Emergency Surgery for Andrew

Andrew had emergency surgery in the middle of the night last night (please see post from yesterday). Mom told me that yesterday was probably the hardest day yet. He was in extreme pain. They discovered that his small intestine was completely blocked. They think this was something originally caused by all of the emergency surgeries he had while in Iraq. It just surfaced now. He is currently in the ICU on the ventilator. Please pray for him. He has endured so much. It really is hard to put into words what he has been through. It's truly unimaginable. Pray for his health, but also pray for his heart. I cannot imagine the emotional toll that all of this is taking on him. There are so many things still 'wrong' with him physically. The road ahead is so very long. Pray for strength beyond himself. Pray that God will draw near to him at this time. I'll keep you posted as to how he is doing. Thank you!
