Keep Praying

The medication they gave Dad last night to slow down the swelling in the brain did not work, and this morning we were called in to the hospital for the worst. Since then things have stabilized for him. He is breathing more regularly (being aided by the ventilator) and his temperature is not so high. The doctors here have pinpointed the area of the stroke and it is of the worst kind, and their prognosis is that Dad could die or slip into a coma at any time. If he survives until Monday they will do another CT scan of his brain, to monitor the swelling.

So this is the doctor's assessment, but we know that we serve a True and Living God, a High Priest who can be touched by the feelings of our infirmities. Dad simply is not going anywhere until his time is up, and God is the only One who knows when that is. Still, it is a very hard process to go through and we have shed many tears.

Again, we are very touched by all the love and support that we have been bathed in. We love you all and count it a privilege to be part of this Body of Christ.
