Urgent Prayer Request

If you follow me on facebook, you may already know this, but I'm posting it in several locations to make sure that we get lots of prayers!

As you may remember from earlier posts on my blog, Larry's dad (Jim, 58) has a longgggg list of health problems. They are all related to his alcoholism. Pretty much all the major organ systems of his body are dangling by a fine thread. About a year ago, he found out that he has an abnormal heart rhythm. They attempted to shock his heart back into normal rhythm but it didn't work. Having an abnormal rhythm like his puts him at high risk for a stroke because blood pools in his heart & clots and then is pumped out to other parts of the body. To prevent a stroke, he was put on blood thinning medicine but they quickly learned that he was bleeding internally while taking it. Without locating the source of the bleeding pretty rapidly, he could bleed to death. So one way or the other, on the blood thinning medicine or not, he's in a very dangerous situation that could end his life.

Jim is not a believer, so even more serious than the health issues is the condition of his soul.

Today, Jim began bleeding internally. He's been hospitalized. Larry & I and our younger 2 kids are going to the hospital to see him tonight and try to see how serious of a situation he's facing. Please pray for Jim.
