Prayer needs ping!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1738808/posts?page=120#120

I just received this e-mail from my sister-in-law......

Prayers are needed for a friend and co worker of Gretchen. His name is Chris and he is dying. Chris is 37, his wife is Sherry and they have 2 children, ages 4 and 8.

Long story short, he thought he was a healthy young man until a few weeks ago when he started having some stomach issues and was losing weight. Blood tests showed diabetes. Friday night he was stopped by the police for what they thought was drunk driving. He wasn't drunk but was very disoriented and the police called an ambulance. Test showed that he had lots of tumors in the area of his stomach and he was admitted to the hospital.

Saturday night he started ripping out his IVs, told his wife that he didn't know her and was getting out of there to get a soda. They had to restrain him to his bed, did more tests and found a tumor on his brain. They put him in ICU

Monday finds him in a coma. Tests came back conclusive that he has an aggressive cancer (Gretchen didn't know what kind) and there is nothing they can do for him. The doctors have talked to Sherry about putting him on life support.

Not only do the family need prayers but Gretchen needs them as well. She is close to Chris as they have worked together for a number of years. The hard part for Gretchen is that this reminds her too much of her moms death and how the children just don't understand what is going on. She sobs every time we talk and I am doing the best I can to comfort her.

Thanks. Kim
