This is a recent update on our friend Russ Spengler.
This is from Dawn his wife.
Thankyou all for your Prayers : )

Hello to All! I know that everyone is busy with Christmas around the corner, but I really need some Heavy Duty Prayer Intercession. I am sure that prayer groups are not meeting during this time but if you can get this email to those people or call them! that would really help.

Russ had a test done showing that indeed he does have fluid on his brain. We have known this b/c of his lack of progress since he fell/seizure the first day of his stay on the rehab floor. The Doctors are now sitting on this test and deciding what to do. Tomarrow will be a week that the neurosurgeons have had the test in hand. The rehab Dr. is getting upset with me asking every day if he has heard from them. Russ's mental progress has come to a standstill and we in the family can see this clearly. Yet somehow the Dr's involved here do not see it or the urgency to get this fluid off his brain. I know that if they get the fluid off his brain that his mental processing will progress quickly. He was doing more mentally on the 7th floor than he is now doing after a month on the rehab floor. To me, it is plain that this procedure must be done. These Dr.s are dragging their feet and the communication b/w them is horrible.

Please pray that God will make a way for the Dr. to be decisive and do this shunt procedure quickly. I feel like I am fighting an entire establishment here and I really need prayer strength from you all to help me push this "established" wall back.

I will let you all know as soon as I know what they decide.

Under His Wing,
DAWN
