Pray For Donna Waltz

I have an urgent prayer request on behalf of Marvin, for Donna. As you know, Donna is in California taking classes for her doctorate. She got very sick last week with fever and bronchial congestion and we've all been praying for her. Marvin called just now and said that today she was having other severe symptoms, pain in her abdomen and swelling in her abdomen. He advised her to find a way to go to the hospital. Someone came from the Seminary and took her there this afternoon around noon.

They did many tests to rule out pneumonia, gallbladder, liver or kidney problems. The diagnosis is she has torn her abdominal muscles because of severe coughing. They gave her cough suppressants and pain medication. Hopefully she will sleep tonight, as she hasn't slept for many nights. Tomorrow she will have to make the decision whether to come home or try to continue in her classwork there. She has been looking forward to this week because her class is with Jack Hayford, and Tues. evening the students are invited to his house for dinner.

Marvin has asked us to agree in prayer for Donna's congestion to be miraculously cleared up without more coughing, and that her coughing will be totally surpressed. Also pray that her abdominal muscles will be healed miraculously and quickly so she won't have to suffer with this or have to have surgery for it to heal.

Thanks and blessings,
Lonna
