February 18, 20188 yr Father is 86. Went into hospital with lots of abdominal pain. Has twisted bowel. Surgery in about an hour. While everything else is good, heart, blood, etc, surgery at 86 is never easy. I would appreciate a quick prayer for Dad.
February 19, 20188 yr Marg & I have sent prayers up. Good luck to him and for a quick recovery. SLAG.
February 19, 20188 yr My prayers for your dad . My dad has been in the hospital we thought it was cancer ,got the news today that it wasn’t.
February 19, 20188 yr Author Thank s for the prayers. They are working. He’s out of surgery and he did great. Fixed the issue in time before cells had started to die from loss of blood. They had been talking ICU because of his age, but he did so well, they are putting him in progressive care. Keep the prayers coming for the quick recovery and release from the hospital. He’s already tilled his garden and started his cool weather plants, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and has some lettuce and spinach in a hot bed. So, he needs to get out and take care of it. Also, he still heats with wood, so my brother and I will be tending his wood fired boiler for a bit He wIll be in recovery room until early this morning, so everyone is going to bed now. So, thanks again and keep ‘em coming. Thanks Lionel H and glad to hear it wasn’t cancer. Sent a prayer out for his recovery. Psalm 41:3. “The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.”
February 19, 20188 yr Glad things are going well. Didn't see this till now. Thoughts and prayers going out.
February 19, 20188 yr Just caught up with this post. Glad to hear things are progressing well. He'll be back in the garden again soon.
February 19, 20188 yr I am getting to old for all this kneeling, grabbing the heal and horn of the anvil and bowing my head works better. I imagine after all the gate leaning I have done wile talking to the friend we all share, bowing at the anvil seems to work very well.
February 19, 20188 yr Author Charles, method of praying doesn’t matter as long as it is done. And thank you all - he’s feeling good enough now to complain about his intubeation. They only have monitors like heart, pulse, oxygen on him - no assistance for anything is needed. He’s a tough old bird - turns out that a hole had opened up in the membrane supporting the intestines and a short section had fallen into it. They pulled it out, stitched the hole, and did not find any necrosis- they are going back in tomorrow just to be sure as these kinds of issues are not too be taken lightly. Prayers have definitely helped - thank you again.
