I would like for you to pray for my husband, Tom Lolley, who is a Pike Co. native; he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in the center of his brain last Friday. He is recuperating from the surgery in which the surgeon implanted a temporary stint into the brain to remove the blood. He will undergo further surgery later this week or Monday of next week when the surgeon will implant a shunt to take care of any further fluid which might accumulate later. Only the prayers of hundreds of our friends across the southeastern part of the US brought him through the first surgery. The doctor told us Monday that he had not expected Tom to live through the first surgery; Dr. Loomis said that it was a miracle! Of course, we agreed. Tom is still in Neurosurgery ICU at Memorial Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC where he will be until after the second surgery. Even though we have never met most of you, we feel a closeness because of Tom's Pike County roots. In Christian love, Sydney H. Lolley Syd In C most a
