Prayers Needed

I am sad to report that Holly passed away this afternoon about 2pm central time. Please hold Mitch, the kids (6 and 10) and their families up to God in your prayers.

Update....ARNIE..... in surgery today

I just received this note from my DS & DDIL who are helping Arnie and Cheri thru this very difficult time of their life. Today is the surgery. I ask for concentrated pray today and in the days to come for healing.

Please visit the blog below and leave a comment so they will know how many people care about them. How cool would it be for them to receive messages from all over the world. Our worlds are so small until we see how people from all over care about us in a situation like this.

Note; on the right side bar of the blog are two links, where you can send a gift to the family to help with financial concerns.

Note 2.....the quilts are in progress, and of course my machine is giving me fits (it needs prayer, too). I will post pictures to my blog for all to see once they are done, thanks to everyone who has helped with this project.

Hello everyone, I pray this e-mail finds you all well. As some of you know my dear friend Arnie has cancer and is having surgery today.
Please keep him and his family in your prayers. We have created a blog @ www.krahfamily2008.blogspot.com
Please feel free to post comments/prayers for the family and I will be updating as often as I can.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FORWARD THIS WEBSITE TO ANYONE WHO MAY WANT TO VISIT IT.
(Word of mouth seems to work or in this case e-mail)

Thank you so much and God bless you all.
Michele

Update on Arnie & Blessings

I have to tell you all what a blessing I have received. I put out a call to 2 of my quilt groups (online) for help with making a comfort quilt for Arnie. Do you know that these wonderful ladies have supplied me with? A completed top, two complete kids quilts and blocks so now the whole family is going to be comforted. I am just so touched by the generosity of you all.

Now to give an update. Arnie will be going into surgery on the 16th, your continued prayer support is so much appreciated.

Here is a note from my DDIL, Michele......she is heading up fund raising for Arnie and Cheri.


**********
I have set up a paypal account to receive donations. All the banks I called require giving out the account number to
people to make donations and they have to have an account to do it over the internet, really dumb if you ask me.
But after looking into several other places I have set up a paypal account to accept them. The fees are small.
If anyone would like to make a donation they can at www.paypal.com and send the payment to e-mail address
krahfamily@yahoo.com
Thank you all!!! Michele
***********

If you feel lead to give a donation, here is the info and I thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart. The insurance will only pay a portion of what Arnie will need, they are contacting the cancer society also. God Bless you all for what your doing to help.

Hugs
Gail

Prayer Request ---Update

I want to thank everyone who is praying for Arnie. I have an update, it is not very nice.

*********
Hello everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update on Arnie. Cheri had to rush him into the hospital yesterday morning

He was in alot of pain and very swollen. Cheri said by the time they got to the hospital the cancer was oozing from his eye.

They have admitted him and they have in on some very strong pain meds so at least he has been able to rest.

The doc is going to move his surgery to the very first part of the week next week ( I will keep you posted)

Also please say a prayer for Dillon and Hailey they are going to be telling them about the face deformity tomorrow.

The phys say they should not tell him about the cancer just yet so that will be another blow when they do. I know

kids are resilient but I am very sure this will be hard on them. God bless you all. Love you. Michele

Thank you for your continued prayers.

Urgent Pray Request

I am asking for prayer for a friend of our family. This is a really hard one to write about.

Please pray for Arney. He has just found out he has cancer, Arney is 40, he is married to Sherry and they have 2 children under 10. What makes this cancer so ugly is that it is in his face. They are going to do surgery which will remove the whole left side of his face, eye, teeth, jaw and down into his neck. If he doesn't have the surgery they give him 4 months. With the surgery he will also undergo chemo and radiation.
You can imagine the emotional turmoil this family is going through. Not only the cancer but the very public deformity. How do you explain these things to children?.
Of course he will no longer be able to work and doing the things he loves, will be at the very least be on hold until he can be rehabilitated again. Will he be able to talk?
Insurance is only going to pay for part of it so now they worry about losing everything.
Please add this family to your prayer list, share this request with all you know.

Several years ago I asked you all to pray for my friends GD and you all spread the word and she is now a happy normal 2 year old. So I am asking for the same for Arney.
