Pastor Doug Leonard (update on Kristy)
(Doug Leonard): The latest update on Kristy. (Monday morn, 6/29)
After a ten hour surgery on Saturday it appeared that the liver transplant was successful. The report last evening (Sunday) is really an answer to prayers.
Her new liver is producing bile and is functioning! Her kidneys have also started functioning again and her gastro-intestinal system is working again too. She is going to make it! Please thank everyone at HRC for the prayers. Her family is so grateful for this support. She's in ICU at Columbia Presbyterian in NYC.

Toni Houston (Update on Eric Titus!)
(Toni Houston): Wonderful update on Rev Eric Titus, who has been hospitalized in New York City for a liver transplant since last October.
His wife Nancy says:
Eric got moved to REHAB on Friday!!!! He has a room overlooking Madison Avenue. I saw him yesterday. So far today, he has walked up 16 stairs and gotten his nasal-gastric tube out!!! And he is wearing regular clothes. A big day!! He's got some OT and swallow sessions--he still has silent aspirations, meaning thin liquid like water goes straight into his lungs and he doesn't realize it. That puts him at a huge risk for pneumonia. They will give him some exercises, which we pray will solve this big problem. But he is well on his way to coming home.

Lisa Ruvo
(Lisa Ruvo): Prayers for my mother Carol. She is traveling to Duke University Hospital tomorrow for testing on her vision. She has been dealing with double vision for the past few years and it has gotten to the point that she really cannot do anything. My mom was a very active senior and this has physically as well as mentally debilitated her. Prayers that the testing will confirm Myasthenia Gravis which can be treated. She has already had one operation that did not work. If the test does not confirm this then there really is no other avenue for her. Prayers for safe travels and a treatable diagnosis for her. Thank you.

Rev Doug Leonard
(Doug Leonard): I want to request prayers this morning. (6/27/20)
A member of the Reformed Church of Cortlandtown (the congregation I served several years ago) Kristy Schunk is in need of prayer. She just gave birth to a healthy baby boy a few days ago. During her pregnancy there was a rare enzyme that attacked her gastro-intestinal system, her liver and her kidneys. Her liver and kidneys have failed. She was intubated last night and about ten minutes ago went into surgery for a liver transplant. The doctor just informed us that her gastro intestinal system may have already died. If that is the case, she will die. Please pray for a miracle. Please pray for her body to heal and recover. Pray for a successful liver transplant. Please pray for God's spirit to be powerfully present with her during this surgery to comfort her and give her peace and an assurance of God's love for her. Please pray for the doctors and assistants as they perform the surgery. Please pray for her parents Nancy and Bill and her husband and brothers as they wait for the next four hours. Please pray for their baby, Stephen who is healthy and doing well. Pray for the church to surround them in love and care.
