Bethany Empfield

Over the holidays Ann and Bethany were in a car accident. They were stopped behind a school bus when another car hit them from behind. Ann is recovering, but Bethany has pain and trouble with her neck. She has acute muscle spasms that keep her head bent down to her right shoulder as well as a herniated disc with an annular tear. She is unable to lift her head. Please pray for recovery and relief from pain. Thank you!

Thank you all for your prayers. God must have thought it was too early for Alayna to be delivered. When the doctor arrived yesterday he sent me home. He didn’t see any reason to induce me a week early as the PA who scheduled the induction did. So it looks like we will be repeating everything next Friday, if she doesn’t come on her own. Thank you so much for all your prayers!

Susan’s previous surgery revealed the infection was worse then they thought. It goes up her entire spine. The scans of her back indicated that the bones may have fused together in the last several months-- which is good news. Susan is in surgery right at this moment. The doctors are hoping to be able to remove both rods if the bones actually have fused. Unfortunately though, some curvature of the spine will return. One good note would be that Susan felt relief from all her pain after the doctors opened her up. She is on an antibiotic IV to continue to fight the infection. Please continue to pray for her and the family. Thank you!

We would love your prayers on Friday, 1/9. We will be going to the Geisinger Hospital in Wilkes-Barre to be induced. We are grateful for all your prayers through out the entire pregnancy. God bless you all as you have blessed us!

Susan Russell,

Susan Russel had an infection in the area which she had back surgery last year. She went to Danville tonight to be checked out and they took her into the OR to see how deep the infection is. The families prayer is that it will not be any deeper. Please hold her in prayer. Thank you!
