More prayer needed

Brannon has made some progress in terms of recovering from surgery. He walked this morning and is up in the chair.

However, his stomach is not moving fluids through as it should. He as a tube in his nose that goes down to stomach and withdraws fluid from it. It should be decreasing in amount from the very start of post surgery. Instead it is increasing. This is not a good sign.

Please pray for God to do what only he can. Specifically the stomach needs to kick into gear and start moving fluids downward into the intestines. This would be a huge success. When the stomach works the tube can come out and he can start to eat again. Without ingesting food the colon doesn't have a chance to learn how to work again. And in case you are wondering, he hasn't eaten since the weekend.

Thanks for your prayers.
