new MRI results

Keith had another MRI this past Wednesday. The results show significant improvement in his brain. Praise God for His continuous healing!!! Let's continue to pray for the #3 nerve to fully heal, so that Keith can open his right eye. And pray against double vision! Pray against all effects on the eye from his diabetes.

We also praise God for his smooth recovery from his surgery last week. He's been going out more often also. Thanks to all those who are picking him up to take him around town and to church.

pray for quick recovery

This morning, Keith returned to Queen of Angels for a few hours to undergo a minor surgery. He was knocked out for a few hours and returned home in the afternoon. Due to his recovery, he had to postpone receiving therapy. Please pray that his recovery will go smoothly. Pray that his body will be ready to receive therapy by Friday. Thank you to those who graciously offer their time and energy to transport Keith around town. You are truly angels sent from God!

Returning to Early Morning Prayer!

Since his start as the high school pastor at ANC last July, Keith did not miss an early morning prayer meeting on Saturday's. Since November, Keith finally returned to his usual Saturday morning duties. He was out of the house by 5:30 this morning! One of the parents came a long way to pick him up, so we thank the Lord for providing such servants of God. We are so thankful that the Lord continues to bless my brother with fervency in his faith and prayer life. Let's pray that God would continue to answer the cries of his heart for himself, the church, and for the nations.

Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever
(Ps. 73:25, 26)

updated prayer requests

Apologies for not updating. I was hoping my brother would own this blog and update himself...but he gives me the freedom to share how he's doing.

Update on Keith's eye
Yesterday, he saw the eye doctor. They did a lot of tests on Keith. The results confirmed damage to the number 3 nerve, which is causing slowness in opening the eye as well as double vision. The doctor suggested Keith to wait at least a year before taking any action to correct the eye. This surgical procedure is not an easy one and requires 3 separate procedures. He will check Keith's recovery in 3 months. No therapy will help Keith to open his eye or to correct the double vision. It's just a matter of time for the number 3 nerve to heal. PRAY for complete healing to this nerve so that Keith can open the right eye. Pray against double vision. When this nerve is healed, the double vision may disappear. As I spoke with my brother today, he said confidently to me, "don't worry, the double vision will go away". Indeed, he has more faith than me! I was truly encouraged by his persistent faith and trust in our amazing God.

Also, Keith's vision has not changed much. However, the doctor discovered some changes to his eyes from his diabetes. Pray against diabetes and all the effects it has on his body!

Pray for continuous therapy
Keith's therapies are only scheduled until this Friday. Please pray that another few weeks of therapy will be approved by the insurance company. Pray that this procedure can happen quickly so he can continue therapy next week.

Pray for a minor surgery this upcoming Tues
Yes, can you believe Keith will actually return to Queen of Angeles hospital? Why? I'm not certain exactly what's going on, but he's been experiencing something similar to hemorrhoids. He will undergo a surgery this Tuesday to alleviate his pain. Pray for a smooth surgery and recovery. He will undergo general anesthesia, which means no food intake for many many hours. Pray for divine strength through this entire process.
