AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List

Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer
requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.

Prayer Requests:
3/28 – Hrothgar asked for prayers for a dear and long time close friend and former neighbor, Daniel,
who is scheduled for open heart surgery in mid-April. Prayers for his wife would be appreciated as well,
as she will be carrying a heavy load for the next few months.
4/18 Update – Daniel survived his complex open heart surgery. He is sitting up and it seems like it went
well, but they are not going to release him as quickly as he would like, so he is not happy. Thanks to the
Horde for the prayers and please keep praying for his dear wife, who now has even more to put up with.
5/16 Update – Hrothgar sends thanks for the prayers for Dan. Thanks to his attitude and the miracles
of modern heart surgery, Daniel is back home and in good spirits and mobile. He still has a lot of rehab
ahead, but it sounds like a pretty good recovery to be home only 20 days after being on the table!
3/28 – Jordan61 posted that Mr. Jordan61 is back in the hospital. His sepsis has returned and gotten into
where his compression fracture is, and he has vertebral osteomyelitis. The doctor is supposed to come
in today and let them know the plan.
4/9 Update – On 4/1 Mr. Jordan61 was released from the hospital with six weeks of IV antibiotics,
which Jordan61 is administering every 8 hours. He’s in a lot of pain; they’ve given him oxy, fentanyl, and
dilaudid, and nothing seems to touch it. From what they were told, the pain won’t subside until the
infection is cleared up. For the time being, he is bed-bound and they are limiting his movement as much
as possible to keep the pain to a minimum. Jordan61 will send updates with progress.
4/25 Update – Mr. Jordan61 is making slow but steady progress. He can get up and walk for short
periods of time, and can sit in the living room for an hour or so per day. He is halfway through the IV
antibiotics, with 3 weeks to go. A physical therapist will be coming to help him build strength and learn
how to move without aggravating his back injury. Thank you all for the prayers!
4/3 – Teresa in Fort Worth posted an update. Her chemo seems to be holding things steady for now.
Unfortunately, as she is receiving a steroid, she has gained about 25 pounds. Her blood sugar has also
jumped up about 40 points (which only happens when she is on steroids).
4/24 Update – Teresa in Fort Worth provided an update: The pump that was put in to battle cancer in
December can only be used for 6 months. After that, it starts to damage the liver. So she may have to go
back onto the medication that made her lose her hair and messed up her vision and nails, and then
return to this medication after a break. This is not good news, since this new medication is working so
well. But for now, she is doing well and is incredibly grateful for the time that she has been given so far.
4/11 – Eromero craves prayers for Mrs. E., as she has been diagnosed with lymphoma. She begins
infusions on 4/23.
4/25 Update – Mrs. E. reports that she feels fine. Praise be to God that she has had only one distressful
episode during the infusions. Thank you for all the past and continued prayers.
4/18 – neverenoughcaffiene asked that Devyn be kept in prayers. She is a young mother of 2 with a
mass on her esophagus. The Doc said it was scar tissue and hopefully the second opinion will agree.

