Dear Friends & Prayer Partners:
Now I have been told the fifth (5) time that I had only hours before I would have died.
It was 7:00 PM Tuesday night July 1 and one of my prayer partners, Glenn had just left. All of a sudden, I was in severe pain like I’be never experienced before. It felt like somebody was ripping my body apart. The wife and the my daughter Susan quickly rushed me to the ER at Valley. After reducing the pain level and doing scans and etc., they discovered a perforated ulcer in my small intestine that erupted letting all the poison from my small intestine into my lower abdomen. They quickly rushed into surgery at 11:00 pm and for the next three hours they cleaned out the poison that was within me along with fixing and closing the hole created by the perforated ulcer. I now wear a 10" cut line with staples down my upper abdomen. After I had come out of surgery, the Dr. told me that if I had not come in as I had that I would be a dead man. I spent seven days in the hospital while they observe very closely what was going on with my body and helping me to recover from the surgery.
Again I must remind you of the importance of your prayers, for I know that it was with your prayers and love that helped me through this experience in my life. During this stay in the hospital of seven days, I got to share my testimony of God’s love to at least 20 different individuals. And I thank God for the opportunity and the open doors that he provided during this time.
I seek and ask for your prayers once again that I will have a quick recovery from this surgery and also from the other challenges this surgery created. I thank you for the many cards, prayers and support that you have shown me in these past few weeks. I don’t know where God is taking this challenge but I do know that I’m in the palm of His hand. I need His help, wisdom and direction these next few weeks for I will be facing some major challenges and decisions that I need to make. Again I cherish and ask for your prayers that the decision that is made will be according to God’s design and direction.
Thanks again for all your prayers and love
