Prayer needed for my friend

He had surgery on June 4th. The original surgery was to remove cancer from his stomach. As it ended up the cancer had spread more and they ended up removing his entire stomach, pancreas and spleen. He has been in ICU since that time. They attempted to remove the breathing machine today but he could not tolerate the pain of breathing on his own. They are planning to try again tomorrow.

Please pray that they got all the cancer and the additional biopsies that they sent off will return clear. Also, please pray that there are no complications from this surgery that cause him additional problems. He is facing a long road to recovery and if some of you would take it upon your heart to pray for him I would really appreciate it. His name is Russell.

I can't imagine the Pain Russell is going through. Our Lord is able to bring complete healing may His will be done in Jesus Name!

That is terrible. I can't imagine the suffering.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Prayer needed for my friend

Thanks everyone for the prayers.

I spoke with his wife earlier today. He is still in ICU. His vital signs are somewhat stablized but they are still unable to remove the ventilator due to the level of his pain. Please continue to pray for him.

Thanks.

Re: Prayer needed for my friend

Update: They removed the vent today. He is breathing well on his own with little pain. His throat is very sore from having the tube. He was able to talk to his wife a little today but only in a whisper. She said he was very sad when she was told by the nurse that her visitation time was over. They are going to do some tests tomorrow to check on the stitches placed attaching his esophagus to the small intestine. If stitches are holding well, they are going to attempt to give him liquid by mouth within the next 48 hours or so.
