From Vince Szymkowiak, pastor, Rolla/St. Louis, MO; Fairview Heights, IL:
Conrad
and Mary Bell, from St. Louis, Missouri, request
your prayers on Conrad’s behalf. Conrad had a triple bypass surgery
December 14th and has been in ICU since then with several
complications. Currently, he has pneumonia and is unable to cough the
fluid from his lungs, so periodically they must insert a tube to drain the
fluid. They have suggested performing a tracheotomy, but this could be
dangerous due to his current weakness. Another option is to simply put
Conrad on a morphine-drip to alleviate pain, which would result in his eventual
death. Your prayers are requested that neither of these will be needed
and that Conrad’s strength will increase so he can cough the fluid out on his
own. The family deeply appreciates the prayers that have already been
offered on Conrad’s behalf, and thank you for your continued prayers.

From George Meeker, elder, St. Louis, MO:
Conrad Bell
and his wife, Mary, of the St. Louis, Missouri,
congregation, request your prayers. Conrad is scheduled to have a triple,
and possibly a quadruple, bypass. He has had several strokes in the past,
and there is a possibility that this surgery could trigger another
stroke. The doctors have also said his lungs are not very strong, which
could result in pneumonia after the surgery. Please pray for God’s
intervention in preventing any complications with the surgery and
his recovery following the surgery.
