PLEASE PRAY

Everyone who believes in the healing power of God, please pray for Dave's dad, David. To make a long story short...the lymph nodes all over his body are swollen. The doctor at first thought that his MRSA staph was returning so they put him on medicine and gave him a special soap to wash with. That did nothing for him and he has ended up in the hospital because he was throwing up blood and was becoming extremely lethargic. When we went to see him last night they had pretty much ruled out cancer and are leaning toward a yeast infection that he has picked up from pigeon droppings. His body is not able to fight the infection because of the medicine he takes for his rheumatory arthritis because it has killed his immune system. He cannot communicate with you. We can tell he recognizes you because when he looks at you and you talk to him his eyes tear up. They did a spinal tap on him while we were there and they will do a CAT scan and MRI on him today. After we left last night he had a seizure so they moved him to ICU and put him on a ventilator. Please pray that he can fight this and God will heal him and give the doctors the wisdom to know how to treat him. Thanks!
