MEDICAL
Ruthanne Redfield: Ruthanne was admitted to Northside Cherokee Hospital last Friday after suddenly losing the ability to walk. Her medical team is running extensive tests to determine the cause, and she is relieved to be receiving answers. Please pray for clarity in diagnosis, effective treatment, and a full and timely recovery. Remember her family as well.
Beatrice Sage: Bea, Patrick Boyle’s 58-year-old sister in New York, recently completed radiation and chemotherapy for stage-four throat cancer, diagnosed in September. The treatments caused significant loss of weight and strength. She will undergo scans next week to assess her response to the treatments. Please pray for full remission, no spread of the cancer, physical strength, and overall restoration. Total healing!
Rosemary Lisby: Rosemary received an epidural injection intended to calm the nerves affecting her back, leg, and foot. She has experienced numbness for several months, but her medical team indicated that improvement may begin within the next two weeks. Please pray for complete healing and restored mobility, including the ability to drive again. Also remember her husband, caregiver and driver, Greg. He’s doing a great job!
Tommy Bradford: Good news: Tommy’s lung congestion from a respiratory infection has fully cleared. He continues to struggle with hoarseness, however. Please pray for full healing of his voice and strength to return completely.
John Wood: John continues treatments for pancreatic cancer in a three-month clinical trial in New York City. Please pray for the success of John’s treatment, relief from pain, and complete healing. We also ask for strength, peace, and comfort for John, Alicia, and their entire family.
Grace Brown: Grace is undergoing immunotherapy for lung cancer through daily medication and periodic infusions. Thanks be to God that the treatments are working—the lung tumors have significantly decreased, and several lesions in the brain and hip have shrunk or disappeared. Side effects, however, have become more challenging, including rashes and fatigue. Please pray for healing, for manageable treatment side effects, and for ongoing peace and strength for Grace and her family.
Susan Boling: Susan continues to recover well from hip replacement surgery and has been able to get out more. We rejoiced to see her smiling face at Wednesday’s church potluck! Please continue praying for full healing and the return of mobility, strength, and overall health.
Virginia Ann Edwards: Sister Edwards, Bo Edwards’s mother, is 91 and lives alone in Columbia, South Carolina. About ten days ago she fell and fractured her left hip, leading to a partial hip replacement. Family members, including Bo, are alternating caregiving responsibilities. Please pray for her full recovery and for those who are ministering to her.
Calli (Bo Edwards’ sister): Calli is back home and improving after spending several weeks in a mental health facility in Charlotte a couple of months ago. Please pray for continued healing, renewed motivation, and peace within her home, especially as she and her husband care for their special‑needs son.

OUR SICK AND SAINTS AT HOME
Please remember in your prayers the following GC members who have ongoing health issues and are generally unable to attend worship services:
Bert and Joyce Blackwell: Pray for Bert’s declining health and for Joyce as his caregiver. Joyce says that they continue to hang in there. Melissa Boyle is helping to coordinate meals; you may sign up to take a meal at mealtrain.com/trains/yrzl3k. Feel free to send Joyce a text of encouragement (no calls, please); she so appreciates it.
David and Carolyn Wheeler: David says this week, “We are walking by faith. We are doing as good as we can, keeping our doctor’s appointments, and looking at more MRI tests. Thanks to everyone who is praying for us!”
David cannot be around large crowds due to his weak immune system. He is battling cancer in both kidneys as well as prostate cancer. Thankfully, neither has spread, and we pray that this remains the case since surgery is not an option for either condition. Pain management is currently under control. David credits Carolyn for keeping him alive—she is a wonderful caregiver. They continue regular doctor visits as Carolyn also faces health challenges, yet both maintain positive attitudes. David and Carolyn welcome calls or visits.
Esther Johnson: Esther continues to face Parkinson’s disease and related health concerns. We are grateful that her recent heart catheterization revealed no cardiac issues, which helps rule out causes of her fatigue and shortness of breath. She has begun a new oral medication that her doctor hopes will help restore strength and improve breathing. Please pray that she tolerates the medication well and experiences real benefits. Pray for renewed stamina, easier breathing, and a better quality of life—and for Russ as he cares for her.
