Prayers needed

[Guest guest]

I ask you to pray for my nephew, , age 17. He is 6 months older

than my .

had surgery on 3/27 to correct his pectus excavatum (deformity in

the chest wall). He did well, but this past weekend began bleeding in his

stomach. It is thought that the stress of the surgery, untreated reflux

of stomach acid, and the painkillers all caused a bleeding ulcer. His

hemoglobin dropped to 7.1. He received 2 transfusions this morning, and

his hemoglobin rose to 9, but has since dropped down to 8.4. They want

his hemoglobin to stabilize before they will take him to endoscopy to

find the source of the bleeding. Please keep and his family in

your prayers.

and Rob 16 Spondy

" Have no fear for what tomorrow may bring. The same loving God who cares

for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. God will

either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear

it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and

imaginations. "

-St Francis DeSales
