Terri Kears: The numbness in my

Which is something to be grateful about. I do remain weak which I attribute to
my inactivity for the last several weeks. I appreciate all the positive
support, prayers, encouragement, phone calls, and visits which my wonderful
church family has poured out to me. The Lord is my shepherd, and he is always
with me, and I give him all the glory. I am in his care, and he will take care of
me if it is his will. He will never forsake me. (updated 8/9/25)

Pat Tabler: First, we want to thank everyone for your prayers for Eloise, my great granddaughter and (Craig & Cecelia Tabler's granddaughter, age 6) It has been a heartbreaking time for everyone. She was finally diagnosed on Monday with autoimmune encephalitis, and they started a phase of heavy steroids and immunoglobulin. We were able to see her on Tuesday. It was both gut-wrenching and exhilarating at the same time because we were both talking to her, holding her hand and praying over her for almost an hour. This morning, we got an update from our daughter that things have changed overnight for the better. Eloise is more alert today, has more focus in her eyes while watching her tablet, her cheeks are rosy which is great, and she is only on 40% oxygen. Praise the Lord Almighty! Please keep Eloise in prayer as she has a very long road ahead.
(updated 7/21/25) Eloise is doing much better this morning, after a long night with Brian. She is talking and very alert. She’s still on high flow oxygen but the settings are lower than before. The nurse just removed her arterial line, and we will get her out of bed soon. She’s might move to the children’s floor if a bed opens up later. More good news! All I can say is All glory to God. Hopefully today she gets a room and when that happens, we will send you a request for prayers update.
From Craig and Cecelia. Again, thanks to everyone for your prayers! Eloise is getting better, and we truly believe it is in response to answered prayers. We give all glory to God! She is out of the PICU and in her own room! Totally off oxygen. They are working in many areas with her especially with her strength and swallowing. Lots will depend on her conditioning and PT, OT and others but they will be there for a while.
Our other prayer is that this turnaround by Eloise will lead the parents back to repentance!
7/23/25: Eloise is still pretty weak but has been making great strides every day. Yesterday she was still only on liquids, but this morning she pulled out her feeding tube while Brian was still asleep. We were pleasantly surprised when her Speech therapist cleared her for soft food! She just ate her first meal in two weeks. At this point, we are likely headed to in-patient therapy next week but waiting to hear if there will be a bed at Levine in CLT. There’s a small chance she won’t need to go, but we are planning on it just in case. All praise to God. This is a miracle so far and not done yet!!
7/26/25: They have transferred Eloise to Levine Children’s Hospital
in Charlotte for extended care for her autoimmune encephalitis condition and
treatments. Again, thank you for your prayers and continued prayers. It will be
an extended stay there.

John Appiah: Greetings from my family and Church family. We are all doing
well and hope you are. We thank God for His divine blessings and mercy
throughout the past year. The past year was very challenging. I lost my mom,
elder brother, younger sister and brother-in-law. It all happened between
October- December last year. We finished the burial and funerals late January
this year. It physically drained me, but the grace of God is still sufficient to
us all. How is your Church family? I trust all is going well. We have lost one
of our beloved sisters in the local church in Kumasi. She died of cancer
related illnesses. The burial and funeral will come on this weekend. Stay
blessed in the Lord. In His Service. John Appiah. (posted 3/23/25)
