Update on John's Condition

Dear Prayer Partners,

This email is coming from Olympia, WA from John's son and daughter-in-law.  When John and Monette arrived in Atlanta yesterday, they found that their internet service was not working.  This should be up in the next few days and they will send an update at that time.

We just received word from John and Monette that John will be having a biopsy tomorrow.  They went through almost 6 hours of Dr. appts. today before coming to that decision.  As it stands, John will be admitted into the hospital in Atlanta for this procedure tomorrow morning.  He will have a section of bone removed and a portion of the brain biopsied.  He will then be moved to ICU for about a day for recovery and on to a regular room for probably another day.  We ask that you pray for peace and wisdom for John and Monette, that God would guide the hands of the Drs. involved and also give them wisdom as they interpret the results of the biopsy.  We also ask that you stand with us continuing to pray for a miracle.

Our family is so appreciative of all of your support and prayers at this time. We understand the desire to help and encourage John and Monette.  We ask that you would pray for them and send encouragement or scriptures that the H.S. lays on your heart.  We also ask that you would temper all emails to John and Monette with much grace and please refrain from personal stories, stories about others or medical advice, unless you are a medical professional in this area.  If you would like to offer any of these things that you feel might be a help, please use the email address below and they will be taken into consideration, without putting extra stress directly on John and Monette.  jacks_laf@yahoo.com (please put John and Monette in the subject line)
In His Hands,
Aaron and Carla Jacks

John's Situation

Prayer Partners;
 
Hi this is John. It has been a very hard time the last few days as we now know that I have 2 brain tumors and we are in need of doing something very quickly.  After  spending a lot of the night praying and thinking I feel the LORD wants us to go to Atlanta for the next bit of time.  My desire was to go to Australia for treatment but the LORD seems to want us in Georgia so we fly early tomorrow morning and I am to see a neurosurgeon on Friday morning to set up what we are to do.  We continue to pray that we are healed by the LORD. Hebrews 10:35-36 Therefore, do not cast away your confidence which has great reward for you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
 
We love you all,
 
John & Monette

John's need

Dear Prayer Partners:
 
Thank You so much for your prayers.  John had another dizzy spell much worse than the others We have been in the Emergency room in Canada and they want to admit him but had no beds available so we are in the process of being taken to the USA to get care.  They say that the need to monitor his heart beat for a couple of days as things are not right there but the good news ifs that his heart seems to be fine with the Echo Cardiogram
Please pray that we get this fix and the purpose of God be revealed.

John's prayer needs

Dear Prayer Partners,
 
We have been in Portland Oregon since September 29th and things seemed to progressing well since John's stroke while in Melbourne.  Last Sunday he had a dizzy spell and in talking to the Dr. in Australia we had to cancel going to Weiser Idaho to see John's Mom and the folks there as the Dr. band John from Driving and contemplated that the problem was the medication that he was on so as of Monday afternoon we have gone back to Aspirin.  He was feeling much better but yesterday at mid-day he had another dizzy spell and after talking to the Dr. in Australia we are monitoring how he is progressing.  He feels weak and as he was praying this morning he really felt that this was more than just physical but an attack of the enemy.  We are scheduled to fly to Canada on Saturday so we really need improvement at this point.  Please go to Prayer for him as this is a very trying time.  It seems his heart has been missing beats and that is one of the possible side effects of the medicine he was on so our hope is that this will all clear up today and things can get back to normal.   
 
Please Pray as we need change now.
 
Agape,
John & Monette
