The Reid family have been my close friends for the past 7 years. We have grown to love them all. Russell Reid (head of household) has been dealing with a heart condition caused by bacteria for a long time. A number of years ago, they installed a defibulator that would help "shock" his heart back into rhythm if needed. This device has given him many more enjoyable years of life.
However, The last year or so has not been so enjoyable. He has lost a LOT of weight and goes through times of great pain, inability to sleep or eat, and is now bed-ridden in Mercy hospital. On Sunday, they removed the defibulator and some other machines that were helping his heart pump his blood. He has made it through a couple of nights. From what I understand, God would have to heal him supernaturally for him to recover from this condition.
As most of you know, Tyler and Bryce (sons of Russell) have been great friends of mine for a long time, too. Tyler married Emily Connell (now Reid) in December. Bryce met a girl named Stephanie on E-harmony on December 25. Bryce went to meet her in Montana in January and Stephanie was scheduled to come to OKC in on February 10 but changed it to February 6 to come be with the Reid’s during this time.We went to the hospital to be with the Reid's last night and I plan to go again today. Please pray that God will touch Russell's life and heal him. He has been in pain so long. We know that God is in control and can accomplish whatever He wills. Please pray that God would heal him physically our take him home to be with Him. Pray for Bryce and Stephanie that God will give them wisdom as they seek Him. Pray for Tyler and Emily as they continue this new journey of life together. Pray for Mrs. Reid, Marla, the boys, and the rest of the family that God would be there comforter through this time. Feel free to leave a comment for the Reid’s and I will pass it on to them.
With Prayer,
Brandon and Rachael
