Prayers for David

Please pray for my brother in law, David. He was admitted to Abbott on Monday evening due to an ear infection spreading into his bone. It was very scary at first because the doctors were concerned that the infection may also have spread into his brain. It did not, and for this we are very thankful.

He does have to have surgery this morning to remove the infection, and depending on the severity, some or all of the bone behind the ear (the mastoid). What he has is called mastoiditis and is very rare, hence why it was not caught by the doctors 2 months ago when he initially went in for his ear infection!

Please pray that surgery goes well, for healing, and for a safe recovery. There is also a chance he could lose some of his hearing in that ear, please pray that there is none or minimal lose.

Thank you!
