My Brother-in-law - Ed Hurst - 01-30-2025
Early in the week my brother-in-law (David Davis) went to the ER. He was very ill with pneumonia. While there, he suffered a heart-attack. In the midst of testing, they discovered he had had a serious heart-attack a year ago. They can't do anything more than cursory testing because his body is struggling too hard. He is now also suffering emphysema (COPD). So, right now his heart is working about 5% while his body is fighting the infections. If they can't get it under control, there's too great a likelihood he will have more heart-attacks until he's dead. If he lasts long enough, I plan to go see him Saturday. He's about 72 years old, been a smoker his whole adult life. I performed the wedding between him and my sister some years ago.

Prayers that the Comforter will reveal himself, strengthening him in the inward man and bringing healing to his body.

I spent a little time with David today. He's been downgraded from ICU to Critical Care. He is sleeping a lot, can't stand the food, and has plenty of company most days. He is now coughing up sputum and it's the right color for someone on the mend. More tests/procedures are coming Monday. I prayed with him before I left.
