WALLACE YORK - MONDAY EVENING UPDATE

Hershael posted at 8:40pm:
Dad had to be put back on ventilator. A little setback, but heart is strong, brain function normal. They will keep him sedated a day or two.

Pray for Dad's lungs to clear, kidneys to function, body to strengthen. Recovery might take a bit longer, but we are cautiously optimistic.

WALLACE YORK - MONDAY MORNING UPDATE

Hershael writes on his Facebook update around 9:45 am Monday morning:
Doc says Dad not out of woods yet but he is cautiously optimistic. Bacteria in his blood from the stomach ulcer has caused systemic problems.

WALLACE YORK - POST SURGERY

Monday morning, 8.15 am, 6 April

Doris York called me last night from her home. Hershael and Tanya were staying at the hospital overnight with Wallace. She repeated that Wallace had come through the surgery and they had discovered a bleeding stomach ulcer. They debrided some of the contamination from his abdominal area. He is in ICU and on a ventilator. The surgeons have told them that he is 'not out of the woods' yet - that the next 24 hours will be critical.

Please continue to pray for his healing and recovery.

WALLACE YORK UPDATE

It is now 9:30 pm EDST, Sunday evening.

I got a call on my cell phone as I was leaving from church services tonight from a member who had already arrived home. He said that he accessed Hershael's Facebook page and that Hershael reported that Wallace had come through the surgery well - certainly much better than anticipated - and that he was much improved from his pre-surgery condition. I am not registered on Facebook, so I can't give you any more details than were related to me.

But, this certainly is good news - and we praise God. Continue to pray for his complete recovery.

Dave
