Prayer needed for Papaw Craig

James was barely making it home this weekend when he received a call from his mom to tell him that his dad is heading to the hospital. He was complaining of stomach pains and running a fever. James headed straight to the hospital at midnight. At 4am James finally called with an update that they were taking him back into surgery to find out what the problem is. He said that they were looking for the worst. They did an MRI and is showed nothing so the were possible thinking Cancer. They were apprehensive to put him under because his blood pressure was bottoming out and they were worried about the risk of putting him under. When they opened him up they found that his colon had burst inside of him. They had to completely remove his colon. He is recuperating and heavily sedated. He is still in a lot of pain and trying to get some rest. Of course the risk of infection is very high so we are needing some prayers sent up to help heal Papaw Craig. I will keep everyone posted.

On a good note we dedicated the babies at church tonight. My sister and niece even came to see. They were a hit and I have to admit that I loved hearing all of the "ooooooooooohhhhhhhhs" when we stood in front of the camera for the church to see our beautiful babies.

Kelly,
I will certainly pray for James's dad. Keep us updated.
