Prayer Requests

I have three prayer requests. I'll try to keep it short here but if you want more information on either story just let me know and I'll email you.

1. Our friend Shaina's sister, Erika. She had a baby about a month before Colin and has had serious medical problems ever since. Shortly after she had Callen, she developed a very severe case of pancreatitus. She was hospitalized for weeks and had her gall bladder removed. She has since been able to move home but her recovery is very slow going. Please pray for her continued recovery and strength. Please also pray for her family as I can only imagine how difficult it is for them to have to not only deal with this but also raising a newborn.

2. Shaina's friend Lindsay. She's a mother of two small children in her upper 20's who found out she has breast cancer again. She is having surgery at U of M on Friday, April 4th. She will be having a double mastectomy, lymph node mapping, sentinal lymph node biopsy, and reconstruction, all in one surgery.

3. Mike's dad. As many of you know, he has been having problems with his hand for the past few months. It has continued to get progressively worse. It appears they have finally found out what is wrong. It's an autoimmune problem but they are unsure on treatment at this time. Please pray that treatment can be found and he can regain the use of his hand.

Thanks in advance for the prayers. As it states in John 5:16 "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."
