We Covet Your Prayers
Posted on 13. Jul, 2010 by Rachel
This is not really related to the liver PSC problems...the doctor said it can be caused by previous surgeries and scar tissue which builds up and blocks the "pipes."
We appreciate prayers that the "pipes" would clear up and that the passage would not be blocked anymore. If the blockage continues Bruce may be sent to Denver for surgery to take care of the problem. He has been chewing ice chips all day because he is not able to eat so that he can give his intestines a rest. He also has been on pain meds most of the day and so he sleeps most of the time. He is not allowed to have visitors for a few more days. Thank you for thinking of us and praying as we rest quietly.
We are praying for Thursday and Friday as the liver transplant team meets...that God will give wisdom and insight. We are hopeful and trusting as God knows the "plans He has for us." Jer 29:11
We appreciate the hundreds that are praying for this crucial time in Bruce's life.
This is a note from our pastor Bruce's wife Donna:
We want to thank everyone for their continued prayers for Bruce...we continue to struggle with health complications. Sunday evening we took another trip to the ER because he was having extreme lower stomach pain. About 3:00 AM they admitted to the hospital after he was diagnosed with an intestinal blockage.

We also called, a new associate pastor and family to assist in our ministry, and they accepted. Derek and June and their kids are a God send at a God time. Thank you Jesus for your perfect ways, and the amazing plans you have for us. I rest and trust in you alone for living a confident and effective christian life, whatever comes my way. You are in control, and are so good, all the time.

I was just wondering this evening how things were going with Bruce. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.
