Sydney, now 8, has been living with asthma since she was 14 months old. On January 22nd Sydney saw an asthma doctor for pulmonary testing. In layman’s terms, the results showed that the large part of her lungs is functioning at an approximate 60% capacity, the small part of her lungs at a 35% capacity. The preliminary diagnosis is early obstructive pulmonary impairment with preliminary focus on small airway disease and/or early stage emphysema. This diagnosis is not final and will require additional testing to refine. She has tests scheduled for February 3rd and February 6th. The family is hopeful these additional tests will confirm something less scary. Please pray for God’s healing power to surround Sydney, His wisdom for all the doctors, and His peace for Cheri and Dave. Send words of encouragement and your favorite scripture verses to Sydney at prayers4sydney@yahoo.com. She is looking forward to reading them. Also, please forward this to other prayer chains you may be a part of.

REQUEST FOR HELP: Gunther and Maria are looking for someone to drive them to Gunther's next chemo appointment. This would require getting them to Georgetown Hospital by 7:30 a.m. and remaining at the hospital all day until his treatment is completed. If anyone has some free time available and would be interested in helping this family out, please call the church office at (301) 609-8423 to get more specific information.
