re: Wallace York
I am going to write as quickly as I can and get this online – but I started receiving phone calls on my way home from services this morning that an announcement had been made in Ashland Avenue Baptist Church that Wallace York was in the hospital in Madisonville and was in critical condition – life-threatening.
I just spoke with Doris York, who is in the ER with him. He has been sick for most of the week. Has been to the ER 4 times already before this morning. He has been suffering from an obstructed bowel. They have performed several enemas of different kinds. This morning, he began to vomit a dark substance. They don’t know whether it’s dried blood or what. They suspect he has a perforated colon and infection may be setting into his abdominal area.
He has also contracted pneumonia from the inactivity of the past several days, and his kidneys are shutting down.
They are preparing the operating room as quickly as they can to perform the emergency surgery to try to determine what his condition is. There are many risks. He may not survive the surgery. But, he is in God’s hands. Doris is understandably very shaken up, but they are committing themselves into the care of the Father’s wisdom and love.
Please pray for Brother Wallace and Doris – and their family – and for the surgeons who will be performing the surgery.
To you fellow directors of BFM – Wallace specifically told Doris to call the Directors of BFM and ask us to pray for him. Wallace loves us – and we love him.
