give thanks that Alison's operation took place as planned on 22 July, but pray that her condition will be accurately diagnosed soon;

give thanks that Helen underwent a shoulder operation on 11 June and is recovering well;

pray for Pearl, still too jaundiced and very frail despite having a stent inserted on 2 July; due to see the oncologist again in three weeks;

give thanks that Dai's right arm no longer requires a sling;

give thanks that Shirley has received her last dose of intravenous chemotherapy and taken her last tablets; she is in complete remission and feeling good.
