MCILWAIN PRAYER CHAIN

December 20, 2011 Dr. Wang (neurosurgeon) and Dr. Myers (neurologist) visited Neal today. His EEG showed some epilepsy type changes. Dr. Myers specialty is epilepsy so she’s familiar with the newer meds. Neal will stay a couple extra days at Sacred Heart Hospital so the doctors can monitor his medications. He’s getting wonderful treatment here. The nurses are just a call button away. He has a quiet room at the end of the hall with a little sitting area before you enter the room. We knew the surgery involved several risks – one of which is seizures. We’re asking for no visitors now as the doctors try to regulate his medications. We love our McIlwain Church family and are so glad that God led us to a Church who has embraced us and loved us.

This is Neal’s favorite poem, by John Oxenham
“Whom I Do Believe”
“ Not what, but Whom I do believe
That in my darkest hour of need
Hath comfort that no mortal creed
To mortal man may give.
Not what, but Whom!
For Christ is more than all the creeds
That His full life of gentle deeds
Shall all the creeds outlive.
Not what I do believe, but Whom!
Who walks beside me in the gloom?
Who shares my burden wearisome?
Who all the dim way doth illume
And bid me look beyond the tomb,
The larger life to Live?
Not what I do believe, but Whom!
Not what, but Whom!”

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
