Bobby McVey: Bobby met this week with a newly referred thoracic oncologist at Emory, who is conducting a comprehensive evaluation, including brain and spine scans, following the recent discovery of a lesion on his liver. There is concern that his previous cancer may have mutated, so Bobby is resuming chemotherapy along with an additional treatment.

Please pray for the effectiveness of this treatment plan, that any remaining cancer will be eliminated, and that the treatments will be well tolerated with minimal side effects. Please also pray for peace and for both physical and spiritual strength for Bobby, Carrie, and their family during this difficult time. May the Lord grant healing to this dear brother.

During this visit, his medical team will conduct additional testing and administer a one time radiation treatment to a spot on his spine. John has also experienced some abdominal fullness over the past few weeks, which will be evaluated and addressed.

Alicia is thankful to be able to travel with John during this visit. Please continue praying for John’s complete healing, and for peace and strength for him, Alicia, and their entire family. What a blessing they are to all of us!

Bobby McVey: After recovering well from lung cancer, two cancer spots were later discovered on Bobby’s back (vertebrae). This led to back surgery several months ago to stabilize a weakened vertebra affected by one of the spots.

Since recovering from surgery and completing five recent radiation treatments on the back to eliminate any remaining cancer cells, Bobby is experiencing significantly less back pain. His pain has decreased enough that he is now off pain medication, sleeping well at night, and able to do his own physical therapy. Bobby’s next scan is scheduled for May 12. Please pray for a clean scan and complete healing.

When we asked, “What should we pray for?” his response was: “Praise God!” Bobby’s heart is overflowing with praise and thankfulness!

Wanda Quattlebaum: Several weeks ago, Wanda fell and fractured her femur just above the knee. After extensive surgery, she is now in rehabilitation.
Here is husband Ray’s update:

"Wanda was evaluated again last Thursday to check her progress. While it’s been slow, they’ve approved her to stay in rehab a few more days, with a possible discharge around Monday (still to be confirmed). The plan after that is to bring her home and continue therapy with home health care.
 
She’s doing okay overall. Her appetite is still not great, but she’s doing her best to keep up with physical therapy—it’s just been challenging.  Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. Please keep her in your prayers."
 
Please pray for Wanda’s continued healing and for Ray. Pray that the insurance company will be very accommodative throughout Wanda’s recovery.  May the Lord grant them strength and perseverance.

“Wanda is steadily progressing, but it’s been slow. She’s still dealing with a lot of pain, which is making things more challenging. She has been able to do a little walking during physical therapy with a walker—not much yet, but it’s a start. She’s getting pretty comfortable using the wheelchair, but the goal now is to transition her more into the walker so she can build strength and eventually work on steps to come home.

We’re not sure what insurance will decide next, so I may need to keep advocating for more time. For now, we’re just taking it one day at a time. Please continue to keep her in your prayers. We truly appreciate all the love and support—it means more than you know.”
