TO ALL MY FREINDS WHO PRAY....
I've always believed in the power of prayers for people who are sick, so Im asking you to pray for my uncle.
My uncle Jerry was Diagnosed with a disease that took the doctors years to discover. My understanding of the situation was that when he first got it doctors didnt even know about it. Its that rare. Hes been having surgeries on his small intestines and taking medications for years. But its not helping enough. A few days ago he got really sick. He has a blockage in his small intestant( I know I can't spell). The doctors here said the only thing they can do is give him an illeostomy. If any one knows what a colostomy bag is, its the same thing but in the small not the large. The bag still wont fix the probelm by a mile but it will should help him alot. The only probelm is my Uncle Jerry is still a fairly young man. Hes only in his 40s and is running his own business. So this bag would be as much of a hinderance as a blessing because it would be really hard to having him slow down.
His family opted out of the illeostomy but he is going to have surgery in Cleaveland Thursday because a doctor there believes he can fix the blockage with out the bag. Its risky. He hasnt eaten for days and he has got a tube down his nose and throat that they will probably have to put back in once he gets to the hospital in Ohio. So what im asking is just that you include him in your prayers for the next week. The family really needs it.
And if it isnt to much I feel I should ask that you keep his mother-in-law in them too. She is in heart failure. All four valves to her heart are leaking. She was told she wasnt a surgery canidate but one of the top heart surgeons wants to work on her in Boston. Aparently when she had surgery for a bad valve earlier the wrong size and shape tube was put in and the pressure is causing the others to leak as well.
Thank you
