From Mark Welch, pastor,
Oklahoma City/Tulsa/Lawton, OK:
Novie Booker has been having a lot of pain since her back
surgery. Her surgeon told her that it is
customary for those who have had major surgery like hers to experience
excruciating pain for 6 weeks, 6 months, or even a year depending on how
his/her body responds. Novie has to be on very powerful pain medication to enable
her to function and deal with the pain.
Please continue to remember her in your daily prayers, as she needs
God's strength and intervention to help her cope with her ordeal. She has been
improving some this week and is trying to take as little of the highly
addictive pain medication as possible.
She greatly appreciates your love and concern for her and is approaching
this trial with a positive, hopeful attitude and approach.

From Mark Welch, pastor,
Oklahoma City/Tulsa/Lawton, OK:
Novie Booker made it through her back surgery just
fine. She is hoping to be released from
the hospital on Sunday, July 27th. If she
can move around some they will release her.
She will need to be in a wheelchair for a while, but she will also
gradually do some walking. At first she
thought she would not be able to walk for a couple months, but thankfully that
is not the case. Novie
greatly appreciates all the cards she has received over the past several
months. They have been very encouraging
and your prayers for her are being answered!

From Mark Welch, pastor,
Oklahoma City/Tulsa/Lawton, OK:
Novie Booker will be going into the hospital for major
back surgery on July 24th. The doctors
believe that in time she would be confined to a wheelchair if she did not have
the operation. She has been in nearly
constant pain for the past several months and her condition has been
worsening. She has been told she will
probably not be able to walk for a few months after the surgery. Please pray for God's intervention, blessing
and healing for Novie.
