An update on Tom T who is recovering from kidney surgery. He has
been doing remarkably well. He had a kidney removed that cntained a
cancerous tumor. The tumor was intact, so no followup surgery was
needed. Praise be to God.

I have prayer requests for my nephew, Andrew, age 6, who suffes with
autism. He developed Tourettes Syndrome late this summer. My sister
asks for prayers.

A woman by the name of Kathy S is recovering from brain
surgery, and has a severly autistic daughter who is dependent on her.
I'd like to pray for a speedy and full recovery for this mother.

And lastly, my husband's 47 year old nephew, Stephen L, has been
suffering with a debilitating kidney diease that will require the
removal of both kidneys, and a heathy kidney transplanted from his
brother, Michael. The testing phase is taking place. We pray the
surgery will be successful for both Stephen and Michael. And that
Stephen accepts the new kidney. He hs been on dilysis 3 times a day
for 4 hours each day. He has not been able to work. He's been
struggling with discouragement. I sent him information on the
benefits of Redemptive Suffering, and "Offering Up" our sufferings for
the benefit of others. M
