Prayer requests submitted by Debbie Hopkins:
Prayer # 1 My niece Natalie has had a rough few weeks. After her Gamma Knife procedure she returned home and had to come in to Emergency due to severe headaches. Ct Scan and MRI show several areas of inflammation in her brain one of which is quite large. She was started on steroids after which she started her new treatment of Chemo. She then had to return to the ER with the same symptoms and is currently on steroids again. Please pray that the steroids would be effective quickly so that she can continue with her chemo. She had a procedure today to install a chest port where they can administer the chemo indefinitely
