I don't think I know what to ask for other than prayer.
Let me start by saying my wife is an OR nurse for a local surgical practice. She is not supposed to get attached to patients, but tonight she asked me to pray for one of her patients. (very rare) He is a proud older gentleman who has been a janitor most of his career. Due to the fact that his daughter is in prison for a LOONG time and the "baby daddy" could give a s#!t less, he is raising an eleven year old boy and a younger girl. The boy makes straight A's, is in the Boy Scouts, and is a good all around kid. Pardon me, not much was said of the daughter.
Anyway, next week he is scheduled to have his foot amputated due to diabetes. He has a job. He will loose it. He has a home. He will loose it. Her fear is that the kids will go into social services and be corrupted by the system.
I am at a loss.
