Update from Karen Hunt

Please continue to pray for Gerald. We are still trying to get his knee replaced. Going on 5 years. He is now having his heart worked on. He had an angioplasty done where they found 2 arteries blocked. One was 90% blocked and the other was 98% blocked. They fixed the 90% blocked one and went in on Jan. 28th to repair the other one. He had that one "roto rootered," like a plumber digging out of blocked pipes. Pray for us to have travel mercy. We will be in San Antionio at the VA Med Center. Kent is doing well have he had a bone graft done about 5 weeks ago. We are enjoying watching his kids play basketball. Next week he goes to the doctor, where they will work on getting him to bend his knee. He hasn't been able to do that since his surgery. Norma, my sister had shoulder surgery in Oct and is now in rehab for that. Thanks so much for your prayers.

Please pray for strength and comfort for Mrs. Louise Hunt. She has moved to Canadian to the Hospice there, but she is not doing well. She needs our prayers. Thanks for all your prayers for Juana and I. I am getting around better. I still have to walk on my heels but I'm doing pretty good. God is Great. Brother Jerry had a real good sermon this morning. Praise the Lord.

Prayer for strength and healing

John had back surgery on December 23rd and I chose to not mention it much because we thought it was going to be in and out with no problems. However, I am reaching out to ask for prayer from our church family for his recovery. He is not bouncing back like always in the past. He has had a high fever for 5 days off and on and has no appetite nor energy at all. Right now we do not know why. He just honestly does not feel good. We feel, like maybe the two back surgeries were too close together and he over did a lot of activity before this last surgery and he is having difficulty recovering. Our family would like to please ask you to lift him in prayer for strength and healing. God Bless you all. We know things could be much worse, but I sure want to see that smile and energetic person again.

Thanks,
Haltom Family

Pray for strength!

I worked for a wonderful Christian man in Louisiana who is now laying in M.D. Anderson hospital in Houston. I am requesting prayer for God's will. This man is strong, but when I talked to him today on the phone he sounded weak. I ask him if I could put him on our prayer list and he said please do. So here is the request, he has the cancer of the lungs from breathing asbestos it starts with an M but I can't spell it. It has spread from his lungs to the rest of his body they are taking out organs that I thought you had to have to live. So for Joe 14 please pray for God's Will to be done. May God Bless.

Pray for healing and strength.

Please be in prayer for Rhonda Stafford and her family. Rhonda’s mother, Floydean Shook, had surgery last Thursday morning to remove a tumor from her colon the size of a football. Floydean came through the surgery and recovery very well; however, when the doctors tried to remove the ventilator she went into cardiac arrest. They have revived her and have her in a paralyzed state until tomorrow when they try to take her off the ventilator again. Please pray for Floydean for healing, for Rhonda and her brothers Rex and Eddie Shook and for their families during this difficult time. Diane Ball and Melody Boswell

Pray for relief from the pain.

Please pray for my wife Juana, she is having so much trouble with her knees, she is in constant pain. She is supposed to see the doctor soon, but I do not know when. But if you would just pray that she could get some relief until she can have surgery I would appreciate it and that we will find a doctor that will do the surgery. Thanks for all the prayers for me these last few months they were greatly appreciated. Now I need to get Juana well. Thank You in advance.

Pray for safe travel and answers

Gerald's total knee has been postponed. He failed the Thallium Stress Test last Wednesday! His Cardiologist saw something he didn't like. He called this afternoon with the following news. Leave in the morning for San Antonio VA. We have to be there around 1 PM @ admissions. The angiogram will be the next day...we think, after talking with Admissions in San Antonio. We aren't sure of anything else on the agenda. We'll see when we get there! We plan to have a good Thanksgiving where ever we are! (The plan was to eat with Kent & family.) Hopefully we will be back for that. Please pray for our travel safety and the procedure. Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! Don't eat too much Turkey! May God Bless You.
Love you all,
Karen & Gerald

Praise the Lord!!

Dusty is doing better and should make a full recovery. If her therapist says that it is okay, she might be released today. Please keep her in your prayers, now that she is going to have to learn how to live differently on a day to day basis. She will have to have insulin shots daily – they are teaching her how to do it today. Thank you and God Bless.

My sister-in-law’s niece, Dusty was just rushed to Amarillo. Dusty is a little 9 year old girl. She is in diabetic shock and is not doing well. Her parents and her Dr. did not know she had juvenile diabetes until today when she went into shock. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. Thanks and God Bless -Iris McDonald

Pray for strength and healing

Mary Lou Armstrong and Larry Pirkle's great-nephew, Taylor Obenhaus lives in Vega. He is 7 years old and is having his second aeorta heart surgery today. Please pray forthe doctor and the family.

Just wanted to ask for you to lift up in prayer, Gerald's brother, Jimmie Hunt. He and his wife, Gerry, went to Michigan last week to visit his daughter, Shawnda & family. A couple of days ago we got word that Jimmie fell and sat on his ankle, breaking it in 3 places and dislocating his ankle joint. He had to have it repaired at 10 AM, Texas time Nov. 3rd. He will have to stay off it for 2 months. Luckily at the hospital there, they have an on staff Orthopedic Surgeon that specializes in ankles. They will fly back to Post as soon as he is able to fly. My sister, Norma, had surgery on her right shoulder the 26th of October. She is doing very well. Today I talked with her and her pain only got up to a 2. The only other time she was in the hospital was when she had her 3 girls!!!! Unbelievable!! If all goes well, Gerald will have his total knee replacement Nov 30. He has to have a chemical stress test before the cardiologist OK's the surgery. Our son Kent Stephens will have surgery on his right knee around the 18th of December. Thank you for your prayers. I know prayers work because a year ago the circulation in Gerald's legs was 50%...now it is 75%!!!
Love to all,
Karen Hunt
