The Kalm family, Barbara, David and all need prayer, and ESA love.
Last message sent was that surgery was fine and David heading home.
Did not happen.
The Surgeon did not get it all. The family seeking a surgeon to
go back in to get rid on more of the nodes on his thyroid. Insurance gets involved and
surgeon who did the surgery has left on vacation. A nightmare.
David is very depressed, not in pain and will be happy to get home.
David did NOT get home as previously stated to you all, but was
sent home TODAY from hospital... around 7 this evening--the 13th.
Barbara requesting prayer for the strength for all to get
through this set back, and move forward.
her address is:
1130 Mai Kai Drive, Merrit Island 32952.
I will keep you updated and will be her contact person.

Reported by Jan Billias, Nu Alpha., regarding her granddaughter:
Athena was hospitalized t his morning. She has suffered for 3 or 4 days with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. She was discharged from the ER yesterday morning after hours of lab work and a CT scan, which revealed nothing. She returned this a.m. worse than ever, and they finally did an ultra sound and saw what they believe is a large gall stone which obstructs her common
bile duct. She is having a nuclear study at 1:00 today and will be consulted by a gastroenterologist and/or a surgeon.
Please keep us in your prayers. The news for my immediate future was not good yesterday, but we will speak of that another day.

IC Chaplain's Report
August 4, 2019
Every major faith has a call to prayer, whether it is the ululating melody of the Adhan being called out by a muezzin from the mosque five times a day, the pealing of bells from church towers, the sharp sound of the Jewish shofar or the exotic timbre of gongs at Hindu and Buddhist Temples. These calls encourage their believers to set aside the stress and trials of daily life and focus on what can help lift them and encourage them to be their best self. I encourage you to take time this week to set aside the worries of daily life and using whatever “call to prayer” you chose to focus on what can uplift you.

IC Chaplain’s Report
May 2019
Richest wealth is wisdom.
Strongest weapon is patience
Best security is faith.
Most effective tonic is laughter.
And surprisingly all are free.
“May the stars carry your sadness away,
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty,
May hope forever wipe away your tears,
And above all, may silence make you strong.”

I guess it is time to finally put the Hansens on the prayer chain.
Yesterday, Eldon was terribly hateful, not physically, but mentally. I pray this isn’t starting a new stage with his Alzheimer’s because it has always been fairly peaceful. I see him several (at least four or five) times a week. Our son saw him Saturday and finally realizes how bad he is, he thought I was exaggerating. His body is really strong, but his mind is almost gone. If you have any extra prayers, please pray for little one for me, as it is really hard seeing him this way so often. He is in really good care, so I don’t have to worry about that.

Margaret Shook, Chi Epsilon, has an update on Walt and is requesting prayers for Walt. He was able to have chemo even though his blood levels were not good. His platelets were 77 and they want it to be at least 100. Since being on steroids he has developed steroid diabetes and is now on insulin. His blood pressure was 81 over 51, so they gave him saline which did make it improve. He has discontinued his blood pressure meds for the time being. His main problem seems to be extreme fatigue and shortness of breath. They are asking for prayers that the effects of the chemo will lessen and he will be feeling better soon. Thank you for your continued prayers for Walt and Margaret.
