Three Prayer Requests

First, for our friend little Daniel. We talked about him in an earlier post. We received an update this week and he needs all of our prayers. Daniel's granddad reports, "Bottom line on what's up is that Daniel simply is not sleeping, and his eating is also becoming a challenge. He gets maybe 4 hours of sleep per night, and sometimes less. And his naps during the day are sporadic and erratic. It's amazing to Carol and I that Mike and Laura (M&L) are awake at all, because their sleep is practically non-existent as they deal with this." We ask for prayers for the entire family including Granddad and Grandmom.

Then our little Joseph. He has had several ear infections with temperatures that rise to 104 or 105. On Monday they will be operating on him to put tubes in his ears. We ask for prayers for Joseph, for Kara and Brandon, and for the doctor.

Finally David. On Monday, September 15, he will go in for an operation to remove his prostate. Cancer was detected at a very early stage and the doctor and surgeon agree that the chances that the cancer has spread are minimal. This is the same operation that his brother, Rick, had 2 years ago. Rick is cancer free 2 years later. The recovery is initially about 3 weeks, with some prolonged after effects. We ask for prayers for David and Joyce, as well as for the surgeon.
