I've debated posting this, because I don't want to refer anything to myself, but, for the sake of edification and for the glory of God: all things are possible, even healing that looks to be inconceivable. Jesus raised souls from the dead. And, God in His mercy, saved me when I was in the hospital for nearly four months, nearly dead several times over. By all accounts, I should have died, not only from the illness, but from all that was done to me by 'medicine.' The prayers of many people and the miraculous intercession of the saints (truly) saved me from death and I have no real issues to this day. I don't understand why. Anyway, perhaps it is the will of God to allow His Excellency to suffer this type of martyrdom and to teach us perseverance in prayer. There is no need to rush either his death or his recovery.... we just need to keep praying til one or the other is accomplished.
