EMERGENCY UPDATE ON BARRY - PLEASE PRAY

Ruth just phoned and said that Barry was not doing well and he was heading in for surgery right now. His stomach had been hurting for several days...HE is nauseated and hurting more and they think it might be perforated intestines, so she was requesting more prayers. She said the hospital is a very large one and they were confident in Barry's doctors. PLEASE PRAY!

PRAY for Barry AND Ruth

While Barry is hospitalized far away from home and Ruth is staying nearby...more has happened. Ruth either sprained or tore a ligament in or near her knee and spent 4 hours in the ER waiting for and receiving treatment - she has a splint to deal with and needs to stay off it as much as possible - recovery is 3 to 5 weeks. She says it won't be a problem since she's been mostly sitting, anyway --
.
Barry had some difficulty last night...His MRI results did show that he does have meningitis. He will have about two weeks of antibiotic treatment ahead of him - but hopefully will be able to leave the hospital long before then.
.
PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! FOR GOD'S DIVINE INTERVENTION FOR THEIR PHYSICAL HEALING AND SPIRITUAL ENCOURAGEMENT!

PRAY FOR BARRY

Many of you have been keeping up with Barry's life and death challenges the last few days via email. Barry's fall and subsequent hospitalization have left us stunned. Yet, the wonderful news that we are hearing today is that he is up, walking, shaving, and talking. WOW! God has made the healing process to work in such amazing ways. Please keep Barry, Ruth, and family in your prayers. It looks like up to another week of hospitalization is possible.
