SHOWER SCHEDULED FOR:

PRAYERS REQUESTED:

Bobby Nations, now at home recovering from surgery procedure on Tuesday, July 14th, to replace the stent for his brain aneurysm; although they were unable to get the steerable catheter because of production issues, the doctor decided to proceed with normal equipment; the procedure was successful and Bobby is doing well; thankful for the prayers and this incredible gift from God, and request continued prayers that the stent stays in place and there are no complications. ennifer texted at 1:00 am that Dr. Goyal just called and said that everything with the aneurysm and the stent looks good. The small stroke was probably caused by part of the aneurysm shutting down and clotting a small vessel in the back part of his brain (near the aneurysm). They are going to keep him overnight and evaluate on releasing tomorrow. Dr. Goyal doesn't expect the vision issue will go away quickly, but it is not big enough for a "clot buster".

Martha Benafield, aunt of Veronica Veltman, had an appointment yesterday, July 16th, at West Clinic to begin her Jak 2 cell treatments every two weeks to lower her red and white blood cells and platelets with a new Jak 2 inhibitor that will hopefully not make her so fatigued; also planning an appointment with her eye doctor and working on getting hearing aids; thankful that she now lives with Veronica so she can be helped with her daily care; requests prayers for her quality of life to improve.
