Prayers requested for my father

I posted about a year ago asking prayers for my father, who had some back problems, and was facing surgery and long-time therapy. The time since then has been one of struggle for him. He has been in and out of the hospital numerous times, and each time he became weaker. He is now close to the end of his struggle. I got a call last night from the nursing home saying he had been taken to the hospital because he had no pulse. His heart was restarted, but he had two cardiac arrests at the hospital. He is on a ventilator and meds to try to keep his blood pressure stabilized, but there are no real signs of life. The doctor said he doesn't know how long Dad was without a pulse, but there is likely extensive brain damage.

He is in St. Louis and I am in the Chicago area, and will be going down later today.

Dad is a Christian man. He is a proud veteran of the Korean War era and a true blue conservative and patriot. I know he is in God's hands. I ask your prayers for him, and for me, as we go through one of life's moments.

Please forgive me if I do not respond right away or even today. I have a lot on my mind and a lot to do. But I do appreciate all of you in the community of prayer here on FR.

I’ll put him in my prayers. I had laser back surgery for a herniated disc and did pretty well with it. I’m definitely in less pain.

Been there, did that, watched the machines get shut off.

It just sucks to lose your Dad, even when you know it’s coming.

Sounds like a great man. He has my prayers(as well as you).

Prayers up.

As a Christian, if your Dad dies, it is a promotion to Heaven.

He can hear you, so talk to him. Remind him of your love and Christ’s love for him.
