[__ Prayer __] Risky Surgery

[handy]

My good friend Roger is going in for a very risky surgery tomorrow. He understands the risks and has decided to go forward with the surgery, even though the surgeon has told him that he is the worst candidate for the procedure that she has ever had to perform the surgery on. However, she is still accepting him as a patient, so she must have some confidence that she can do it. Nonetheless, she did tell him to "get his affairs in order" and we all know what that means.

Please uplift him in your prayers. He is accepting the risks of the surgery because the alternative would be to have a feeding tube put in and never be able to eat solid food again. This is due to the fact that he had throat cancer earlier. They were able to "get" all the cancer and it has not returned, but due to complications, well...hence the surgery.

Again, his name is Roger, he is a Christian and he covets your prayers. The surgery is due first thing tomorrow morning.

Father,
You are the great physician, and it is your will that your children be taken care of; therefore, it is our prayer that you would watch over Roger during the surgery tomorrow and give him your touch as you are with the physician performing the operation. Give Roger peace and strength during this time, and heal him so that he can proclaim your goodness to others. Thank you for your Word that tells us that whatever we ask and agree upon according to your will in the name of Jesus it will be done. I ask this in Jesus name. Amen

Keeping Roger in prayer today~ and asking for his strengthening and God's hand to be displayed...
If it be within our Father's will~ I ask for a complete restoration and healing of his body. May our Lord protect Roger with His Right hand, and sustain his life according to His power and mercy.

Even so.

Am keeping Roger in my prayers.

Would you be able to let us know the outcome of the surgery?

I spoke with Roger's wife. He went through the surgery well and is now resting comfortably. They were able to double the size of his throat without perforation (that was the extremely risky part and perforation in this particular surgery usually results in death). Once he is healed, he should be able to eat much more normally.

Thank you again for your prayers. When I spoke with him last night, he admitted to being scared. But, his wife said that this morning, before going into the surgery, the peace of God had enveloped him and he was much more able to face things. They truly appreciate the prayers.
