I usually share some of the stuff that God is doing in my heart on this blogspot. Today, I'm sharing about something going on in my family.
Please pray for my Dad. His name is Ken Goins. He pastors a small church in Watts Bar, TN.
Here's what we know... On Thursday, January 10 Dad collapsed while at home. He was taken via ambulance to a local hospital where the family was told he has a brain tumor. For most of the day, he was unresponsive, didn't recognize members of the family and was in obvious pan. After making an initial assessment of a possible brain tumor, later Thursday afternoon, Dad was transported from the small hospital in Athens, TN to another hospital in Chattanooga.
By Friday, January 11 he was showing signs of improvement. He recognized members of the family. On Friday the doctors also ran a series of tests to attempt to discern whether or not he has a brain tumor.
Early this morning, Saturday, January 12, three doctors met with members of the family to explain that Dad does have a small tumor on the back of his brain (near the surface) and they have schedule an MRI and surgery for Tuesday, January 15 to remove the tumor. The docs believe the tumor is probably some form of cancer, but will make an assessment after they put the tumor under the microscope and in the lab.
As some of you are aware, Dad's kidneys completely failed about three months ago. This is the latest in a series of physical setbacks.
We really believe that God has promised in His Word to heal and we are trusting God for Dad's complete recovery. Thanks so much for your prayers.
I really appreciate all of you who have called, emailed and mostly PRAYED for my DAD. Thanks a million.
Today, Saturday, January 12 Dad is resting much better, is very coherent and seems to be improving.
I'll keep you posted about his progress.
Again, thank you.
Chris Goins
