Please pray for my brother.

I've mentioned before that my big brother has been battling cancer.  Yesterday, he had his third surgery.  In his first surgery they removed a grapefruit sized tumor from under his arm.  The second surgery, they removed a baseball size tumor from his left lung, and in the process had to remove some of his lung.  They also found a tumor starting to grow around his heart and removed that too.  This time, they removed tumors from the right lung and had to remove nearly 50% of his right lung.  Surgery went well, but recovery is difficult for him and not going as well as hoped.  His lungs are retaining carbon dioxide and fluid.  The fluid (I'm told) wouldn't be such a concern if his kidneys were functioning properly.  But they are not.  Right now, the doctors are keeping him in a coma and have him paralyzed from the neck down so the ventilator can do the breathing for him and keep things going. The doctors have said that the next 24-48 hours are crucial.  Please take a minute or two to pray for him and his family.
