New Prayer Request and Update

Linda Heid writes and requests prayers for Jarad (and his parents Mel and Jim, good friends of Linda’s sister Valerie) who is 32 and is in the ICU at St. Ann’s with a heart attack and is on a ventilator. Some of this may or may not be covid related. Apparently survival chances are low.
May God be merciful to Jarad and save him from this devastating outcome. AMEN
Also: Bob Baker, Linda’s daughter Brandie’s father-in-law, has been released to an extended care facility for continuing care and on-going renal dialysis. He has had a remarkable recovery so far from his initial problems. His son Brent will be back home in Delaware shortly.
Thanks be to God; and may Bob continue to improve. AMEN
Linda thanks the prayer warriors of St. Peter’s.

Prayers for Bob Baker

Linda Heid asks prayers for her daughter Brandie’s father-in-law Bob Baker (and for Brandie’s husband Brent Baker).
Bob Baker was transported to a West Coast hospital yesterday evening with a cardiac problem. Heart catheterization could not be immediately performed because of blood clotting problems which are being corrected. He is also in renal failure. It is hoped that a heart catheterization can be done sometime in the next 24 hours.
May our merciful God grant Bob an uncomplicated procedure and receive definitive treatment, as well as restore his renal function; and support his family in their distress. AMEN
