Two Urgent Prayer Requests

I need to ask our awesome group of prayer warriors to come together in prayer for our family once again. We have two pressing needs.

1. Rebecca had surgery today. It should have been very minor outpatient surgery. However, as frequently happens with Rebecca, minor things quickly turn into something more exciting. Her sodium level dropped and she has been unable to keep down any food. Either of these things would have keep her in the hospital. With both, the doctors have decided to keep her overnight. Please pray that her sodium level will quickly return to normal and that she will be able to keep down her food so she can come home tomorrow morning or as soon as possible. Also, pray for a quick and complete recovery from this surgery.


2. I have been nearly unable to walk for the past ten days. During the last few days that I was in Russia I started to have problems with my hands and feet. It turns out I have had a toxic reaction to the oral chemo that I am on. My hands are not too bad, mostly just ugly to look at. However, my feet are causing me great pain. The folks at the cancer center have given me some things to do and stuff to take to help correct the problem. However, it may take several weeks before I'm back to normal. And, there could be some long-term damage to my hands and feet. Please join with me in prayer for immediate relief from the pain and for our Lord, the greatest physician anywhere, to touch my body and restore everything to perfect health. Pray that there will be no further complications from this chemotherapy.
