UPDATE ON HUSBAND
Hey Dear Friends-
I think most of you know that my dh, Steve, has been extremely ill the last while. He had another gi bleed and this time almost didn't make it. However, on top of that, during the course of his hospitalization, several tests, scans, etc. were done. Due to the results of some lab work, the drs. were concerned and believed he had developed cancer. For the last several days we have been very anxious while waiting for the results, but this afternoon we were told that he does NOT have cancer!
He continues to be quick sick, is very weak and always tired, but he is home again! Our prayer is that soon a liver will become available, that is a match for him, and he can receive his transplant.
I want to thank all of you who so faithfully are supporting us with your prayers, thoughts, and kind words. We are so blessed. Please continue to remember us and also the families who make the decision to allow their deceased loved ones organs to be harvested for donation. It must be such a heart wrenching choice to have to make at a time of great loss. Everyday I say a prayer of thanks for those precious families.
Huggs All Around,
Pam

The Lord has blessed me with the gift of intercessory prayer. There are 2 medical issues that I find I'm particularly in tune with, when I pray: 1) cancer (ever since my experience with my mother), and 2) organ transplant needs. I say this, not to toot my own horn but to encourage you that I have seen miracles, over and over and over again.
In my church alone, I have been blessed to "pray in" a heart, 2 livers, and a kidney. That sounds funny, I know, but it has been faith opportunities for me and for the people who were waiting and waiting.
The Bible talks about having the faith to talk to a mountain and tell it to move. It has been my experience that when the mountain MUST move, there is faith enough to move it.
I hope you and your husband will speak words of life, in regard to a liver transplant. Be positive that it will happen, at just the right moment. Actually, I was impressed that your husband needed a liver transplant, but I wasn't brave enough to put it in my last reply to you, but I was also impressed that God would provide. I think I did put that in my last reply.
Stay strong, Pam. Be joyous, and rest in the One who loves you and your husband so very much.
Blessings,

I am so sorry your husband is so ill. I can't imagine how hard that must be on you both.
Personally I have already talked to my husband about being an organ doner. Its on my drivers lis also. If I have anything worth keeping if something happens to me, I want to be able to save someone else. (I hope I said that how I meant it!)
I pray for your husband to get the liver he needs.
