PRAYER #44 - MY HUSBAND'S HEALTH

Kathy (Orange County, CA, USA)

Dear Friends and Family,

I'm coming to you again to ask for prayer.

Many of you know, but a few don't, that Bob was diagnosed 6 weeks ago with pancolitis, barretts esphogas and a hialtal hernia. It appears that that pancolitis is what has been messing with his body for months now. Pancolitis is ulcerative colitis, but instead of being in a small area of the colon - has spread throughout his entire colon. The pictures are awful and the doctor said it's one of the worse cases he has seen.

Okay - so we serve a wonderful, healing God. We do believe that Bob is healed, but are walking through the process now. He's taking horse sized pills 3 times per day and following a very strict diet. But this is the deal - he's having a really hard time with food - it seems that everything makes him sick. We've worked him down to a very limited diet, trying to eliminate the things that affect him - but not working!!!!! Everything - even the most innocent seems to mess him up - every time he eats. I love the fact that he doesn't complain, but can see how tired his body is becoming. And purely from the wife's point of view - he's shrinking.

Please pray for him. Pray for his healing, pray for inspiration on what to do about food. Pray that when we see his doctor on Tuesday that he has some good suggestions - effective suggestions. Suggestions that don't keep us running back to the doctor since our medical insurance ends on Tuesday! but most of all we are praying together and ask that you join us in this - May God be glorified in the process.

We appreciate you and love you. We thank God for the body of Christ! We are grateful to be a part of you.

God bless you!
Kathy
