Prayers are requested on behalf of Yvonne Janosek, who suffered a stroke on Thursday. Yvonne and her husband John served the WELS mission in Malawi for for decades.
The following is an update from her daughter, Alex:
He is risen indeed!
Mom has been moved to the Progressive Care Unit now. It means she doesn’t need the intensity of care they provide in ICU. The doctor is surprised that she is doing as well as she is, considering the extent of the damage to the left hemisphere of her brain.
I believe that she recognizes us though – both our voices and names. At least, when I brought Eleora to her room yesterday and told her, “Look. Eleora is here.” She moved her eyes to look at Eleora immediately. I suppose that could be her looking to see who Eleora was and not recognizing her. It’s hard to tell as she can’t talk or smile. She can show pain or discomfort though, and is getting better control over her left side of her body. Well, it appears so to these untrained eyes.
I wish you a blessed Easter!
Alex.
Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense ; he has become my salvation. ” – Isaiah 12:2
May the peace and comfort of Christ’s resurrection
continue to sustain Yvonne and her family…with Christian love and prayers, dear sister in CHRIST
My thoughts and prayers are with all in your family. I am very sorry to hear that Yvonne had a stroke. She, her husband, John, my dear husband (in heaven), Richard, and I were all missionaries together in N. Rhodesia (Zambia after Independence) and Nyasaland (Malawi after Independence), Africa. With love in Christ, Irene Mueller
Eunice and I just learned of Yvonne’s stroke. We commend her and her loved ones into the loving hands of our Lord. The halls of heaven are fast filling with redeemed souls from Malawi where she and John unselfishly spent themselves reaching out to others with the Word of salvation full and free through faith in our Savior’s victorious sacrifice. ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’ RvEm Daniel Westendorf former ACA member
