...for Frank, who will have surgery tomorrow to remove a section of his colon because of repeated attacks of diverticulitis.
...for Tom (not my Tom) who will have surgery in a few days to remove a tumor on his brain.
O God, the strength of the weak and the comfort of sufferers: Mercifully accept our prayers, and grant to your servants Frank and Tom the help of your power, that their sicknesses may be turned into health, and our sorrow into joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
UPDATE: Frank's surgery went very well. The doctors were able to do a laparoscopy.
Prayers ascending.
ReplyDeletePrayers for them both.
ReplyDeleteMore prayers..
ReplyDeleteprayers from me too, for Frank's continuing recovery and for Tom.
ReplyDeletePrayers for Frank and Tom.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the prayers. Frank is my brother-in-law, and Tom is a friend. I heard from Tom's partner today, and both are in good spirits and want the surgery over. His surgery is scheduled for the Monday after Easter.
ReplyDeleteI was in a hurry last night when I posted, and I misspelled laparoscopy badly. I have now corrected my spelling. Even when I spell the word correctly, Firefox underlines in red.
