Prayer for Toby Casteel

Those of you who get our email update have heard us ask for prayer for our friend Toby, who is our supervisor here in Cuernavaca.  He’s had some problems with his heart over the last little while.

Toby went for a scheduled doctor’s appointment on the 27th of September in Mexico City.  The doctor was concerned about what he saw in the stress test, so Toby and his wife Marilyn decided to go to Houston, Texas for a second opinion.

On the afternoon of October 2nd they saw a cardiologist.  This doctor wasn’t pleased with what he saw either.

At this point, it looks like Toby will be having heart bypass surgery on Monday at 6am Houston time.

Toby and Marilyn will be keeping us updated on their blog, La Villa Castilla.  They’re optimistic at this point (read their post on Toby’s upcoming surgery), but obviously it’s a big deal and they would appreciate your prayers.

You can pray for wisdom for the doctors as they make decisions, for Toby’s health before, after and during the surgery, and peace and rest for Toby and Marilyn both.  Thanks!
