Pastor Chiu from WHCC and Mrs. Joy Pan from Chinese Lutheran Church came and
myself, we went together to see Pastor Malone at Bayshore Medical Center. He is
i gona be staying in ICU till Monday. With all kinds of tubes hanging around his arms,
he still talks humorously, although a little bit weak. The doctor doesn't want him to
drive anymore. Please continue the prayer for him.
We three visited GENCO WISDOM right after the hospital visitation.
Thanks to the many people who concerned about Pastor Malone;s health and visited him.
HIs son Mark said that he has a deceased heart, and the doctor suggested either to tranplantant a new heart or install a mechanical heart, The latest saying is mostly to have a mechanicla heart. Pastor Malone is going to be transfered to St Luke's Hospital on Saturday morning. We will keep you updated again..
To the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen. (Ro. 16:27)