5/16 Update – The doctor providing Devyn’s second opinion advised her to stay with the original
doctor. She will be having a biopsy sometime in the next week. Prayers are still needed.
4/18 – Smell the Glove could use some prayers as therapy and rehab occur after gout/sepsis.
5/2 Update – The gout has cleared and the infection in the lower back is healing.
5/18 Update – Smell the Glove may be out of rehab this week, but still would need wound care at
home. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes!
4/18 – Sam Adams requested prayers for a friend, Mary F, who was just sent to a long-term recovery
facility after having a tracheostomy.
5/2 Update – Mary’s breathing is improving, and they are weaning her off assisted breathing. She is
now off the ventilator for 12 hours a day, and they are aiming for 14 hours soon. Many thanks to all of
the Moron Horde for the prayers.
4/24 – Notsothoreau asked for prayers for a friend’s father (Cory), who needs prayers for strength and
peace as he is going through some troubled times.
4/27 – Matthew Kant Cipher sent his thanks to those who prayed for his friend Layne (who is also his
son’s FIL). The Horde may recall that in August, Layne was diagnosed with bladder cancer. He has since
undergone courses of chemo, immunotherapy, and radiation. His latest scans came back clean. The
cancer is in remission; praise be to God! Prayers are also humbly requested for Mrs. MKC, who is dealing
with a new flare-up of a GI condition that had been leaving her alone until a recent procedure re-
aggravated it. It is very frustrating/discouraging as she waits to see a new GI doctor.
4/25 – Retired Buckeye Cop asked that we would continue to lift his 16 year old grandson (LH) up in
prayers, as LH continues to consider the call to priesthood in the Catholic Church. LH recently went to a
meeting with a group of young men who are considering the priesthood.
4/25 – Fenelon Spoke asked for prayers for “I”, who Fenelon visited and anointed with oil, and prayed
for healing of her health concerns.
5/2 – neverenoughcaffiene requested prayers for parishioners at her church, who lost their newborn
daughter, Astrid.
5/7 – turambar asked for prayers for relatives. Mom needs prayers as she was admitted to the hospital
to check her heart and cardio. They did not find pneumonia. Two months ago, she fell at her assisted
living place, and broke her hip. She also has dementia. Turambar’s uncle fell recently and broke his hip,
too.
5/9 – D asked for prayers. He was let go from his IT job and has started a business making and selling
lens cleaners to make ends meet. Please contact Annie’s Stew if you’d like more information – either to
order lens cleaners, or if you’d like to contact him related to IT job openings (DBA/Network Admin).
5/11 – rez986 asked if anyone had an update on Neidermeyer’s Dead Horse’s health. The last info
Annie’s Stew has was from January, 2026, that he’d been given 6 months to live due to heart failure and
was being treated and waiting for a transplant at Mayo.

5/16 Update – Dash my lace wings! posted that NDH is recovering well. IrishEi posted that NDH did
receive a heart transplant and that she is doing well. She also posted a link to NDH’s X account, and her
fundraising page.
5/15 – Toad-O requested prayers for his second ex-wife, the mother of his two children. They were
divorced 25 years ago, and 3 years later, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and the children came
to live with Toad-O. The ex-wife is now suffering from advanced Alzheimer’s, and has been living with
Toad-O’s daughter and her husband. The ex-wife fell last month and and cracked 2 vertebrae, and just
was taken to ER with a rapid heartbeat and low blood pressure due to dehydration. Prayers are
appreciated for her and also for the daughter who has sacrificed a lot to care for her.
5/16 – Anna Puma requested prayers for the family of Dan Fordice, who was killed when the aircraft he
was flying crashed. He leaves behind a wife, 3 children, and many friends. He was a Warbird flyer, a CEO,
and a veteran of the 2/20 th SFG.
5/16 – Tonypete asked for prayers for Jane who is dying of breast cancer, and for Cheri who is in jail
(again) for drug related crimes.
5/20 – D gave an update on his wife Susan, and her continued battle with cancer. Her cancer markers
are still headed in the right direction. She is on a new antibiotic, and it is causing some side effects, but it
is keeping her out of another surgery, so that is a win. Thanks again to everyone for their prayers. May 1
marked one year sine they found out about the cancer, and Susan is doing so well.
5/20 – E gave an update. She and her family were having financial struggles a few months ago, and
asked for prayers. E sends her thanks for the prayers, and wanted to let people know that things are
getting better, thanks to the Horde’s prayers and their church family. They have resolved their mortgage
issue and her husband has resumed his side gig making deliveries. They are also cutting monthly
expenses. They would like continued prayers as the deal with the insurance company of the person who
crashed into (and totaled) E’s vehicle. Insurance only offered half the replacement value, so that
struggle is still going on.
For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the
prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in
a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with
the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it
to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an
update.
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but
not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.
