Without going into a long and drawn out story, a close friend has ended up in the hospital, in pretty much a comatose condition. Ken is in his early 70's and to be frank, in terrible physical condition. Latest medical info is he has bleeding in his brain, had a heart attack on the way to hospital, suffered kidney damage and has several clots in his one arm and legs.
The prognosis is obviously not good, and I know that without a miraculous recovery, Ken would not want to go on. I know under the same conditions, most of us, myself included, would not.
So my prayer request is that Ken either recover to the point where he can still enjoy life, and his family can still enjoy him, or for a rapid and painless demise if that is what the Lord has in mind. As he is, both he and his family is suffering. Of course there is no question which one I prefer, as he has been a good friend for a number of years, but that's not a decision I am empowered to make.
Thanks in advance.
