I received this from a very dear friend. PLEASE take this to the Lord for them. – Gary Quimby
Yesterday, we spent a very long day at Doernbechers hospital. William had a surgical procedure where they investigated his bladder and kidneys. This is the second one. The first one was 6 months ago. Since then, his kidneys are double the size of an adult and are showing more damage. His bladder has quit working completely. They decided to try catheterization 4 times per day. William was able to do it himself at the hospital, but when we got home last night, he said it hurt too much. If catheterization doesn’t work, the next step as the doctor said, “we don’t want to go there, it’s very complicated.” the doc said that Williams case is severe. The kidney damage is unrepairable. If things continue to get worse he will eventually have kidney failure and have to be on dialysis the rest of his life. People on dialysis have a significant loss of years in their life span. He said William would not reach the age of 25. As I sat their in tears and shock, my heart was breaking. This cannot be happening to my baby boy. Please pray for a miracle for him. I would like to request he be put on a prayer chain and also have hands on and be anointed with oil. William said last night as he was crying over the pain and frustration, “I will not let this steal my faith!”
Also, please pray for David. His TBI and PTSD is worse and he was told by the doctors that his brain cannot translate correctly what he hears. I have noticed that he rambles about things, speaks inappropriately, cant remember anything, has to be reminded of doing things from simple tasks to hygiene, and acts like he is a little child sometimes.
Pray for me that I have the strength, wisdom and patience to deal with all of this. Right now I have come down with a cold and have my own health issues. Christmas is in a few days and getting everything ready is challenging.
Thank you for your prayers.
