    Prayer request for my friend- I'm afraid he's going to die.

    This is my first prayer request here and I would be very grateful if you could pray for my friend. He works with my husband and actually lived with us for a month awhile back.

    He has "Agent Orange" from Desert Storm, he's also very overweight, in his 50's has high blood pressure and needs heart surgery. The doctors can't operate on him until he loses a lot of weight. He's working hard to lose the weight, but I don't know if he can do it fast enough. He's been having vision loss from his high blood pressure. He takes medicine for it and a bunch of other stuff, but apparently it isn't working that well. He's been in and out of the hospital lately. This past Sunday he had a stroke... I'm really worried that I'm going to be attending his funeral soon. [:(]

    Thank you all for the continued prayers! It really means a lot! [:)] *Hopefully* I'll have good news to report in a few months. Martin is on a strict weight watchers diet and walking everyday. He's lost a total of about 60 pounds since he first starting trying to lose the weight a few months ago. He's got at least another 150 to go I would think. It really is hard to lose the weight, especially when you can't exercise too hard because of a heart condition. I'm fearing the worst, but hoping for the best...

    Lori, I didn't know my mailbox was full. I wonder how long it's been like that [:o] thank you for letting me know. And of course thank you so much for praying my friend!!
