Upsetting news

We received an email last night from our best friends in Florida. She was saying that Glenn her husband needs prayers for healing in his body. He has been retaining fluid in his abdomen. A couple of weeks ago the hospital removed 2,650 cc's of fluid from him. Then again on Thursday they removed 1,700 cc. Now he is already filled back up so they will remove more fluid this morning. He has some sort of liver disease and in answer to any questions he is not nor has he ever been an alcoholic. But they doctor told him that his liver is turning to scar tissue and they should look into transplant and also having hospice come in because there is going to be pain and they would be able to give him medicine to control it.

But then the doctor dropped a bombshell on them when he said he might not be a candidte for a transplant. They think it is because of his age and his illnesses. They have not been able to see the right kind of doctor so they are searching for one that will see him. But this must not be a common thing or if it is, there are no specialist.

So I guess what I am trying to say is that any of you who read my blog please pray or do what ever good thing you do when someone needs help. Cause right now our very good friend needs help desperately.
