Anna had the endoscopy on Thursday and the doctor did stretch her esophagus and wants her to start eating mashed potatoes! That is such good news! There is some bleeding following the test, but we are praying that will clear up soon. She had two wonderful nurses who had prayer with her while she was there. What a blessing that was! Anna really appreciates the prayers of so many people in her behalf.
Jessica, the friend of Marilyn Koblentz's niece, has been diagnosed with a large cancerous tumor on her liver. Marilyn received an update today: "Jessica has been sent home to die. The family is devastated." Jessica is the mother of a new baby, so this is especially hard on the family. Also, we are not certain about her relationship with the Lord. So, please pray for Jessica for physical needs, as well as spiritual concerns.
Update from Dianne about Darrel: “…he is up for the first time today and taking a few steps and is now sitting in a chair. They plan on doing more Physical therapy tomorrow and have him walking.

We were praying for Suzanne, Ed Milson's sister, in recent weeks. Carol Milson gives us a praise report about Suzanne: She is doing very well, walking around the house with her walker, and gaining a few pounds.
