Our Prayer List
for our friends in distress (Updated 2/10)
Many of those in our patrol family, or their family members, are suffering through the hardships of cancer treatments or other life threatening illnesses. A complete prayer list of our friends in distress can be found on the Member's Page.
2/10 - We recently learned that retired Major Richard Rucker was readmitted to Riverside Hospital a few days after celebrating Christmas at his home. Rich is being treated for pancreatitus and gallbladder issues.
2/10 - Kidney donation and information about coming fundraisers for Matt Geer can be found on the Member's page. Matt is continuing dialysis treatments several times per week, continuing through the kidney donation process.
2/2 - UPDATE from Pat Ashbridge, surviving spouse of retired Captain Walt Ashbridge and mother of retired AP 1 Lori Kaple.
"Thank you all so much for your prayers and well wishes. It's been a rough few days, but I know with all of the prayers coming my way I will be on the path to recovery. Couldn't have got through without all of your prayers."
1/23 - Ret. S/Lt. Lance Mathess is recovering at home after undergoing TLIF surgery. TLIF stands for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. Surgeons do TLIF to relieve chronic lower back pain that happens when intervertebral disks put pressure on your spinal nerves. In TLIF, surgeons replace damaged disks with bone grafts. The bone grafts create new bone that helps fuse or join the vertebrae. The surgery went very well but Lance must wear a back brace with very limited movement over 6 weeks and then further restrictions for another 6 weeks.
Information to send cards of encouragement can be found on the Member's page. Prayers are always encouraged and appreciated. If there are others in our patrol family that are in some type of distress or difficulty please let us know so we can add them to our prayer list.
