謝謝代禱，請繼續為人在香港的Kevin牧師代禱。2013-7-26來信

以下是Michael牧師2013-7-26發來、Kevin牧師病情的最新報導。

剛從Cathi（Kevin的妻子）那裡得知， Kevin今天下午（7月24日）剛完成了又一個CT掃描（電腦斷層掃描），兩個情況：

1. Kevin的肝膽管因為胰腺腫脹而阻塞。醫院準備在週五做一個內窺鏡檢查，安裝一個分流器，以撐開肝膽管。這意味著，Kevin最早要到週六傍晚才能旅行。

2. 因胰腺的液體而開始形成了一個囊腫。這是未來感染發展最有可能的地方，然而目前還沒有感染發生的跡象。

這一狀況的出現，使高效地返回加拿大顯得尤為重要。

Kevin和Cathi夫婦迄今仍在單純地信靠主在使用萬事來彰顯祂的榮耀，而沒有理由相信其它的 - 雖然我們也在禱告任何仇敵的計謀將被粉碎。

所以請代禱：

1、如果需要在Kevin體內安裝這個分流器的話，它將會被迅速安裝，而且沒有感染。

2、關於那個囊腫，禱告它將自行收縮，而不至於滲漏液體進入體內。

3、有關潛在的感染，禱告Kevin身體的任何地方將不會接受或者許可感染，次感染或者其它狀況發生。

4、我們需要在（加拿大安大略省）倫敦市的醫院釋放一個床位，以便一旦Kevin可以乘機，他們可以買機票並運送他回家。

5、關於買機票，（據我所知）保險公司已經批准讓Kevin和陪伴他的醫療人員升艙為商務/頭等艙，以便他可以斜倚並躺下休息。

6、灰色的地帶是Kevin目前的機票是美國聯合航空公司的，飛往芝加哥後再轉飛（加拿大安大略省）倫敦市。然而，在中途停留6-7小時之後，再從芝加哥乘坐一架狹小的噴氣式飛機前往倫敦市，相比而言，Cathi相信直接（從香港）飛往（加拿大）多倫多，再從多倫多轉乘救護車前往倫敦市（2小時），對於Kevin而言，遠為更好，因為他可以躺下來休息等等。

神很肯定在作工，祂的榮耀也要彰顯。感謝您成為基督身體的一部分並帶來對齊與健康，當我們與Cathi和Kevin夫婦一同站立！

愛和祝福，
Michael

附英文原文

Just spoke to Cathi:

Kevin had another CT scan this afternoon.  2 things:

1.  His liver bile duct is obstructed from the swelling of the pancreas. They are going to do an endoscopy on Friday to install a shunt to hold it open.  It means he won't be able to travel until Saturday early evening at the earliest.

2.  There is a cyst starting to form from the fluid on the pancreas. This is the most likely place for future infection to develop, however there is currently no sign of infection.  

That makes an efficient return all the more important.

Kevin and Cathi are both simply trusting that the Lord has used everything for His glory up until now, there is not reason to believe otherwise - although we are also praying that any schemes of the enemy would be shattered.

So please pray:

1. if the shunt is still needed that it will be put in quickly and without infection.
2. regarding the cyst, that it will begin to shrink on it's own, without leaking fluid back into the body.
3. regarding the potential of infection, that there will be no place within Kevin's body that will accept or allow infection, secondary or otherwise to form.
4. we need the hospital in London to release a bed so that as soon as Kevin is ready for transport they can buy the tickets and get him home.
5. regarding the buying of the tickets, the insurance company (as far as I understand) has approved the needed upgrade to business/first class for Kevin so that he can recline and lie down for rest and the accompaniment of medical personnel with him. 
6. The area that is still grey is that currently Kevin's ticket is with United Airlines, flying into Chicago and then onto to London. However, after a 6-7 hour layover followed by sitting for a couple hours on a cramped small jet from Chicago to London. Cathi believes flying directly to Toronto and having ambulance transfer from Toronto to London (2 hours) would be far better for Kevin as he could lie down and rest etc.

God is most certainly at work, His glory to manifest. Thank you for being a part of the Body who is being brought into alignment and health as we stand with Cathi and Kevin!

Love & Blessings,
Michael
