Congratulations to June & Carter Ashby on the birth of their son, Theodore James, who was born Monday, September 21. Franklin Ashby is the proud big brother. Theodore is currently at Vanderbilt NICU and is progressing nicely while still receiving a “little extra flow” of air through a nasal cannula. June was able to give him his first bottle feeding yesterday. Please continue to pray for his progress.
Melissa Lewis is having hip surgery today in Nashville and will be down several weeks.
June Farris fell and broke her wrist and remains at Cookeville Regional Hospital.
Kyle Dickerson requests prayer for William Albritton, a childhood friend of his from Louisiana. He went into cardiac arrest last week.
Judye Halfing, mother of Sondra Carmen, will receive an injection for her back pain Tuesday. Pray specifically that it works as she is in constant, sever back pain.
Don Galbreth, friend Sondra Carmen, has cancer throughout his body and not receiving well his cancer treatments. He continues to not be able to hold down food and may soon need to be on a feeding tube; pray that does not happen and he begins to heal from the treatments.
David Hafling, uncle Sondra Carmen has a recent diagnosis of kidney disease.
Anne Hubbard requests our prayers as she is suffering from severe cellulitis in both of her legs. She started another round of antibiotics on Friday. Continued prayers for healing so she does not have to be hospitalized.
