Urgent Prayers for Dad** Updated

**Update** First of all thank you so much for your messages, I am clinging to them right now. Dad is physically still here, I am praying that spiritually he is gone ahead already. This is just awful, no other way to describe it. Due to the fact that he is in complete renal (kidney) failure his body is twitching violently, very very hard to watch. When I arrived here on Monday he was still alert, looked very different though, like he had a stroke or something is the only way to describe it, very sad. His eyes will not close nor will his mouth. He has a strong heart and I really believe that is what is keeping him alive. He is now in a coma state. This is not how I picture a coma. We have been here around the clock, mom is not leaving his side, yesterday he seemed to get very agitated when she left the room. I cannot count the amount of prayers that we have said, begging Jesus to please take him home. He has not been expected to live through the past two nights but he has. Only the Lord knows when his last breath will be taken. My body hurts from worry, my dad would not want me to worry, he did not like that word, but my nerves are just wound so tight right now. I pray that no one I know and love ever has to watch a loved one die this way. Please keep us covered in your prayers, many of dad's friends have called and stopped but we are keeping it very quiet for him now so as to not cause a seizure, it is hard to tell if he is having one or not. We sure appreciate all the love that we are feeling. Bless you all for being such faithful friends.

Just got a call that Dad's time is near, probably today or tomorrow, we are headed up north to be with my family and Dad. Please pray for his peace, he is having seizures and has been very ill for the past week. Thanks for your love. Leslie (I took this picture of him this past September at his request.)
