Monday update - important news and requests

I am asking all who are called to do this to pray and fast for Dan. Dan has been diagnosed with a bacterial infection called C-diff. It is serious. He is running a high temp and has 300 WBC's. 4-10,000 is normal. He had his stent replaced and tolerated that procedure well although he says his stomach is bothering him. He is resting right now which is good, because he has not slept well due to the excessive secretions in his mouth which are due to the mouth sores which are a side effect of the chemo. The old stent was slipping out of the biliary duct into the small intestine and was replaced by a permanent wire mesh stent which is good. I believe his bili will continue to decrease with this stent. (It was down a bit this morning)

I know you have been faithful to pray all these weeks and now I am asking for even more, but it is all I can do right now. May the LORD our God divinely touch every cell of Dan's body and bring His healing power to each cell - in the Holy and precious Name above all Names, Jesus our Messiah, our Rock and Savior and Deliverer, the Holy One of Israel.

Dear Jaime,
More prayer warriors have been dispatched today on dear Dan's behalf. My sister has added Dan to her church's prayer chain in Austin and a precious sister in Christ told me she's had Dan on her heart particularly this week and will fast tomorrow and continue to pray.
