June Prayer Requests

I am aware of two children at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital right now that need prayer (same hospital where Nathan’s heart surgery took place).

Colleen is awaiting test results on her son, Tommy, who has recently received a heart transplant.  Doctors are testing for possible cellular rejection and should know if this is the problem by tomorrow.  Tommy has been returned to PICU; his family is understandably distressed.

Also, remember the family of Lindsay Dean, born last year with HLHS or Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.  Little Lindsay received a new heart earlier this month, but her heart stopped yesterday morning.  She has been placed on ECMO.  Pray for her and parents, JR and Suzie Dean.  [Posted June 16, 2009]  Update:  Lindsey is home!  Follow her progress at http://lindsaysheart.blogspot.com/.

My friend, Donna Miller, is requesting prayer for 9-year-old Hunter, son of her colleague, Cheryl.  Hunter, born with pulmonary hypertension, is autistic and has ADHD. “Hunter has recently developed a ‘butterfly’ rash which is a sign of Lupus,” Donna says.  “They are seeing a Rheumatologist on Monday at Tulane.”  [Posted June 18, 2009]

Pray for three-year-old Brooklyn Keller.  She was rushed to Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg with high fever and an abnormal blood count.  [Posted June 23, 2009]
