Urgent Prayer Request

Hey guys, I wanted to post a prayer request for a friend of Reggie's - Sandy Vaughn. He is from Arley but he's older than me and Reggie - He chaperoned church trips as Reggie was growing up at Arley First Baptist. He went to Florida a few weeks ago for a gastric bypass procedure and when they went in they found a big mess from a previous surgery that he had. They wound up taking much longer in surgery and didn't do the actually planned procedure, just spent the whole time trying to fix what was already messed up. He had a lot of problems post surgery and they finally have figured out that he has a leak somewhere...we don't know what that means yet or what they will do next. Reggie just got off the phone with him and is really concerned about how he sounds. They have been there for two or three weeks now, just him and his wife - her son is staying with friends so he won't miss anymore school and they don't have a lot of support (she has no family here, she's from the Philippines). This was an elective surgery so he has been accruing non-insured hospital fees for weeks now - very stressful! We're just really heavy hearted for them right now - worried for his health and worried for the financial burden they'll be dealing with if he comes through this. Thanks for helping us share this burden by lifting Sandy up in prayer. We love you.

Thanks for sharing that w/ us. We can lift them up in prayer. We all know how prayer works! Is there anything else we can do to help? It sounds like their financial burden will be extensive. I will be praying.
