Prayers requested for a friend's father who has been in the hospital since before Christmas with heart problems and surgery to implant a pacemaker. Dad is still weak from the surgery, not doing as well as hoped and is not eating as well as he should, and it appears his condition is deteriorating. Prayers requested for the miracle of his healing, for his strength and will to live; for the wisdom and skill of his doctors and caregivers; and for courage and blessings for his family.
