Meryle Wilkerson requests prayers for her daughter Whitney's husband's father (Stephen McDonnell) who will be having emergency heart surgery on Monday at NIH.  He is scheduled to have at a minimum a triple bypass surgery that could end up being a seven way bypass.  He is currently at home until his surgery on Monday.  This is a very serious situation which requires a major surgery.  Please be in prayer for Stephen and for his wife Karla and family during this time.

Meryle also requests prayers for Katie Murphy who we have been praying for over the past several months.  Katie began bleeding internally and was taken to a local hospital where it was discovered that the bleeding was caused by an overdose of antibiotics.  While there at the hospital further testing has revealed more tumors.  Pray for Katie and for her family during this very difficult time.
