Roger had emergency treatment for fluid retention at a Charlotte hospital and is recuperating at home. Gene is having circulation problems and is scheduled to have a catheterization Friday.

Michael Smith has improved and is recuperating at home.  James Barker and Betty Lou Richardson continue to improve but remain in rehab at Iredell Memorial Hospital. Faye Stroud continues to rest at home while under treatment for cancer. Bob Lewis continues to have in-home Hospice care.

Join us in prayer for the Lord’s divine healing and blessings upon Priscilla, Frances, Roger, Gene, Michael, James, Betty Lou, Faye, Bob, and other residents who are having health problems.  Continue to pray for the many families affected by the coronavirus.  Please pray that folks will wear masks and social distance when outside among others so that many lives can be saved.
