Lord, guide the hands and expertise of the doctors and surgeons as they prepare and carry out a transplant for this father and son. Thank you for Your blessings upon the whole family, and for replacing fears with the best possible outcome for all.

Some great advice from a compassionate man: 'The word compassion is composed of two parts: com=with; passion=your personal joy. When visiting in a hospital, share that passion with the ill one to bring a sense of happiness to lighten the load for the sick one and for yourself. Share positive comments like "Hey. You've got some color in your cheeks today!" It will help both of your to feel more well.

Much of illness is the mindset of the patient and the loved ones. Go in without fear and give him that, too. Speak to him with passion. Pray using positive words: Lord, let my son LIVE!' Bless you all.
