitalization until 10-6-19. He is now at home taking his meds hoping for pain
free and speedy recovery. We pray for that outcome also.
