Request for prayers from Linda
Sue Lyons, PGO Laurel Springs #227 Linda has relocated out west to be with family. In a lengthy email she highlights the struggle of her 11 yr old granddaughter Yael and her eating disorder, and the sorrow it has brought the family. Here is the last paragraph: "My original intention in writing you this email was to request prayers for strength and healing, yet as I have watched this living hell unfold I feel it is just as important to make you aware of this devastating disorder. If your child starts experiencing dietary changes that seem extreme in nature please remember this email and consider their change as a red flag to get help. We deeply appreciate your prayers, thank you." God bless- Linda Sue Lyons |

Message from Diane Schmolze, PGM I saw the Dr. and she showed me my xrays, I got to see my hinges. I expected not to be so sore still, but it’s all part of the procedure. I told her I’m not angel, but my back feels like I was one and someone cut my wings off. She thought it was an accurate description. There is a lot of muscle to cut through, so that explains the pain. Progress is slow, but I’m on the right time line. I have to start physical therapy; I finished my in- home therapy, so I’m looking for a place down here in Forked River. It may be another 2 or 3 months before I can drive. I woke up very sore this morning, but after getting poked, prodded and hit with the reflex hammer, I’m not surprised. I need to wear a compression sleeve on my left arm; since it’s been almost a year, there could be permanent nerve damage, but let’s hope time will improve that. Any progress is progress and you know me – no patience. Hope to be able to get out and about soon. I think I’ve read as many books as there are in the local library, but need more. I’ll see what physical therapy allows me to do. Thanks for all you have done for me and please thank everyone for their cards and prayers. |
