Phil, I have waited until I got the word on Allen's surgery before I updated this prayer request. He was scheduled for surgery on Monday, but the surgeons wanted more time to confer and decide. Now the surgery is scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday). It is Allen's birthday today. Thank you. Pastor Mike Wilder
Friday 9/4Yesterday Allen underwent a 2nd surgery to set the leg. His injury left the leg completely broken off above the ankle and protruding through the flesh. His ankle was only attached by flesh and some tissues. The leg has been reset but requires much more intensive surgery from a major hospital. This afternoon he will be transported by ambulance to Northwestern Medical Center in Chicago. The surgery will probably be early next week. Pray that it can be done Monday or Tuesday even though it is Labor Day on Monday. If not they will have to redo what they did surgically yesterday. He will be in Chicago for about a week if all goes well. Then he will be placed in a nursing home or brought home with with home care medical professionals. This will require six weeks or more of intensive treatment. He will need to lay on his back during that time with very limited mobility. Jeannie is required to be home to continue her chemo therapy.I thank all of you on their behalf for praying. The biggest concern remains healing from surgical wounds due to his kidney failure and diabetes. If he cannot heal then there will be dire consequences. Ask the Lord to provide this healing.Many blessings, Pastor Mike

Jeannie just called and reported that Allen's surgery is over. The Dr called her and believes that the surgery went as well as can be expected with all the circumstances. We rejoice that the surgery was able to be done. He is in recovery. Jeannie will learn more later this evening. Pray for her too. She is exhausted but happy the surgery is now complete. blessings.

Subject: Allen Mashbern Update
Good news from Allen and Jeannie Mashberns. Allen foot is attached, it has color, and the veins are pulsing with strength. The next surgery will be by the plastic surgeons on Monday to graft skin to the leg. He is still in much pain from the surgery so ask the Lord to ease his pain today. blessings, Pastor Mike
PS. I just received word from my daughter Lisa Fox in Effingham that Kim Burry has been rushed to St John's hospital in Springfield. She is the wife of Bill Burry, associate pastor of New Hope Church in Effingham. Kim is on life support and not expected to live without God's intervention. Pray urgently for this great need.
Your prayers are working.
Allen's surgery scheduled for 1PM today (Monday, 9/21) was postponed until Friday. All the Dr's were ready today, but the plastic surgeon decided to wait until this coming Friday September 25. This was a big disappointment to both Allen and Jeannie.
I'll let you know more when I hear. Tomorrow is Jeannie's chemo treatment.
blessings, Pastor Mike Wilder
