Another Prayer Request

**UPDATE** Well, mom had her tube removed. She had a really great nurse who prayed with her before the procedure. She didn't have any pain, and came home thinking things would be better. They may get that way, but as of right now, she needs prayer. The tube left a hole in her stomach the size of a nickel. Out of that hole is gushing....ummm...stuff that comes out of a stomach. Dad contacted the Dr. and his answer was, "Well, we may have to do surgery on Monday." Well, that's great, but it's only Friday.
So, pray for mom and dad this weekend. They aren't able to stop things from coming out, which means, mom is unable to stay hydrated and nourished. She is in a great deal of pain on her left side (which is the opposite side of "the hole"). They aren't sure what's causing that pain. On top of all this, dad is sick. He has finally, 32 days after this ordeal began, ran himself into the ground. Please pray for his strength, for mom's pain, and for them to be able to control the leaking.


Yes, another PRAYER REQUEST – probably won’t be our last. Please set aside a few minutes at 1:30 PM, EST to pray for Linda as she has another procedure.

The doctor’s appointment yesterday went well. The doctor concluded that since Linda is eating by mouth; she has an infection around the G-tube; she is in a lot of pain because of the G-tube – THE TUBE NEEDS TO COME OUT. So, that will be done tomorrow.

Linda has been through a lot of pain, fear and trauma. She has developed a great phobia – no, more like terror of white coats, tubes, needles, doctors, nurses and anything to do with medical procedures. She is fearful that something else will go wrong, like the throat problem. Please pray that God will flood her heart and spirit with peace, comfort and His presence.

Thank you once again for being faithful in our behalf.

Keep Looking Up,
Joe
