Prayers needed for Jack and Jean

This morning I learned some new, but disturbing terms about Jack Zerkel's health. He first has continuing back pain due to stenosis. Then recently the doctor's have diagnosed him with C. Diff. C. Diff. (Clostridium difficile) is a condition usually brought on in patients with another ailment for which they have taken antibiotics. The antibiotics kill not only the bad bacteria but also the good. So in this condition the bad bacteria line the intestines causing abdominal pain, diarrhea and weakness. Untreated the condition can be fatal. Jack has multiple ailments that all cause him discomfort. He is very weak now and needs serious interventions so they are inserting a G-tube today to provide necessary nutrition. Jack is in room 2505 at Community East. Jean has been caring for him at home for some time also and is worn out too. Please pray for them and send them cards of encouragement
