Personal Prayer Request for my Father

Folks,

I ask for your prayers and support for my father who is very ill and has taken a turn for the worse. He had a ruptured colon back on June 21st and has been back and forth from the hospital and rehab since. 

After his surgery to repair the colon, he lost the ability to swallow and has had to be fed and given medications through a feeding tube. He has been in rehab to learn to try and swallow again. So far he has not regained that reflex. Recently he has experienced severe chest pains and has pulled his tube out, so is unable to receive the nourishment and medications he needs. 

They have decided to do another surgery to place a GI tube in his side, hoping to reduce the possibility of him removing the tube. He is 87 and very weak so please pray for the Lord's presence and strength upon him through Our Lord's love and grace! He knows the Lord and for that, I am at peace. 

My brother and his family are there with him every step of the way, it just hurts not to be there to comfort and help! Please pray for my brother Randy as well, for strength, patience and guidance as he makes decisions for the family. 

Love you all and remember, most importantly so does Jesus! 

Your Friend,

Mossman
