Church guide

Sermon series on Philippians begins tomorrow! Read Philippians 1 and Acts 16 in preparation for tomorrow's message!

And here he is!

From Diana Forehand: We’re out!!! The prayers have be answered!! We are staying with some fabulous folks! We can’t wait to get home but can’t fly until July 21!

Good news on Paul Forehand! This from Diana: Drum roll please...looking to discharge tomorrow (Wed in Aussie)!!! Praise the Lord!!! Cleared to fly July 21. Paul will get an echo of his heart as soon as can be arranged but can be outpatient not preclude discharge.

Here is the latest on Paul Forehand: So the blood counts are holding and look good so heparin is infusing to break up the clots. They are checking counts every 6 hours. If after 24 hours the counts are good he will go to oral. Back home he will have checks probably monthly & if all looks good he could be off the blood thinner in 6 months. But we will probably be here at least 2 more weeks.

From Diana: prayer update for Paul: We need a storm of prayer again. Paul has a large clot in 1 lung & several smaller one in another lung. They are trying to get blood to see if they can give a blood thinner yet. They will scan his legs today to see if there are clots there. This is all just overwhelming.

Paul Forehand is back on the hospital. Seems to be potentially another bleed. He is currently in the ER but will be readmitted to ICU. Keep Paul and Diana I’m your prayers.

Update on Paul Forehand from Diana: Paul is making great progress! He will be getting another blood transfusion just to boost his hemoglobin but otherwise is up & walking & will start a full diet Thursday. We did not see GI docs today but hopefully in the am & they will make the call about discharge & clearing him to fly. The staff here is wonderful! If you want to look it up, his rare vascular malformation is called a Dieulafoy lesion. This is what was bleeding & they clipped. Not sure if he'll have a 3rd endoscopy before he can be discharged. His 2nd one looked good. Will send another update after we talk to the GI docs.

Update on Paul Forehand. Paul is doing well. The second procedure revealed that there was no new bleeding, it was residual blood from his earlier episode. Diana has arrived. They are sorting out how to get Daniel back to the U.S. now.

Another update. Just got a message from Daniel. Paul is out of his second procedure and is waking up. He is alert and doing good.

Prayer update for Paul Forehand. As many of you know, Paul became ill while traveling home from Papua, New Guinea. He had emergency surgery in Australia for internal bleeding. Initial reports have been very positive. However, he is going for another endoscopy because there is some more bleeding. They aren't sure if this is a new bleed or if it is from his previous episode. His wife, Diana is in route. His grandson, Daniel, who went on the mission trip with him remains with him at the hospital.
