This prayer update is from Charles Albrecht (of GCI Church Administration and Development) concerning his mother Bonnie Albrecht who lives in Texas (click here for an earlier prayer request).
My family appreciates the prayers for my mother Bonnie. Since late June, she has been in the hospital and a rehab center – initially for an ankle fracture. During this time she contracted a virus in her spine similar to shingles. This led to a condition that can cause permanent spinal/nerve damage. As a result of these conditions, she has only taken a few dozen steps with a walker over the last 4-5 months.
My mom has now seen several specialists. Their opinion is that her problem is mainly orthopedic. This is welcome news. The neurologist wants her to go to an orthopedic surgeon to have her knee examined. We have also seen a pain management specialist to help her with the tremendous pain, which comes and goes throughout the day and keeps her up at night. On top of all of this, doctors discovered an unusual “bump” in my mom’s neck and have sent that out for a biopsy.
Continued prayers are much appreciated. Please pray about her pain (which is now a bit less), that the doctors discover why her knee is “frozen” and help her regain mobility, and that the bump on her neck is found to be benign (as it seems to be).
