Please pray for Dad

Just a quick update to let you know Dad is not doing so well at the moment.  His liver and kidneys are struggling, and he has had a catheter inserted to relieve him of the bloating caused by the buildup of fluids.  Last night he was in a lot of pain, despite the constant drip of morphine he was self-administering.  Thus, the doctors are watching him more closely than ever and talks this morning are that he may be moved to the ICU.
 
Mom wasn't feeling well last night, but is better this morning although she is very tired. 
 
Please continue to pray for Dad, and for the treatment he is receiving, and we will trust our benevolent Father...

This is very difficult for you all. We continue to pray that the transplant takes hold, and that better days are around the corner. We commend you to God's care.

"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. Ps. 62:1,2.
