OK, so some of you know this, and some of you don't, but here it is for the masses.
Please continue to pray for my grandpa.
He had surgery last night, and it didn't go very well. They found more cancer, and had to remove more of his stomach than they thought. In addition, they had to remove his spleen, pancreas, and part of his colon as well. You can live without all of these things, but it's pretty major surgery to have them all removed at once when you're 84 years old. He was on a ventilator, and the doctor didn't think he was going to make it.
Thanks to what I can only describe as a miracle (and it put the belief in prayer and the power of God back into me), two hours after I got the call telling me that he was probably not going to make it, I got another call saying he was awake and breathing on his own. He went from dying to talking in a matter of hours. No one, especially not the doctor, was anticipating that.
So, all that to say thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts. Please continue to pray for him.
