Prayer for Neil Merritt Needed

[Colleen OHara]

Please keep Neil Merritt (Dianne and Wendell's son) and his family in your prayers.  He has been in the hospital for 18 days with complications and infections due to a ruptured appendix.  In the last 24 hours he developed a fever, his white blood count became elevated and he had loss of movement and severe pain in his arms.  A CAT scan was ordered to determine the cause.  The CAT uncovered a pulmonary embolism in Neil's lungs.  He is on blood thinners to help with the blood clots.  An MRI has been scheduled for tomorrow to determine if there is something else going on to cause the loss of movement and pain in his arms.  Please pray that the doctors can determine what is happening and treat him.  Cover Neil, Brandy, their kids, Dianne and Wendell in prayers as they navigate all of this.
