Jane Ruhleman
Submitted By: Lin Reavis
Jane, Ben's 1st cousin and more like a sister, 53 years old, had a stroke on 3/7; she can't talk and has paralysis on her right side. On 3/11, Jane had surgery to relieve pressure on her brain. A “window” was removed to be replaced later. All went as expected, but she will probably be in ICU for 4-6 more weeks. UPDATE: (3/14) From Jane's daughter, Savannah: "Just returned from the hospital visiting Momma, she was taken down on the sedatives again and is still following simple commands, squeeze my hand, wiggle your toes, hold up 2 or 1 fingers, she was also waving. She is definitely improving but has a very long road ahead." UPDATE (3/18) Jane had a good day all in all. They cut the ventilator back to a CPAP level, this is the level people use at their home for sleep apnea, for 2 hrs and she did good. Then the machine was turned back up. They will do the same thing tomorrow. Still on go to be moved from the ICU to a long term acute care system within the same hospital. One of the strokes occurred in the speech center of her brain which could impair her ability to speak. This area is also close to the part of the brain that controls swallowing. when she is moved they may need to insert a tracheotomy tube for her breathing and a feeding tube in her stomach so they can remove the feeding tube from her nose. We will know more as the week goes on. They hope to move her the first of the week. Please continue to pray for Jane, she has a very long way to go.03-19-2012

Submitted By: Karen
Karen writes, "Continue to keep my parents in prayer. They are in Nigeria - and there have been some bombings over the weekend and threats by Muslim radicals. I have no clue where my parents are in relation to where this is. I have only had one e-mail from them about a week ago. Internet connection is not great. I have to trust the Lord - He is in control and I know they are serving Him." UPDATE: (11/23) Karen reports that her parents returned safely from Nigeria last night and is looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with them. Praise God for his faithfulness to his children!11-23-2011

Pat Lucy
Submitted By: Gilbert
Pray for Pat as she continues to provide support for her family. Her daughter Michelle is suffering the effects of narcolepsy and may have to go on disability. Her brother is some better and her sister is working part-time. However, they all are in need of advice, wisdom and support -- and Pat plays a big part in all three areas. Pray that God will grant grace to Pat and enable her to do the things that she must do while lending support and encouragement to her family. Of course, she also works and is raising Sean and Ashley.04-28-2011
