UPDATE
Last night the doctor’s put a drain in Peter’s left lung. It seems to be working some, but they don’t know how well it is working or whether they will need to do something more drastic. The drain will be monitored closely throughout the day to see how it does.
Peter seems to be in a great deal of pain. It’s hard to know the small ways we can help him since he cant talk to us.
Here are some things you can pray for:
1) Pray that the Lord would encourage Peter and that we would also know how to encourage him.
2) Pray for our stamina as one of us will be at the hospital 24/7 to care for Peter. Even though there are nurses at the hospital, we want to be there for him. Also the nurses cannot hear when Peter’s trach gets plugged so it’s important that someone is close by to suction Pete so he can breathe.
3) Pray that God would bring Peter through this quickly, and for complete healing.
God have mercy on you, dear Peter, and on every member of the family.
Lovingly, Cherry Neill
