Debbie, Sister of Cathy J Collins

23 July, 2008

A prayer request is for my younger and only sister Debbie. Several weeks ago she had her sinus cavity drained and some pulps and cysts removed. Her doctor was on vacation in Canada when he called her with the news that she had cancer in her sinus cavity. Last Wednesday, my sister called me and was scared.

She had a CT scan and they said it didn't get in her brain. Next Tuesday, Debbie will have surgery to remove her left eye, cheek bone and part of her nose at the St. Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. No reconstructive surgery can be done until all the cancer cells are gone. She needs all our prayers and moral support.

I live about three miles from where it started here in Kentucky and about ten miles where it entered into Tennessee ( Macon County ).

Please keep the victims of this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers. If anyone would like to donate to these counties they can call the Macon County Sheriff's Office at 1-615-666-4725 or the Allen County Sheriff's Office at 1-270-237-3210. My heart goes out to the victims and their families.

I give my utmost respect and support to our President George Bush for his visit to these counties, not just flying over to view the damage but coming on ground to show his concern and talk with the families of this horrible disaster.

Robbie Gross

17 December, 2007

Colton Riffe and Best Friend - Robbie Gross Colton Riffe and Robbie Gross

Below is an email asking for prayer for Robbie Gross. Please be in prayer for him and his family.

As many of your already know my son's (Colton) best friend Robbie has recently been diagnosed with Leukemia. Robbie is 9 years and in the 4 th grade at Martha Jane Potter Elementary School. His prognosis was very poor especially in the beginning. We had been a little more optimistic until this week. Below is an update on his condition and a request for prayers.

Once again, we are desperately seeking prayers for Robbie. He was suppose to begin his 5 day treatment yesterday in Lexington, Ky. As many of you know his ANC have been very low. This number is used to determine a leukemia patients ability to fight infection and the body's ability to accept chemotherapy. ANCs vary from zero to in the thousands with a normal range of 1800-7000. Anything below 500 is severe. Robbie's is now in the single digits. His treatments have been discontinued until his condition improves. He's weak and tired; he has no appetite and when he does it's quickly followed by nausea. A few weeks ago Robbie weighed 96 pounds; yesterday he weighed 72 lbs.

I know many of you are already praying and we must continue to be diligent in those prayers. We're asking every person and every church to take time this Sunday, December 16th between 11 am and noon and say a special prayer for Robbie. It's essential for Robbie to resume his treatments as soon as possible. His numbers will be checked again on Monday.

Robbie Praying Robbie Gross Praying

I have a God who works miracles and that's what I'm asking for this Christmas. I'm blessed with three healthy children, to ask for anything more would merely be selfish.
Remember to not only pray for Robbie but his entire family; they are very discouraged. Brady (Robbie's brother) is currently out of school in order to protect Robbie from any infections that he might bring home. They can't have any visitors until Robbie improves.

Please send this prayer request to everyone. Ask your church to say a special prayer on Sunday for this little boy and his family. I know it helps to put a face with prayer request, here are a couple of pictures that were taken about a month ago when Robbie was doing better.
