The Situation with John's Dad

We humbly ask for continued prayer for John's father. The doctor's believe he has pancreatic cancer and they cannot treat it due to his already failing health. He has been in the hospital on a feeding tube, unable to walk, and at times talk, since May 15 and now is suffering with abdominal pain and they found a tumor on his pancreas. The doctor's are running more "tests" and will give the family some kind of something on Wednesday. It is being talked abdout that he would return home very shortly for hospice care until he passes away, which could be soon or as long as 3 months depending on how quickly the cancer spreads. Once the cancer blocks the pancreas, he will pass away in 10 days or less from sepsis. This is so heartbreaking. Only the Lord knows the day He has planned, but we continue to ask for prayer for the family and John's dad during this very difficult time.
