Josh just went in for emergency surgery an hour ago. Needs your prayers.. <div>
Today Josh is fighting for his life. The Doc says he’s seen many cases of pancreatitis, but his is one of the worst...</div> <div> </div> <div>When he went in there was an abscess as large as the pancreas itself, (between the pancreas & stomach) that had ruptured. And with all the swelling he has not been able to see what he needs to see to repair all the possible damage (mainly to the intestines).</div> <div> </div> <div>If he wasn’t 37 years old he would be gone by now. He’s fighting the good fight.. But it’s breaking my heart to see him this way. Keep Joshua in your prayers everyone. He has two small boys at home that need their Dad.</div> <div> </div> <div>Howard</div> <div> </div>

I thought I has commented on this, but see I hadn't.  Sorry.

I hope your son is doing better, and I have included on my prayer list.  Will keep it up.
