prayer

a very dear friend has come ill. the symptoms and the guesses lead to a diagnosis of leukemia. the family has suspicions and concerns that an orthopedic implant composed of a metal alloy has caused the trouble. they are having difficulties finding doctors who either agree or will accept the possibility or the connection between the two. the doctors want to do a marrow transplant and as I understand it, are not open to other alternative theories.

at this point, nobody really seems to know and it's all guesswork. his condition is very unstable at this point and some sort of treatment is needed very soon if he's going to make it.

i would ask, if you have a mind to, to pray for this man and his family and most of all his doctors to make wise decisions and be open to find the right answer to the right question.

disclaimer:  caution must be taken when reading my blog.  i'm a new creature and the Lord continues to mold and shape me through his will.  older entries may seem to contradict the newer ones.  there's a pretty good chance that they do for two reasons.  first, because of my nature, as i strive for perfection, i will continue to fall short of the mark and should therefore be thankful for his grace and should seek his (and your) forgiveness for having been so foolish in the past.   second, i continue to grow in him; and as changes are made, i have made attempts to change my blog to reflect those changes. in this event, please refer to #1.   if you're interested in perfection, my blog isn't the place to be.  pick up a king james bible (yup, i'm one of THOSE people) and read his PERFECT word.
