I was just informed that LisaAnn's dear brother Tim is in serious condition and taken to a hospital, we need to band together and lift him up in prayer please? I don't have all the details but at this point we don't need them God knows him. We only need to agree in prayer for Tim to recover. Also pray for LiasAnn and her family as this is a lot of stress and worry> Thank you ever so much.

We got your back LiasAnn. Many prayers for your dear brother sweetheart. May the hand of God lift him up and heal him and give him peace in Jesus name.

We love you girl ~ Rachel

Thanks, again, Huelani. For the updates. Going BOLDLY to the thrown. Laying all at Jesus' feet. LisAnn, Tim, his health team, everyone, everthing!

Thanks so much Mary, Rachel and everyone for your continuing prayers for Tim and his return to good health! Good news that the biopsy procedures went well today (Monday). No results yet of course but Tim's heart doctor feels that his kidneys are stabilized enough that he's planning to do exploratory heart surgery tomorrow (Tuesday). This will hopefully give the doctors more information so they can plan what heart procedures will most benefit Tim.

So please pray extra strong prayers tomorrow (Tuesday) for strength for Tim and for his heart doctor for success with the exploratory surgery. LisaAnn is sounding very positive about expecting Tim to get better so let's keep up the hope!

Many prayers today. Keep us updated.

I understand more than you know. I have heart issues and must get tests and ok from cardiologist before undergoing any surgery or major procedures. But, I've been making liars out of doctors for MANY years! Praise God!

Latest news is that the heart doctor postponed the catheterization procedure on Tuesday as he was concerned that the dye would stress Tim's kidneys. With all the cardiac experience that Mary's had and I know that Rachel is familiar too with this procedure it's too bad it had to be postponed as that would have been so helpful to determine the condition of Tim's heart. Now Tim's doctors are waiting for the results of the biopsies that were done on Monday to assess his kidney function ~ it's still going to be another day or two before they have those.

It's been a very slow process as far as LisaAnn is concerned about Tim's care though perhaps they're just being extra careful. At least Tim is alive, reasonably comfortable and not being subjected to a lot of poorly thought out treatments nor is he apparently being rushed out of the hospital. So we shall see what happens and I'll keep you posted with what I hear from LisaAnn. Thanks so much Mary, Rachel, Elsie, Judy and everyone for keeping Tim and LisaAnn in your prayers ~ it means the world to her!

Thanks for keeping us updated, Huelani. It is encouraging to hear that the doctors are proceeding with caution. Good news, indeed!
