Larry's Update: Tueday 12/7/10



Friends, thank you so much for all the prayers and well wishes. I cannot answer all of you individually, but you have blessed my heart, and I read all the comments to Larry, and it so encouraged him, too! My sweet Larry came through emergency exploratory surgery this afternoon. With all the consent forms the Drs. had him sign, we didn't know what was going to be the outcome.

It ended successfully, Praise God. He was bleeding internally. He has a bleeding ulcer in his stomach, that ate through the outer wall and caused poisoning in his abdomen much like a ruptured appendix. Thankfully, they mended the stomach, and did not need to remove anything else (partial colon, intestines being mentioned!)



Now, he's in ICU. Pray for healing, no infection, and that his congestion doesn't become pneumonia....
Hugs, pokey

Psalm128:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him,
and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise Him.

    Great news for you too. You have my prayers for all of you. My DIL had good news too. Seems to be a blood pressure issue not her heart. Prayers do wonders.

    Thanks heavens. Good luck to Larry, hope he mends fast. And good luck to you helping him with the process. I know all about those darn consent forms. Bob's had many heart surgeries, and we have to sign them each time.

    I'm so glad Larry's doctors were able to do a "fix" for him and I know he will be 100% before too long now! Prayers will continue, of course.

    Oh my goodness, Pokey, I haven't been online for a couple of days so didn't read about Larry. He is in my prayers for a quick recovery.

    Oh dear Pokey....I do hope he is doing better. Just getting out of the hospital my self a week and a half ago....I can empathize. It's no fun to be sick...and its no fun for the loved ones holding on while those they love are in surgery. My prayers are with you. Please take care of yourself!
