UPDATE on Makhi: From his mother's emails it appears the Endocrinology team they saw around Thanksgiving determined that Makhi has a damaged pituitary gland, which has prevented him from growing normally. The plan is to return in February for an MRI and testing to see how damaged his pituitary gland is. Then if they think it’s worth it and has a chance of working, he will hopefully start growth hormones. But since he has no fat, they can’t do the daily shots like normal growth hormones. The FDA approved a once a week shot, but insurance will probably fight it because it’s so expensive. Thank you for praying for him!

UPDATE/PRAISE REPORT on Marilou B.: She has been home since Tuesday and reports she is doing well, having PT, eating and sleeping better, and believes her mood and mental clarity are better than they had been for quite a while. She's sure all the prayers for her have been a big reason why, and she's endeavoring to read God's word more and draw closer to Him. Praise the Lord! Thank you so much for praying!

"Jamila" has several grown children and is shocked to be pregnant again at her age. She came to CompassCare wanting information on abortion. Her ultrasound exam revealed an early pregnancy, but no heartbeat could be detected at this point. Jamila was tearful at the sight of her developing baby. She said her mind and heart are at odds, but insisted she must get an abortion. Her nurse shared the gospel with her, letting her know she does not have to walk through her situation alone. She declined the invitation to surrender her life to Christ. She then asked her nurse to recommend a local abortion provider. When her nurse reminded her of the agreement she signed at check-in stating CompassCare does not provide or refer for abortion, she ended the appointment and left. Pray Jamila's baby is protected from abortion and the seeds of the gospel planted in her heart take root and grow. ------- "Danielle" came to CompassCare wanting to know how far along she is in her pregnancy so she can choose her abortion method. Although she initially said she has to get an abortion, she vacillated throughout her appointment and mused aloud about "keeping the baby." When Danielle heard her baby's heartbeat, she felt drawn to him. However, she said she is still thinking abortion is best. Her nurse assured her she has time to consider her decision carefully. She took her ultrasound pictures and every brochure offered to her. When discussing the gospel, she said she believes in a higher power but is not ready to surrender her life to Christ. Her nurse is encouraged by Danielle making a return appointment. She writes, "May God do a work in her heart this week to change her mind." Please agree in prayer for this child's life to be saved from abortion.

UPDATE on Isla McAlpin (from 12/16 CaringBridge): Isla’s fever broke early afternoon yesterday (Wednesday). This morning she slept until almost 11 but she woke up renewed. We watched movies, made coffee for the nurses, and even went out in the hall and rode a tricycle around. Her counts were also up today! Her ANC was up to 198 from 0 for the last four days. This is HUGE and an answer to prayer. Her platelets continue to drop, but we are believing in prayer they they will be next to follow. Pray with us specifically:
-numbers to supernaturally increase and hit counts over the next 6 days to be able to begin round three of chemo on schedule (any time between now and the 22nd would be considered “on time” but we have confidence that she will start when God says she will and that will be in her best interest)
-continued protection over her body
-no bleeding
-no fevers
We know we are not alone. We are so thankful for you joining us in prayer and petition for our sweet girl. Every day of smiles is a gift I cannot even describe. God is making our difficult path bearable.
Further UPDATE/PRAISE REPORT: Got a surprise this morning (Friday)-we are going home for the weekend!! ANC was 554!!! Platelets were down, but they’re transfusing her now and will check levels Monday! Pray specifically:
-restful time home
-no fevers or bleeding
-counts to be ready for round three early next week!

"Candie" came to CompassCare feeling ambivalent about her pregnancy. She and her fiancée would like to have a second child, but their first is only a few months old and they hadn't planned to be expecting another baby right now. Candie said her pregnancy was very difficult, as was her labor and delivery, which gives her pause. When discussing her spirituality, Candie said she does have a relationship with God. She said her values "make this a hard decision." She agreed to come back for a second appointment. Pray Candie's conscience is awakened to the reality of abortion and it becomes unthinkable. Pray this preborn baby's life is valued just as much as his older sibling's life. ------ "Abby" is a high school student who is worried about telling her parents about her pregnancy and cried throughout the appointment. She and the father of the baby think abortion is the answer to their fears. When Abby heard her baby's heartbeat, she became emotional. It was difficult for her to learn the details of chemical abortion. She again said she cannot imagine telling her parents she's pregnant. Her nurse provided her with a brochure on how to share the news of an unplanned pregnancy. Please pray for Abby. She has no faith background and declined surrendering her life to Christ when presented with the gospel. Pray she and the father of the baby are drawn to Christ and this baby's life is spared from abortion.

UPDATE on Isla McAlpin (12/14 CaringBridge): Isla has been a bit more active and feeling a bit better these last few days which is a complete answer to prayer. Tonight she’s feeling a bit worse, slight fever. We’re praying that passes while she sleeps and turns into NOTHING else! We need her body to rest and recover! (She is supposed to start her third round of treatment on the 16th, but her body is not recovering like it needs to for this to happen.) Let’s ask for more miracles for sweet Isla!
Pray with us specifically:
-No fever development
-No more virus or infection
-That she can come off antibiotic in the next day or two
-Rest for her body
-Counts to hold steady and improve
We appreciate your constant prayer, thoughts, and messages.

Please join me in prayer for my colleague "Z". We have been praying together for a few months (in my office). She is very ill, not covid, not cancer, but very ill and is receiving treatments. The illness is progressing and it breaks my heart to see her suffering. Please pray God's will for a miraculous recovery. Thank you.
