Kesha (Monley) Campbell, NC

Received a phone call from Kesha on 7/22/08 requesting prayer ...

Kesha is a life-long friend of ours, and also was one of our sons' teacher in 1st grade ... She has been in the hospital on bedrest for pregnancy-related complications for the past two weeks. She is now about 36 weeks into the pregnancy, but has pre-eclampsia. Her blood pressure is fluctuating to dangerously high numbers and she is retaining tremendous amounts of fluid. One doctor will tell her that they should deliver the baby immediately and another will come right behind that one and say no to that idea. Emotionally this is becoming a struggle for her and she stated she gets very depressed in the afternoons particularly. They have told her they estimate the baby weighs almost 5 lbs. This will be her third c-section delivery. Of course, Kesha requests we pray for her and the baby to be healthy.

She also asked me to post the phone number to her hospital room. She asked that you consider giving her a call to encourage her and/or to pray with her. I assured her that we have many prayer partners who would be comfortable doing just that. You can reach her at (910) 291.7261

Michael Monley, NC

REC'D A PHONE CALL FROM ONE OF OUR PRAYER PARTNERS, KESHA REGARDING HER BROTHER, MICHAEL:

Michael is 45 years old and suffered a stroke and as a result had to have an abcess surgically removed from his brain. He began to learn to walk again within two days after the surgery, but still has a way to go with physical therapy and such. He is currently in a nursing home, at least until his sister, Kesha, has her baby. (She is also listed on the P&PU.) Doctors have told Michael the abcess can come back, but we are going to believe with him for complete healing! Thankfully, Michael is a Christian. Let's join in prayer for him!
