This was received by a fellow Cursillista: Thursday night an 8 month old little girl named Delaney pulled a hot Fry Daddy on her body. Her Mom, Deena, pulled her out of her walker and also burned herself. They lifeflighted the little girl to Scott and White and then to Parkland Burn Center in Dallas. She has 40% burns on the trunk of her body. They are going to amputate at least 3 fingers on one hand and will have to skin graft from her Mom and Dad to help repair her. She is in very critical condition and her lungs have filled with water. They don't know if she will live or not. They say the next two or three days will decide. They live in Florence, Texas and have two other children. They need as many prayers as they can get.

Please pray for our 10 month old daughter Gabrielle who will be undergoing surgery on Tuesday November 27th at 8 p.m. at Children's Medical Center in Dallas to repair a bi-lateral cleft of her hard and soft pallet. We anticipate that it will be a 2-3 hour surgery and a 10-14 day recovery. She will likely be in a lot of pain following the surgery. So, we ask your prayers for a successful surgery and a quick recovery. Your prayers were definitely heard and answered earlier this year after her birth and during her first surgery. De Colores, Jeff and Brandie

Our family is in urgent need of your prayers for the following reasons:

1. My 15 year old daughter, Mary, is 19 weeks pregnant. We just found out a week ago and she is halfway through the pregnancy. The baby is a girl and the doctor says is doing just fine. I have decided to home school Mary for the rest of the year. She is a freshman. Please pray for the health of my daughter, that at this young age she will be able to safely and easily deliver this baby. Pray for the birth father, Joel, and his family who live in Arizona. (Joel is 15 also.) The plans are that this baby will be placed for adoption in a loving home of a couple who has not been able to conceive children biologically. Pray for the couple who will adopt this child. Pray that this can be done without anger, strife and bitterness between our family and Joel's family. Pray that the welfare of this child be top priority for all parties involved. Pray also for my daughter that once this baby is delivered and she hands her over to the adoptive family, that the emptiness left in her heart will be filled with God's love and peace.

2. My mother Margie, 60, has lung cancer. She is not a candidate for surgery because of her already existing respiratory problems. Please be in prayer on Thursday at 8 a.m. She will be in St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa while they do a bronchoscopy to go down at look at her lungs. The doctor has made it very clear that she could die from this procedure - that she could stop breathing. She is very afraid of dying. Please pray for her spiritual and physical healing. 

Love, Teresa

We thank God for our blessings and our struggles.

We ask God to please be with all of us during the good times and the hard times. Remember to offer our struggles up to Him willingly with joy, just like Jesus did.

Also include her husband Jeff in your prayers. We need a miracle for them.

November 18, 2001

Update on Nadine! I went to see Nadine today in ICU at St. Edwards's Hospital in Fort Smith. She was taken off of the respirator for a few hours, but had to be placed back on. She was having trouble exhaling, and had to be placed back on it. Her color looks good, and she so wants to talk but not able to. She has a good grip in her hands also, as she held my hand tightly while I was talking to her. She is far from being out of danger. Please continue to keep her in your prayers. Her nephew told me today the doctor says the cancer is not the factor now, but the emphysemia she has, has scarred her lungs. She is a wonderful lady and my family loves her very much! Thank you, Jan.

This weekend a family member was hit by a drunk driver going 100 mph, and the passenger's side was completely gone. He was not wearing his seatbelt and is not injured, thank the Lord. The drunk driver died at the scene.

Tommy's cousin's wife, Connie, works at a bank and was held at gunpoint and robbed in Arkansas Tuesday. She is shook up, but ok.

Our next door neighbor, Linda, needs many prayers. She is 40 years old and had a stroke this weekend. Also keep her mother, Mabel, in your prayers. They live together and Mabel is very upset.

My good friends, Kathy and Mike, are expecting triplets in a few months and she just found out she needs to be on bed rest and she is only 23 weeks. She asked to be put on our prayer list, that the babies are safe and healthy and she makes it a few more months before having the babies.

God bless all of you and your prayers. I strongly believe prayers have interceded on behalf of these incidents. Please keep my family in your prayers and we continue to pray for all of you!

November 7, 2001

The husband of one of my co-workers just had a biopsy done on a prostrate tumor. His name is Carol. They do not have the results of the biopsy, but previous test have come back with very abnormal levels, and the tumor is very large. At this time, he says he will resist medical intervention if the tumor is cancerous.

His family, especially his wife, is in need of prayers for faith and strength in this process. 
Thank you very much, Gail

October 7, 2001

Pam & David write: Cursillo Family, Your prayers have really worked here at our household and in our lives. I thought some of you may have forgotten to say those "3 Hail Mary's " for my continued Miracle in Progress concerning my Lupus. How unfair that thought was but my test results just weren't good, I broke my foot in 2 places, had incidents of blindness and problem with my feet which made me feel that my faith was slipping. Well, I had another treatment this month and my test results are super, only 4 points under normal. I really believe your prayers and the intercession of Mary has healed me and now the test scores are in to prove it! Your prayers for my mom's ovarian cancer have been heard because she just passed the 1 year mark with no signs of cancer and she was in Stage 3. We are so happy she is still alive and able to be "nanny" to beautiful Rachel. I read the prayer requests that are forward and see so many requests for people in need. Please know that prayers work. God loves us so much and has brought us together as a family to know Him and love one another! May God Bless all of you! Prayers of Thanksgiving for God's Miracle In Progress! For those of you that suffer their is hope in God's Healing love! Hope this brings some sunshine into your lives as you and the Holy Spirit have given many beams of light to us! Thanks!

October 4, 2001

My mother however, was admitted to the hospital last week and they found her appendix had ruptured and the infection had gone into her bowel area. They performed emergency surgery and has been treated with antibiotics since then. She is still recovering in the hospital. They are not sure if she can walk or not, yet. My sister, Lisa has severe displasia and has had a biopsy done. She should know the results within the week. Even if it is cancer, the doctors assured her they should be able to catch it in time. Thank you to everyone who has included my family in their prayers. Please keep praying.....I know it works! Bless you All. -Karen

My Aunt came through her surgery very well. She is in intensive care for about three days and may come home as soon as a week! She is responding to commands to move her hands and feet and recognizes people. The bad news is that this tumor is from the cancer she had in her breast. That means that she has other, smaller yet unseen tumors in her brain. Of course we are believing God for a miracle. Thank you for your prayers! Another friend's daughter Kristen is having heart surgery this morning so keep her in your prayers too. She is a young mother of 3. DeColores Rene

Please pray for my sister Joanne. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and is struggling with the emotional impacts of having a mastectomy. I pray that this event brings her and her family closer to God. Andrea.

My cousin had baby boy, Elijah David. Born on Tuesday, July 17th at 4:42. He weighed 8.9 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. His bilirubin was high; he was sent with a bili-blanket. He is indirect bili. Please pray if it is "God's will" that his bilirubin will go back to normal.
