Sorry about the vanity, but Chris and his family need prayers urgently
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

My prayers go out to he and his family.
His wife needs a lot of prayers as well as she has to remain strong for her kids. She has a lot to bear at the moment and so does her husband. This is a real tragedy.
May God bless Chris and his family and give them strength.
