Sue Sabens writes, “We would like to ask that our church family to pray for our granddaughter Sarah’s baby, Alexis Grace Simmons, and also for her parents Sarah and Kevin. Alexis is scheduled to have open heart surgery on the 26th of July in Atlanta. She will be almost six months old at that time, and she has always been fed through a tube and also receives oxygen the same way. They are hoping that after the surgery she will be able to take a bottle and breathe on her own. Please pray that God will strengthen Sarah and Kevin to face all this and that Alexis will be a much healthier baby after the surgery. May God pour out special blessings on all who take the time to pray for them.” The surgery for Alexis Grace was postponed until August 9th. Pre-op work is being done today with the hope that she can have the surgery sooner. Please pray a door will open so this surgery can take place as quickly as possible.
