"Heart surgery was finally scheduled for May 15. It was
a complete bypass and they actually removed his heart and put him on a bypass
machine. They had to remove an entire valve and use a vein from his
leg. That valve also had an aneurysm so it was a good thing it was removed. The heart surgery
was a success BUT, he was having bladder issues. He is now diagnosed with
bladder and kidney cancer. Kidney surgery will be sometime in late August
or September. Now they also found a tumor on his lung...that is scheduled
for July 24. He is trying so hard but he has no appetite and although his
heart is doing so much better, other areas aren't. He weighs 122
lbs. He has little energy and says he can't eat, so he drinks water and
eats very little. Please ask your prayer group to please pray for him. I
have him on prayer chains all over. He just turned 74 on June 3."
I'll be praying not only for healing and a great medical team
but comfort for the family as they all suffer watching him suffer. It's always
so sad when things pile up, one after another... please say a wee prayer for
this man and his family and loved ones.
Sweet Lord Jesus, this is a tough one. Looks like we need a
miracle here and we know you are our healer. We ask for not only good medical
advice and surgeries, but also peace and patience and anything that is needed
by this family and this man to help them through this troubling time. Jesus, we
trust in you!
