From Steve Moody, pastor, Jackson/Memphis, TN; Sedgwick/Little Rock, AR:
The
age of miracles has not passed. Tom Gardner reported that he and Sue are
at home. They are both doing well. The doctors at Vanderbilt Medical
Center had given up hope
on Sue’s condition. From the CAT scan they saw Sue’s stomach and small
intestine were dead - not just dying but dead. She was not digesting
anything she ate. It passed through the system unchanged.
Only
a painful quantity of gas was being produced. The gas had ballooned a section of the small intestine. If this
ruptured the doctors only gave her hours to live. This was on
Friday. They stopped feeding her and put her on strong antibiotics.
Sue was anointed on the Sabbath. She began to feel better right
away. In fact she improved remarkably. She was doing so well that
the doctors released her to come home. But before she left the doctor
wanted to do another CAT scan to see what was happening.
The
CAT scan showed that her stomach and small intestine were not dead
anymore. In fact the doctor said that were as healthy looking as any
healthy person. There was no ballooning and no evidence of any damage at
all. On the way home from Nashville
they stopped at Cracker Barrel and ate. Sue had no problems eating.
Tom and Sue want everyone to thank our Father for His mercy and love. We
thank Him deeply for His intervention.
The
medical staff at Vanderbilt were using the term
“miracle” quite openly as were other people who heard of the healing from God.

From Steve Moody, pastor, Jackson/Memphis, TN; Sedgwick/Little Rock, AR:
Sue Gardner, a
deaconess in the Jackson, Tennessee,
congregation, is in Vanderbilt Medical
Center in Nashville
again. She was experiencing extreme pain. She went through colon
cancer surgery over five months ago. She has been going through
chemotherapy since then. The latest situation is grave. The medical
team says her small intestine is dying. It has also ballooned out.
The immediate concern is that if it bursts she will die in a few hours.
The doctors are going to stop all food and fluids by mouth for four days and
put her on extremely powerful antibiotics. If the intestine has not
ruptured by today (Monday) they are hopeful she could recover from this but
only temporarily. They give her at the outside only 90 days unless God
intervenes and heals her. Her husband, Tommy, is holding up but the
stress is hard on him. They both need our prayers for God’s will to be
done in His mercy and compassion.

From Steve Moody, pastor, Jackson/Memphis, TN; Sedgwick/Little Rock, AR:
Sue Gardner, a
deaconess of the Jackson, Tennessee,
congregation, underwent cancer surgery this past Thursday. She was
diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It had spread and a portion of her
intestine had to be removed as well. She is still in serious condition
with a negative reaction to the pain medication. She and her husband,
Tom, would deeply appreciate your prayers for her recovery. She will have
to undergo chemotherapy once she is able.
