Hi everyone
Update on Brian
Thank you so much for your prayers for Brian (amongst others). I have an update on him to pass on.
The water retention and swelling have just about been dealt with and his kidneys now appear to be working normally, praise the Lord.
They are reviewing his various medications in case side effects from any of them (such as Voltarol for his very painful knee) have contributed to the original high potassium level and kidney issue.
However, he has been experiencing some atrial fibrillation (abnormal heart rhythms) and issues with blood circulation, and he also had a hypogylcemic attack (very low blood sugar), which a nurse very thankfully spotted quickly and resolved appropriately. (Brian has Type 2 diabetes, as most of you know.)
He remains in hospital and is awaiting a free side room on the heart ward. A side room is needed as they won't allow him to use his CPAP machine to give him extra oxygen at night (due to sleep apnea) in an open ward - due to Covid restrictions!
Gilly is allowed to go in every day, which is a real help for Brian, and she is able to attend to his leg dressings as appropriate.
Thank you again for your prayers and they, and Tim their son, do send you their thanks and love and blessings.

No major update except that the MRI scans for a 3-D picture of her really painful hip and leg have been taken and she is due to get the results late on Wednesday afternoon in an appointment with her consultant. Thanks again for your prayer support for her and John.
Bible Study Reminder (Please ignore if irrelevant to you!)
Most of those who currently attend Grace Turpin's fortnightly Zoom Bible Studies are included in this update on Brian, and I have been asked to add this reminder for you that the next study is this coming Sunday at 7pm. If you haven't got the log-in details just let me know.
To explain: Grace is going through her late sister Joy Paine's studies from 20 years ago on the whole book of Genesis and is giving them by Zoom with occasional slides. These studies are open to all and MP3s of them are being prepared and added to her website, Shiloah Ministries, which also details a lot of the Biblical Chronology material by their father, Frank Paine, and also Arthur Ware.
Again, please contact me if you would like any further details.
Very many thanks again for your prayers for Brian and Gilly, etc.
Blessings
Keith (& Pat) Cline
