PRAYERS AND PRAISES

Ken Bolkema re-entered Sanford Hospital in Luverne on Wednesday due apparently to a negative reaction to a new medication. Pray for the Lord to restore his health again soon.

Continue to remember Glenn Van Essen, Carol DeKam and Lillian Mouw in prayer as they continue to heal from their recent surgeries. Also pray for Josephine Gunnink and Nick DeBoer with their weekly chemotherapy treatments.

Jordan Christians experienced an extreme drop in his platelet levels early this past week after coming down with the flu. The platelet levels have improved since then through the use of prednisone. However, this indicates that the chemotherapy he received has not killed off his blood virus. Pray for Jordan and his doctors as they consider whether to try further chemotherapy.

I would like to thank everyone for the prayers and visits while in the hospital for also for my birthday wishes received. Thanks for the food also. – Alma Rozeboom
