IC Chaplain’s Report
Happiness keeps you sweet.
Trials keep you strong.
Sorrows keep you human.
Failure keeps you humble.
Success keeps you glowing.
But only the Creator keeps you going.
Little HUGS can dry big tears.
Little CANDLES can light the darkness,
Little MEMORIES can last for years.
Its’ the LITTLE THINGS in life that bring the
GREATEST HAPPINESS.

Carol Reinhardt, Gamma Lambda-Manhattan: I am still asking for prayers for my 92 yr old father and my family. The doctor told them on Saturday Nov. 24th that he only has "Days" left.
On Tuesday Nov. 27th, he signed himself out of the hospital and into hospice care. He has been in a lot of pain and we believe the cancer is winning this battle. I am traveling to Texas along with all my sibling to see my dad and say "Good Bye". He has
not been eating, so we do not know how long he has. Thank You!
Asking for the prayer warriors to give attention to Lindsey,
a sister of Tiffany Rilley of Epsilon Pi Chapter in Pratt. Lindsey has recently given birth and they found a brain tumor. She is starting her chemo today 12/4/18. Please lift Lindsey up in prayer for a successful treatment so she can raise her babies
and remain with her family. Strength to meet what is ahead is very necessary for the family.

Debbie Colvin’s husband, Monty, suffered from a couple of seizures around the week of Thanksgiving. This is an UPDATE on
Monty from Debbie (Theta Omega).
Monty’s loss of blood required 2 blood infusions and was caused by Two Lesions in the stomach. The doctor burned the lesions and then stapled. The doctor was very surprised of the amount of blood in his stomach. It took quite awhile
to clean the blood out of his stomach before he could find what the culprit was. He coughed so much blood up to start with that I didn’t think that there would be too much more in his tummy. They are not sure what the cause of his seizure is YET! He also
has nasty rashes in his knees, elbows, hips and his Derrière. They are testing on what it is or what the cause is. They also have his low blood pressure up but not where it should be. He’s lost almost 10 pounds in two weeks. He can finally breath without
having to fight to breathe. His COPD has been quite naughty lately! They are in the final stage of moving him from the ICU to a room where possibly he can get some much needed sleep.
Debbie and Monty’s address: 1011 Tom St., Vermillion, SD 57069
