From Sandy -
Ron has an infection in the g-tube. It's the tube that was inserted in his stomach to feed him. It now is showing blood and around the tube itself it is red and swollen. I would appreciate prayers for him. He thinks he is dying. I told him he was not. I don't feel that this is going to kill him. They are administering antibiotics and hopefully they will do the trick.
When Ron started crying today, I was absolutely brought to my knees. At this point, I don't know what to tell him or what to tell myself. I prayed for him aloud in front of him. He listened. I prayed for the Lord to heal him and make him whole. To strengthen him and grant him peace, love and serenity. Ron stopped crying after my prayer. I know the Lord heard and answered. I shut myself in the restroom after that and prayed again. I went away feeling that Ron would overcome this setback.
To all of you who have been through something like this or are facing something like this - the only way I can overcome fear, despair, heartache - is to trust the Lord. I am doing this right now as I sit here in front of my computer. I sought the Lord and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears.
My heart aches for the two of you. Im praying. Im thankful that Ron felt the Lord's love and peace when you prayed. I pray this is why the Lord took him to this point, may his body and lungs begin to heal that he might know the Lord hears and answers our prayers. I love you!
