From Georgia:
my nephew, matthew, approx. 23 years old, stationed in ft hood, two days ago was in target practice. somehow he got shot. a rubber bullet went into the eye socket and is lodged behind his eyeball. they flew him to san antonio for surgery which is now planned for this coming tuesday. they have stitched his eye shut for now to help reduce the swelling. he is in a lot of pain. the docs say that even removing the bullet will not restore his sight, that it will be limited to seeing light and that is all.
his mom and dad are driving with two foster children to san antonio on sunday. this will be a very challenging trip for them with the two kids as there are some disciplinary issues there. but they did not want to "abandon" the kids as they would not understand. his mom is extremely worried...as all of us parents would be if something like this happened to one of ours.
please pray for matthew for peace and courage facing this surgery and following treatments. pray for a miracle that somehow in God's way they get the bullet out and restore eyesight. and that what ever comes, He will be glorified and that matthew will honor Him with praise and thanksgiving..
pray for his parents, safe travel. that the girls are "good" and don't cause them any more angst over what they bear now. pray please for their faith and encouragement and strength. pray that they rest in knowing God is in control and that in trusting Him the results will be borne in Him.
thank you for your prayers. i will give you updates as received.
God is good!

Colleen
from Wanda:
Please pray for Colleen. She is a 18 year old girl who had cancer of the thyroid. Her Mom, Lynn called me on Christmas Eve and reported that Colleen's surgery went well and she was recovering fine. She said the Doctor thought they got it all but they had to test some of the lymph nodes. I have been waiting for news. I finally heard from Colleen that there is cancer in the lymph nodes so she will require radiation. She is going to have a full body scan first to make sure the cancer has not spread anywhere else in her body. Please continue to pray for her. Thanks for praying!

(Answered) Pop
Pop is having cataract surgery this morning. It's simple out-patient surgery but it's unknown how successful it will be because of his macular degeneration.
Additionally, with the pre-op tests, we've found that Pop is at high risk for a stroke (even not during surgery) because of his blood pressure, falling, and heart flutters. They still opted to do the surgery, but we'd appreciate your prayers! Thanks for praying.

Miguel
Jo sent in this request for prayer for Miguel:
Would you please add Miguel Rios to the list. I just found out yesterday that he was in a very serious car accident some time ago. The Jaws of Life were used to get him out of the car. Although he has been released from the hospital there is still some brain swelling.
