I have an urgent prayer request right there in Lynchburg. My 86-year-old grandfather underwent surgery on his heart this morning at Lynchburg General and he appeared to come out OK just before lunchtime. But in post-op, his blood pressure began dropping and the doctors believe he has internal bleeding. This is apparently a very serious situation.

I ask you to join me right now in praying for my grandfather and the doctors attending to him.

He's been healthy for an 86-year-old man. But there were complications today.

Thanks for all of the prayers. My grandfather is stable but still in ICU at Lynchburg General. He's improved enough to be cracking jokes.

Gracias
