	From Linda Fortin................ Please pray for Karen Comstock (formerly Karen Enochs) who had brain surgery on Sunday morning. She attended the Great Banquet a few years ago. I am not sure which one (Ed: 44). She is progressing but will need lots of prayers. Posted 06/24/2010
	From Jean Sutton............. Dan, who attended IDA 4 and was on team last fall for IDA 19, has informed us tonight that his fiance, Cheryl, lost their baby tonight. She was healthy and 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. They are having a hard time dealing with this loss. They are going to get married this summer. Everyone in the families are having a hard time dealing with this loss. Please pray for God to heal our hearts over this loss. Cheryl and Dan are dealing with heavy depression.

	From Nicholas Svetich........ Updated received 07/10/2010 Since the day after IDGB #64 Debbie has been in a struggle for life we have all heard about or experienced before. This last week she was at Rush in Chicago but has become so week that they have had to cease her treatments. Debbie has placed all of her faith in God and looks forward to what ever He has planned for her. While she is too week to accept calls she clearly is ready to receive the benefit of all of our prayers. Nicholas Svetich (IDGB # 49, table of Luke) ******************** Updated received 05/18/2010 While, like many before her, Debbie Nicholson (IDGB # 64) is just beginning down the path of initial surgery, treatment and long term recovery…the results of last weeks exhaustive testing is that her problem is localized and therefore offers much hope for short term recovery and long term health. Debbie knows of the outpouring of love from this community and that the timing of her attending #64 just a couple of weeks ago was no coincidence. It will likely be many weeks before she can deal with any form of direct contact but continued prayer for her during this very difficult time is what she is relying on the most. DeColores! Nicholas Svetich (IDGB # 49, table of Luke) ******************************** Debbie Nicholson who has just attended the banquet is having emergency surgery today (05/05/2010). Please say a prayer for her successful surgery and a quick and lasting recovery Warmest regards, Nicholas Svetich Posted 05/05/2010
	From Lisa Pavlopoulos........ Brothers and Sister in Christ, Kathy Ragon went through the Banquet in the fall. Her 4th day consisted of spending the afternoon at the hospital after getting a call that her son, Jay, had had a seizure. Jay is scheduled to have brain surgery on Monday, January 18th in Indy. Please pray for his doctors, peace for him and patience for his family. Thank you. Lisa Pavlopoulos Posted 01/17/2010
	From Matt Soliday....... Calling all prayer warriors! My stepson Ty is 14 years old and was diagnosed with epilepsy approximately 3 years ago. Since that time, Ty's seizures have not been able to be controlled. Therefore, Ty's doctors have decided to try surgery to control the seizures. Recently, Ty has undergone the first stage of surgery to see if he will be able to be cured. The first surgery was on January 13th, 2009. During that surgery, the doctors removed part of Ty's skull and attached EEG leads to his brain. Ty's anti-seizure medication has been stopped and his seizures are going to be induced so the doctors will know exactly where the seizures are coming from. They will then "Map" the vital areas of the brain and then determine if they can remove the area where the seizures are coming from. If the doctors can remove the area of the brain without there being any major problems they will perform the second surgery on January 20th. However, if it is determined that there is too great of a risk, the surgery will not be performed. You can follow his healing at www.caringbridge.org and type in tybalon. Please pray for him.

	From Betsy Kastak.......... Dear Friends, Please keep Dian and her family in your prayers as they have suffered two major losses since Thanksgiving. Dian’s brother Larry Spitz died yesterday morning from a cardiac arrest in the Minneapolis suburb of Fridley. He was helping a neighbor start a car and collapsed. The family also lost Glenn, her mother's companion of 12 years, who passed away the Monday after Thanksgiving at the age of 91. Larry and mom were with him the night before, having a beer and playing scrabble. Dian’s mother is coming up to Chicago from Arkansas today and the family is gathering to make funeral arrangements. Larry lived in Minneapolis for the past 15 years so they will likely travel up there to have a service with immediate family and Larry's friends. Larry was 62, the twin of Dian’s sister Mary who died about two years ago. He was a very unique individual living in Minnesota doing projects for his neighbors, mostly the elderly, as a handyman. He loved people (his ability to talk to anyone, especially strangers, was amazing), and its not surprising that he was helping out a neighbor at the time of his death. Dian’s sister Pam talked with his landlord who spoke of how Larry was loved and will be missed by all the people in the neighborhood he helped. He will be missed by the whole family. If you would like to send a card to Dian’s mother, she will be in the Chicago area over the holidays spending part of her time with Dian and back in Arkansas around the first of the year.
