Prayers needed for Father-in-law

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

Prayers needed for Father-in-law

Post by MissouriGuerrilla »

My wife and I just got hit in the chest with sledgehammers.

My father-in-law went into the hospital with severe lower abdominal pains on Thursday. The ER did a CT scan and found, what they thought, was an air hole in one of his intestines. They gave him IV antibiotics to see if it would close on it's own or if they needed to do surgery. Upon more CT scans yesterday, they found a mass. Today, he underwent a three hour surgery where they found, what they believe to be colon cancer spread through his lower half and on his liver. Without treatment, they're giving him up to five years. The other problem is, we don't know if he will even be able to withstand any treatment as he had a massive heart attack last year, he has diabetes and horrible sleep apnea. My wife is in shambles and I am in shock. We went from little hole in the intestine to five years to live in about 30 hours.

Prayers, thoughts and well wishes are needed.

He also got married two years ago and adopted his wife's 16 year old daughter.

Thank you.

We all face difficulties throughout our lives and like you said, “like getting hit in the chest with a sledgehammer”, it’s hard to comprehend why this has happened to your FIL, but know this, the Lord will help your family through it.
Praying for your family.

His name is Monty. He is currently in ICU where they are keeping a very close eye on him.

Thanks, folks!

Father I lift Monty up to you now.
I asked that you give him and his family peace and as bad as it looks, we know that you Lord are the creator of all things and the great physician!
Lord I ask that you bring healing to Monty's body, that you give the doctors wisdom, knowledge and insight beyond their years of training and practice that he might somehow be spared and that you would be glorified in him and in his life.
I asked this the powerful name of Jesus,
Amen

Holy Father... Please be with this family during this difficult time. It it such an earth shattering thing to find out your days are numbered by a catastrophic disease. Father, we know you love us as your children. Please give this family comfort and peace in knowing the creator of the universe is by their side while this battle against cancer rages. Father, we trust You and know you will do what is best in this situation.
May Your will be done!

We bring our burdens to you and lay them at your feet.
We ask these things in the Holy Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Some good news...he is showing good signs of improvement! He is still in ICU, but the reasons he is in ICU are better. He had a breathing tube for only about 12 hours, his high heart rate has steadily went down, his draining tube from the incision area is clearing up (much to the surgeon's delight) and his 100* temperature is now down to the normal 98.6. They are crossing their fingers he can leave ICU in a couple of days. Still a long way to go yet. They figure he'll still be in the hospital another week and a half or so if he continues to do well.

Thanks for the prayers, everyone!

Hey folks, thanks again for the prayers.
My FIL's vitals are looking better and better. Problem is now, he is very confused and out of his mind. The hospital has reassured my wife that it is from the trauma he has suffered from the surgery and everything they are pumping thru him. He has prayed out loud, talked to nobody like he's in a fight by daring someone to "Come on. Come on.", looked for his wife who was standing right next to him, etc. It has my wife very on edge. Otherwise, physically, he is showing well for what has happened.

Is he on Morphine? I remember when my dad was in the hospital, they gave him Morphine, and he was saying all kinds of wacky stuff.

Glad to hear he's doing better regardless!
