I am amazed how they were able to manage this situation since Nelson's blood is (intentionally) very thin and unable to clot normally. That makes doing any procedure risky, but open surgery (which is what he had to have) in the setting of organ failure is really dicey.
He is now receiving blood transfusions (his blood count is quite low) and he remains on a ventilator through the night. But the ICU team is very pleased with his vital signs, and they are monitoring him closely.
We are grateful with you for the grace of God working through the hands and minds of the surgical and medical team.

I do not doubt that the modern Western church badly needs a lot of things, one of them being more confidence that God is working powerfully among us and wants us to do more than we have been willing to do in his service. John G. Stackhouse
