Angela W: Update #15 (Oct 21, 6:44 PM EDT)

Great news!!! Valiant is out of surgery and is now in post-op as he is being monitored for any post-op complications.

Dr. Perry started with laparoscopic surgery but when he went in, he noticed that there were much more dead tissues than anticipated. He then had to cut him open to clean everything out. The surgery went really, really well! Praise the Lord!!! God is SO GOOD!!!

Once he gets the all clear, he will be moved to the recovery room. Hopefully, by about 9:00 PM, he should be back in his own room.

Thank you so much for all your prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and for being watchful and for persevering till the end (Eph 6:18). Rosana wants to convey her gratefulness towards everyone who prayed and stood by them.

There is so much to rejoice!

Psalms 92:4 (NKJV)
For You, LORD, have made me glad through Your work;
I will triumph in the works of Your hands.

Please continue to pray that Valiant will recover well and that there would not be any post-op complications.

Thank you so much and God bless you!

Angela W: Update #16 (Oct 21, 11:48 PM) -- URGENT

An hour after receiving good news from the surgeon, while Valiant was still in the recovery room, a nurse contacted Rosana informing her that Valiant was not doing well. He was and still is in a lot of pain.

Valiant has since been moved back to his room. It was heart wrenching for Rosana to watch him crying in pain. The medical staff could not give him anymore pain medication because his oxygen levels were dropping. The medication can only be given to him every two hours. He has drainage tubes coming out of his body everywhere including his nose. He is also shivering and on very strong antibiotics.

Please continue to pray for Valiant:
• Pray that the Lord would calm his body down after a very invasive surgery.
• Pray that he could sleep and rest throughout the night.
• Pray that his pain will lessen over time.
• Pray that the drainage from his surgical wounds would quicken the healing process.
• Most of all, pray that God's healing power will be upon him and that he would sense the peace and presence of God.

Thank you so much for praying, interceding and petitioning on behalf of Valiant and Rosana. It is very much appreciated. God bless you!

Goodmorning family!
SLY🌹

Thank you so much for your patience today. I wanted to wait for official word from Rosana before putting anything out.

From Rosana:
• Valiant's vitals were so much better today compared to last night’s.
• The nurses gave him an incorrect pain medication yesterday which led to a very excruciating and sleepless night for Valiant.
• He is currently on a pain pump with the correct pain medication and is feeling a bit better today.
• His countenance has also improved from yesterday.

The best part was that Valiant texted his own update tonight. I was pleasantly surprised and simply delighted to hear from him directly:
• Valiant asked that we continue to pray that he will recover fully with no complications.

Thank you so much for continuing to pray for Valiant and Rosana. They are so appreciative of all of you and how you have labored in prayer for them over these past few days. Thank you so much and God bless you!

Angela W: Update #18 (Oct 23, 2:38 PM)

Valiant wants you to know that he loves and cares for you very much. He is so grateful for your prayers and the love you have shown him.

He also shared that he had a rough night last night.

Valiant's battles seemed to be most intense during the night. So please continue to pray for him. We all know that this battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Let's put on the whole armor of God and do battle on behalf of Valiant:
• Let's stand in the gap for Valiant against the schemes of the devil.
• Pray that the Lord would be so present with Valiant and that demons will flee in the name of Jesus.
• Pray that the peace and healing of God will come upon him so that he would have a painless and restful night.
• Pray that he would recover fully without any complications, and that the pain he is experiencing will subside.

Ephesians 6:10-13 (NKJV)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Thank you so much for praying and standing with and for Valiant. God bless you!

**Urgent Prayer Warriors**


We have a family prayer request. Our sister @micaelarudish beautiful son Colton is in need of healing prayer. Her amazing little boy Colton had been running a high temp of 103 and went to the clinic moments ago. They immediately called for an ambulance to head to Akron Children Hospital. We need our prayer warriors to call for healing in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We will keep everyone update as things unfold. God Bless you all.

We all love you three.

Hey y’all, Colton is home & resting. Still has a fever, but we’re working with an amazing Homeopathic Doc on natural ways to bring down the fever. Thank you guys so much for all the prayers & love, we are so blessed to have all of you amazing prayer warriors behind our precious Colton boy! 🙌🏽❤️‍🔥🙏🏽🫶

I just wanted to update everyone on my Grandboy Colton….
We had a rough night last night, his temp. went above 105 and we had to take him to the local hospital. My daughter was open with them about the natural measures that we’ve been taking with his healing from his stroke. All of the staff were VERY supportive. It was refreshing to get a positive response from the modern medical field with this. Aultman Hospital in Canton, OH.
They did run some tests and diagnosed him with RSV. Treated him with an ice wrap (packed him in ice), oxygen, & a dose of Motrin. They knew how we felt about the Motrin and my daughter felt it best that he did receive that dose. He was released earlier this morning and is now at home resting.
When things like this happen, it’s overwhelming for us with everything we’ve endured with Colton’s health. With that, the Body of Christ, the friends/FAMILY we have here, and the support we received is one of the greatest Blessings I’ve ever witnessed! You all humble me in ways I can’t express with words! My family and I are so very thankful for you ALL, GRACED!!!
I will keep you all updated today as we see how Colton is feeling throughout the day. We love you and we thank you! May God Bless and Keep each & everyone of you!

Sincerely with Love,
The Murtland’s
🙏❤️✝️🙌

Thank you so much for praying for Valiant and Rosana. The way all of you have come together to lift our brother and sister in prayer has been beyond amazing. THANK YOU!

Here is a heartfelt message from Valiant:
I was able to take in a full night of sleep. I am hoping to be checked out of here by late this afternoon if my potassium levels increase. Dr. Perry literally saved my life. This surgery was very complex, and had it happened at Cleveland clinic, I have no doubt that it would have been a very different outcome.

I love you all for sticking with me through this. Thank you so very much! God’s hand was seen through the entirety of all of this. To all the saints, thank you. I love you and care for each one of you very much. All of your prayers have carried me through, and I can’t thank you all enough.

As my body returns to a sense of normalcy, I’m sure I’ll be processing all that has happened.

I love you all! ❤️

Here is the latest:
• Valiant is home resting. He is on a liquid diet as he is not ready for solid food just yet.
• He is so grateful to Sebastian Medical Center for taking such good care of him. On Thursday night while he was there in the ER, things got so serious that Valiant was almost med-flighted to Orlando.
• On Friday night after the surgery at Sebastian, Dr. Perry told Rosana, "I fixed your husband!"
• The surgeons who witnessed the surgery wished it was filmed because it was so complex as they have never seen anything like it before.
• Valiant later found out that Dr. Perry is a believer in Christ. He became the hands and feet of Christ in bringing healing to Valiant. The Lord was all over Dr. Perry and Valiant. What an answer to prayer!!!
• Please continue to pray for Valiant that he will recover fully without any complications. He will have his staples taken out next Monday (10/31/22).
 
God has been so good and faithful, hasn’t He? We got to see Him work in real time. What an honor and privilege it has been to lift and support Valiant and Rosana in prayer over these past few weeks. Please continue to remember them in your prayers.
 
Thank you so much and God bless you all! ❤️

I just wanted to update everyone on my Grandson Colton.
