A dear friend of ours has been hospitalized and had emergency surgery this morning.
The doctors removed the muscle of his right forearm and most of the tissue around his left hip. They say that he will not be able to use the fingers of his right hand and that he will not walk again.
They say the disease will remain in his system for up to six weeks, so his ordeal is far from over.
Please pray for him. He is a very, very good and kind man.
Our friend is a master electrician, and he is a young man.
Thank you, Alamo-Girl.
Thank you, EDINVA.

Rodgers Sharon: Prayers for Jesse!
Doctors say that because white blood cell count is still high that the infection is still in Jesse’s body and that they will do testing to look for the source of the infection, including testing heart and lungs. Also, surgery to clean...See More
Although his white blood cell count is trending downward - now about 1400, down from 2900 last weekend - docs say that there’s still an infection source somewhere and it must be located in order to continue effective treatment.
Yesterday he had heart and lung tests looking for the infection source and the doctors said that, although we must wait for final test results, they think his heart looks okay!
Also, his wounds are continuing to heal very well!
I have no doubt that prayer is the reason Jesse’s doing so well, considering the seriousness of this disease and the fact that it wasn’t caught early.
Words can’t express our gratitude for your prayers.
Much thanks to all who have been keeping Jessie inn your prayers. God bless you and yours,
All these friends and more who do not know Jesse are still praying for him. Some have just clicked the like button but are still praying while not leaving comments. There are many who shared the message for prayers on their own timelines and so there are numerous others I do not know who have Jesse in their prayers. Thank you so much for the continued updates pax. God bless you, and I pray your packing and moving goes smooth with no problems. God Bless,
OV
Prayers continuing for Jesse!!
God is so good. May He hold and keep Jesse, and all of his medical team, for a successful surgery and recovery. In Jesus’ name.
Then, it’s rest, rest, rest to complete the healing ;)
Update to Update at 192:
Sorry for so many update pings today, but doctors changed today’s plan!
Jesse’s surgery is rescheduled for tomorrow because there was a lot of fluid in his shoulder so a little while ago they drained it.
He’s back in his room now. We just talked with him and he’s as sweet and optimistic as ever!
I know he’ll LOVE getting this thread and reading all of your prayers and kind words for him!
Much love, again, and humongous thanks for prayers!
