Update – Helen Sherry

Helen’s care team believes she has entered a healing phase. They believe her serious eye infection has resolved, although continued vigilance is needed. Her migraines have dissipated and other pain that she was experiencing has diminished as well. This is very good news.

Your thoughts and prayers for her continued recovery will be meaningful.

 

DECEMBER 2022

Please pray for a complete recovery of vision for our classmate, Helen Sherry. Helen experienced severe (single) eye trauma a few weeks ago that was closely followed by an infection that has not yet responded to treatment. She’s experiencing pain, including migraines. Her recovery is uncertain. Helen is a spiritual person. Your thoughts and prayers for her recovery will be meaningful. My best to each of you. John Schmelzer
