Please Pray for my brother Earl




From Tim, my nephew today ~

"The ER doctor read the CAT scan, Earl does not have pneumonia and he does not have a blood clot in his lungs. The CAT scan revealed that his heart is enlarged and his valves were possibly bulging. There is fluid in his lungs which is coming from his heart. The ER doctor said that cardiologist will need to read the CAT scan tomorrow.

For now Mom would like prayer. Dad's chest was hurting a lot so he has been heavily sedated and will be closely monitored at the hospital."

OK, we are not supposed to fear death - or anything for that matter. I am trying really hard not to fear - but being so far away from them (they are in Texas)is very difficult. Please pray for them.

For those of you who don't know, Earl had a neck fusion 6 weeks ago, and last Friday he had a lower back surgery. Today he has a fever and very bad chest pains. He is in the hospital - he wants only to preach the gospel and Christ crucified.
