Elizabeth Hoskie: 

Update from her son Reeves on 11/27/20:

Elizabeth Hoskie, wanted to thank everyone for your prayers, those who send her cards, and to those that made a window visit. The telephone number published in an earlier announcement is not in service. Currently the staff at Odelia Heathcare, will attempt use a landline cordless headset for a personal call, but this method in spread out over 30 or more patients; and is slow. You may call Odelia Heathcare at 505-243-2257. Her condition is stable. In 2015 she was diagnosed by a biopsy of a small mass, with stage III myxofibrosarcoma on the frontal upper part of the left thigh. Her choice was to hold to her faith in God, declining radiation and extensive leg muscle removal. In 2018 a new sarcoma mass presented and was slow growing. In the first part of 2020 the mass began to increase, as she began to seek medical help; the COVID-19 Public Health Order, limited her health care and hindered her from quick treatment. The months of delay cause the sarcoma mass to increase where as the only option was five weeks of high intensity Radiation Therapy, with the result of a wound inflection that resulted in a major surgery of Hip Disarticulation. Her surgery was without problems, and had no problems under anesthesia. She is in physical, and occupation therapy for loss of her leg; still, she is weaken, and will receive intensive nursing until her doctor decides when she is able to care for herself. She is under mild pain medication and having bowel irregularities, and has a Urine Track Infection(UTI) that is being treated. She remains COVID free, being in many high-risk locations. She is scheduled to consult with an Oncologist in December to determine if there are any signs of sarcoma residue in her body. She asks for prayers to be strong during the COVID-19 isolation, and for physical strength to return home. She wanted to tell everyone that she is going to be alright, and misses everyone. You may contact Reeves Hoskie at seveerh@hotmail.com if you want any more information.

From  Cherikka Franklin:  Update 10/25/20 Markus is home with oxygen and progressing well. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. I know it's only due to the grace of our Father in heaven.

From Cherikka Franklin: Shakyra Johnson's left side of her heart is barely pumping at all, so they are considering putting in a heart pump. Please pray that there will be another alternative and if not, that all goes well with the surgery.  Shakyria Johnson is in her early 20's, a mother of 3; has an enlarged heart and is in need of a heart transplant.  Shakyria is Cherikka's cousin wife.

Love you all and thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.  Thank you and I love you all and hope you have a wonderful F.O.T!!

Thayne Slater:   09/05/2020 at 06:14 AM (GMT -7) from 67.22.219.250

Thayne had some bad days and some good days this past week. He had some kind of seizure/episode that left him with some speech impediment but we are so thankful he still has what he does. There have been headaches as well. Please continue to pray for healing. Thank you very much.

Thank you for your continued prayers.

 
Love,

Toby & Tina

Notes and reflections:  I Spoke with the Slaters several times this past week and thought I would include some additional information to all the brethren.  Thayne had blood work and an MRI completed on Monday and Tuesday this past week then they all drove down to Houston on Wednesday for appointments on Thursday and Friday.   Toby and Tina remain strong and unwavering.  I spoke with Thayne also and I would like to add to what they said about Thayne showing braveness and maturity.   He also is showing valor, trust and faith in God exemplifying a mature, godly person.
