Requesting prayers again.

#1 Postby vbhoutex » Thu Jan 13, 2005 9:22 pm

Once again my father-in-law is not doing well. He is unsteady on his feet and very mentally disoriented. There is some congestive heart failure involved, but that doesn't appear to be the major problem right now and the Cardiologist did increase his lasiks today to try and slow the fluid retention. At 86 years old the decisions as to how to deal with the medical challenges become more difficult, especially when he is in very frail health already.

Just asking for prayers that God's will be done, whatever that may be.

You've got it my dear Brother, ask and it SHALL be done.

Health related issues, as you stated, at this age are very difficult to deal with, it has GOT to be one of the hardest issues to deal with.......remember back quite a few months ago, I had asked the question if modern medicine was a miracle of menance?

Thanks all for your wonderful support. You are what makes S2K the wonderful family it is!!! The prayers definitely help so just keep them flowing. We don't know where this is heading, but it is so tough on Susan and her sister Melinda. I'll keep you posted.

Update from the home front. My father-in-law is like a new man today almost like nothing happened. He was definitely not in good shape when I saw him last night so who knows what happened. Maybe the change in his one med did the trick for now. Anyway thanks for the prayers and support!!! AS USUAL THEY WORKED WONDERS!!!
