Hello everyone,
This is not my weekly posting, but I thought this is such a good way of communicating that I would share with you a prayer request in addition to my weekly posts.
The man pictured at the left is my cousin David. David and his wife are Christians. Not too long after this photo was taken, David had some pains in his stomach and went in the hospital on July 3rd 2008. Ever since then he has been in either hospitals or rehab nursing homes.
I didn't discuss posting this with him, so briefly, due to complications in an operation and later a cyst that invaded his stomach, he has lost his appetite. David has lost well over 100 pounds and is too weak to sit up or walk, or move much at all. When it seemed like he was getting better, he would have a setback. So many of these setbacks have left him very depressed, as it would any of us. Since he is too weak to maintain a rehab regimen, he will be sent home this week.
Please pray, as some of you already have faithfully, for him and his wife. They are in much need of prayer and encouragement. Please pray that he will feel like moving and exercising his legs to help him walk again, and that after months without eating hardly anything due to stomach problems, his appetite will return. If he regains a normal appetite he should regain enough strength to complete rehab.
Again, any and all prayers are greatly appreciated. If you would care to send them a card, please email me jonbrowning@suddenlink.net and I can get you an address to send it to. This would be so appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Jon
