Urgent Prayer Request
4/24/08 Update:
The last couple of days Pastor Roscoe's recovery has been great. He has been getting alot of good night sleep, and his breathing exercises are off the charts. Tonight was the first time he was able to preach. We have missed our pastor being behind the pulpit and it was good to see him back were he belongs. Praise the Lord everything is going good. Continue to pray for his recovery and for the pain in his hip to be minimized.
4/17/08 Update:
Pastor Roscoe's recovery has been improving daily. Yesterday the visiting nurse removed the bandage on his chest and told him he is progressing very good. His breathing exercises are paying off because each day his lungs are getting stronger and he can hold more air in his lungs. He also went to church for the first time tonight since the surgery and everyone was delighted to see their pastor back in church, even though it's not behind the pulpit. Continue to pray for his recovery.
4/14/08 Update:
Pastor Roscoe was released from the hospital Sunday afternoon and is now at home recovering from surgery. He is encouraged to walk around and is allowed to go up and down the stairs once a day. He is very happy to be at home and in his own bed. He will be having a nurse visit him for the next two weeks to check his progress. Continue to pray for his recovery.
4/12/08 Update:
The doctors had Pastor walking around a couple of times today. He is still very tired and sore. The doctors are talking about a possible Sunday release from the hospital. Continue to pray for his recovery.
4/10/08 Update:
I visited Pastor Roscoe today and he is looking good. Last night the doctors took out the breathing tube. He didn't get much sleep last night due to the pain and the lack of taking good deep breaths. This morning he was relocated out of ICU to another recovery area (less intensive) where he has a room to himself. He is still in a lot of pain and will be for awhile. He is not connected to much only a heart monitor which is alot better than last night. The doctors are asking Pastor to sit up in a chair as much as possible. Pastor is very tired and wants to sleep and that is normal after this type of surgery. The family ask that Pastor has "No Visitors" because he is tired and simply needs to recover.
Please continue to pray for his recovery, we thank all who have prayed for him so far.
4/9/08 Update:
Pastor Roscoe went into surgery today at 7:00am and came out at 10:00am. The doctors had to do a quadruple bypass instead of three and he is now in ICU.
Thank you for all of your prayers, we ask you to continue to pray for his recovery.
4/3/08 Update:
Pastor Roscoe was scheduled to have a Hip Replacement next month. During a routine pre-op check up for the surgery, doctors notice some blockage in his heart again. On April 1st Pastor Roscoe went into the hospital to have 1 - 3 stents placed in his heart. During this procedure the doctors determined that the stents could not be placed into his heart and the next step would be open heart surgery.
On Wedsnday, April 9 @ 7:30am Pastor Roscoe is tentatively scheduled to have triple by-pass surgery.
On behalf of Pastor Roscoe, his family and his church, we are asking all of God's saints to pray for this man of God.
Please remember to check back here for more updates on Pastor Roscoe's surgery & recovery.
Thank you very much for your prayers
