Prayer Request

To all the readers:

Please pray for the Wendell Kelly family, we had to take Wendell into the hospital on Wednesday to be treated for his gangrene in his left foot. His tests had shown that he had had a heart attack within the last 24-48 hours, so he was transferred to a hospital in Johnstown. Wednesday night, they took him into surgery to see how far the gangrene had spread.

When the surgeons came out, they had needed to amputate his left foot due to all the infection. The surgeon came out and told us this, and Grandma Kelly just broke down. Everyone did. The gangrene had eaten through the skin and muscle and cartilage, right into the ankle bone. Saturday, he is to be going into surgery where they will cut his leg again, three inches below his knee so they can fit him for a prosthetic limb.

I have been at the hospital since Wednesday when they took him in and transferred him. I was able to come home last night and get some sleep. Today, we are going back to the hospital to keep him company. Grandma, Teresa, and I are going to be there all today, then Teresa and I are spending the night at the hospital. Please pray for his surgery on Saturday, and also, he needs a heart surgery after this, so please pray for that as well.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
