Asking for prayers

Posting in here to get more prayers, and I know it'll move, but figured it would get more attention in here for a day. Some people on here know the story of my wife, and how bad things have been off and on for nearing two years now. Quick summary, she lost her bladder close to 4 years ago, and everything was okay for a while. She started getting kidney infections really bad in about November of 2020. She got septic several times, and we almost lost her once during a bout with it last year. We've been to many Drs, and she's staying out of the hospital now, because she's been doing IV treatment for about a year off and on, and constantly for the last 3 months or so. There's a Dr at the Cleveland clinic in Weston Florida who thinks she can help, and knows what will help, but it requires a major surgery. She believes that they pretty much messed everything up when they did the surgery removing her bladder, and there's no guarantee, but she feels like she can fix it. The way the original Dr did it, things don't drain the way they should, and they're going to pretty much redo the surgery. 8 hours at least of surgery, and she'll be in the hospital for at least 10 days. Surgery is Thursday, but we leave first thing in morning. We were going to drive straight down Monday, but going to break the trip down into two days to not be hard on her. She's gotta be there Tuesday morning for a covid test, and pre-op stuff. I know sometimes we all bump heads, but one thing I love about Volnation, I've seen many times we put that aside, and help each other, even if it's just praying. I know praying works, it was a miracle what happened with her last year. This is kinda our last hope at getting her help, so she needs it. With her health and the fight her body's been through with all the infection, she needs it. My kids need it, they're worried about their mom. I need it, she's my everything. So if you get a second between now and Thursday, and it crosses your mind, please whisper a prayer for her. Her name is Tiffany (I like to know who I'm praying for), and I know she'd appreciate it.

Father God you are the Great Physician, and so I ask for healing, strength and comfort for Tiffany, Joe and their children. Help them to praise you, even in this storm. Remind them that while we don’t know what the future holds, we know who holds Tiffany's future. Draw this family close to you Lord and I ask, in the name of Jesus, that you would heal Tiffany. Amen.

I'll try to quickly tell about the weekend she almost died last year. Infection had gotten so bad it covered one of her kidneys, Dr said you couldn't see it on the MRI because of infection. They tried to do a procedure on Friday, and she coded, but the response team got her. He told us that he'd wait till Monday to try to scrape the infection away, because if he didn't do something the sepsis was going to kill her. I spent all weekend a mess, especially after what happened that Friday. I even sit my kids down Sunday morning, and told them to live on their mom when we got there, because she probably wasn't going to make it through, that was the hardest thing I've ever done. Monday morning I was back in pre-op with her, laying over her crying, begging God to take me instead of her. They had done an MRI to use as a guide to get to the infection. Dr walked in and said "we're going to send her back to her room, and I was asking why, because he'd told us he had to get it. He said, "it's gone ", I asked what he meant, and he said that wad of infection covering her kidney wasn't there anymore! I know people will dismiss that, but it'll never change my mind that someone got hold of God in prayer, and it changed everything.

Another miracle is coming up! Lifted up prayers that this surgery will result in the absolute best outcome and that God will watch over you, your wife and your girls. VN has your back and I know God does.
