Hello,
I am not one to ask for prayers lightly. :( My dad is in the hospital with what sounds like pneumonia. He is a heart patient with a defib/pacemaker, and a colon cancer survivor. He and my mom just got back from a trip to Canada, and I think it wore him out, and that helped him get sick. I am asking that the prayer warriors include my dad.
 
Praying for your dad, Dave.
 
Also praying for him!
 
He'll be in my prayers.
 
Praying for your father too.
 
Prayers for you and your dad and your entire family! Illness can be scary...praying that you will all have the strength to get through, and that he heals and recovers quickly.
 
Dave I have your father in my prayers!
 
Wishing your father a speedy recovery Dave!
 
Praying for your dad, Dave! It is so hard when our parents are sick...
 
He is in my prayers! Hope he has a speedy recovery!
 
Many prayers coming to him, you and the family!
 
Praying for your dad Dave!

Update, the prayers worked my dad is out of the hospital and resting at home. he is on o2 but still going and getting better each day. Praise be to GOD!!! :)
 
Dave, that is great news! I pray that God continues to touch his body and heal him completely!
 
I pray for complete healing and total recovery.

I also pray for you Dave that you take care of yourself during your fathers illness. As an ICU nurse I see many family members get into trouble by not taking care of themselves when their loved ones are ill. Please take care and get plenty of rest.
