Update on my friend. He just contacted me after a dry spell. I am sure affects of medications have kept him groggy and sleepy. He continues to do battle. As a young Christian with no on the ground mentoring it's tough. He is in the hospital in Paris for now and has had 4 operations and is being told they will not be doing anything further medically. I will not say more openly. If anyone is in Paris and would be willing to go and share encouragement, that would be great. Contact me directly.
