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.

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!
