Humbly asking for all of your prayers for a former patient and friend, Michael. He suffered an unexpected stroke about a month ago at age 46. CT scans not only revealed a spot on his liver and kidney, but he has been diagnosed with Polycythemia, an abnormal over- production of his red blood cells.
They are not certain yet if it is the "vera" type, which is fatal. There is a possibility of them scheduling a bone marrow biopsy in the near future to determine if it is. In the meantime, he will be undergoing an ultrasound on March 11th to determine the nature of the "spots" on his liver and kidney. We are hoping it is the reversible type, which will allow him to live out his full life as God originally intended.
Mike is a great guy, and has always demonstrated determination in whatever faced him. He's been dealing with a chronic back pain over the last three years, which cost him his lucrative career. He's raised three boys on his own. He's never complained about it, or once felt sorry for himself. Now this. He really needs our prayers now.
Again, I ask for all of you to pray for Mike's comfort and strength in battling this illness, for his only son Daniel, and God's intercession to hopefully cure this dreaded disease.

Saying a prayer as I reply. Asking God to keep those tumors benign.

May God continue to watch over this man and guide his doctors and nurses and restore him to health, in Jesus' name.

,,, certainly, prayers are with Mike from downunder. It's quite sobering - I'm 46 too and thank God for my good health so far.
To: kstewskis

PRAYER FOR MIKE
Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick,
we turn to You in this time of illness.
0 dearest Comforter of the Troubled, alleviate our
worry and sorrow with Your gentle love, and grant us
the grace and strength to accept this burden.
Dear God, we place our worries in Your hands.
We place our sick under Your care and humbly ask
that You restore Mike to health again.
Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge
Your holy will and know that whatsoever You do,
You do for the love of us.
Amen
