Prayer request for my brother

My brother developed Crohn's disease just a few years back, it's a severe case, he's lost 50+ lbs and was put in the hospital last week. He improved and came home yesterday but became so sick they are doing surgery on him tomorrow.

By the way Crohn's is where your own body for some reason attacks your digestive system, usually the small intestine. Surgery to remove the diseased section is a last resort in treatment.

Chris is only 36 and his wife and two young daughters need him healthy again, he looks a lot different now than when this picture was taken Christmas 2011.

Sorry this is long-winded but please pray for him, or keep him in your thoughts. Thank you.
