Your help I requested. My nephew who was 8 years old at the time, awoke one morning about 1.5 years ago and had a stomach ache. He was kept home from school that morning and several hours later as the pain became worse he was rushed to a trauma 1 center several hours later where it was determined he had a twisted intestine and was bleeding internally.

During the past 1.5 years, he has had 9 surgeries to repair the internal organ, but all failed, requiring complete removal of his intestines. Placed on a donor list, he received his new intestines about 4 weeks ago. He came through the surgery fine. Within 2 days he was completely off pain medication, sitting up in bed wanting to go home! About a week ago while at home, he began running a high fever, was rushed to the hospital where it was determined that he was experiencing full rejection. The strongest anti-immune drugs were administered at the maximum dosage immediately, he was placed in a “Bubble Room” to safeguard against illness and he has improved. By Wednesday this week, endoscopic procedure will be performed to see if the medication is successful.

The favor I ask is this, our entire family is almost paralyzed waiting and I have never asked for anything like this before, but a prayer to whom ever you believe in on behave of my nephew is requested.

Thank you for your understanding and help,

Jeff

this should give you what your looking for

 

Your nephew is in my thoughts and prayers.

I chose to quote Theologian because I noticed this gave him his 1,000th post- it couldn't have been more appropriate!

 

Prayer is a powerful tool that has been given to us, to fix lifes problems. Hope all works out.

 

He'll be in ours as well, and I'll pass this on to our prayer group too
