Bro. Calvert has been recuperating nicely at home for the last 2 weeks following his surgery. No visitors have been welcome until his incision is completely healed and his immune system is up to par. Yesterday, however, there was a drop in the healing process. He had a very high temperature and was somewhat delirious. He was taken to St. Luke's and was treated there with tests, scans, etc. It is believed he has a blood clot in the lower half of his lung, which explains the delirium, due to the lack of oxygen to the lungs. Treatment for this would be surgery or blood thinner. Surgery is not an option because of the location of the clot and blood thinner will carry some kind of risk because of the tumors in his brain. Blood thinner is the only option right now and once his primary doctor gives the okay, that is the treatment that will be chosen. Please pray for Pastor.
Sis. Silene is home and recuperating from her surgery earlier this month, she does have an infection in the incision and is being treated with a special antibiotic that is unique to her needs. Please pray for Sis. Silene.
Sis. Karen Brewer is also in the hospital because of an infection in her blood. After given a steroid shot last week, an infection in her body that had not been apparent before, feasted on the sugar that the shot produced in her body and became very aggressive. She is conscious, but has alot of swelling in her body. She is being treated in the hospital now. Please pray for Sis. Karen.
There are many other needs throughout the church family and we ask that you would keep them all in prayer along with these particular needs. A lot happens quickly with these types of situations, so we will do our best to keep everyone informed.
