Prayers for Gordon, that his physicians be guided in his care by the Unmercenary Physicians, Cosmas and Damian, and that he be restored to health and granted many years more with his loved ones.

Thank you for your prayers. As it turns out, there is no evidence of a stroke based on the MRI results. This is very disconcerting. Also, he is having trouble swallowing, and his doctor told my father that they should not install a g-tube out of concern for so-called "quality of life" issues! My father and I just got off the phone and he agreed that a g-tube is not very intrusive, and we cannot simply starve him to death. Amazing! It makes me very concerned about hospitals and doctors these days. Oh yes - and his doctor is ALSO my doctor... I'm very grateful that the Church's teaching is clear on these issues. Ordinary means cannot be withheld, even in the interest of a nebulously defined "quality of life"! Please continue to pray...
