Grandpa Update

UPDATE: We just got home from the doctor who told us he cannot move the surgery up any sooner. This is very disappointing, but what can you do?

He gave us best and worst case scenarios, which was both reassuring and quite scary.

Please pray that the doctor will be able to extract all the stomach tumor, that's it's not spread or attached to any vital organs, and that it will not spread any further.

Also, the surgery is at 9am this coming Friday, and he'll be in the hospital for at least a week.

Please please please continue to pray that the cancer does not spread, that his spirits stay up, and that God will mercifully work on his heart as well as see him through this.

All of us thank you.

...

My grandpa's condition is deteriorating rapidly.

He's in a lot of pain and his mickey mouse doctors are doing nothing. We are SO angry at them. When they saw he'd lost 25-35 pounds, they should have had the operation immediately. Why this is taking so long we are all baffled by.

Please pray that when we meet with the surgeon at 11am on Saturday that we'll be able to push the operation up. With the pain he's in, it is hard to think that he could last until next Friday, Dec. 1st.

Tomorrow morning will be my last meal for a while so please pray that I'll be focused and committed and fervent in prayer and fasting for his health, his salvation and his operation. Please be praying along those lines as well.

Jon:

I will be praying with you tomorrow morning. I know that you are angry and frustrated and scared, but please remember that the doc's and nurse's also may need to see the gospel message in and through you. I will also pray that you can show the love of Jesus as you discuss the your Grandpa's condition.

Bill
