There is a new procedure (we are told) that may help him with his heart condition. we ask for your prayers for him and his wife Sharon, and daughter Shaina. The medical people will do what they can. We must do what we do best, so please do what you do best. There is another issue... his family is in dire straights financially. The hospital bills are only one problem he has. His personal bills are still there as well. If his podiatry practice is not maintained (office help and other services) he will lose this as well. Since this is his practice and his primary income, please send what you can. You may be in financial difficulties (as many are), but please send something. This is very important. If you cannot send any financial support now or later, please do the one above. Pray for Roger and his family. May God give us the wisdom and the grace to accept healing and to give it as well. This is a time for healinG. Derrel and Doris Sims ---------------------------------------------------------- Dear Friends, I talked with Sharon Leir this morning and she told me that Roger was re-admitted to the hospital last night. Now I have received the following from Whitley Strieber. We must really do some serious praying for Roger. Thank you for redoubling your prayers. Please pass this on to as many as possible. I did just get an update from Mike Portanova, who said that Roger was suffering angina pains last night and re-entered the hospital. But he said he is doing fine and that the doctors feel he will recover. There are several arteries that have problems, and can't be operated on at this time. But other therapies can be used, along with diet and exercise, and medication. This is good news, but we still need a lot more prayer!! Thank you, Don Robertson Ventura/SB MUFON: ================================================================ Dear Don, and friends, Roger will, must recover. Don, our prayers are with him, as they were with you and your wife in your times of distress. I know Sharon and Shaina are with him every moment, as are all there in the area. This is healing too. I have seen Roger in sickness, in T.O., in Japan, and other places on our trips together. Where his friends were near him, he always recovered. It is what he does. In Japan his illness was so severe the Japanese were so worried I think they thought he might expire. I was a day late in getting to Japan. By the time I got there the Japanese were waiting for me at the train station. The all looked like they were about to go to a funeral. When I asked what the problem was, they mentioned that "Dr. Leir is very sick". When I got to the Hotel, I came in to see him immediately. After checking in on Roger, I went to put my bags in my room. While doing this, Roger called me. He was in great agony. He asked me to "use my magic of hypnotic anesthesia on him". I had never seen him in such pain. This pain was due to chronic "gut condition" (as Rog refers to it). The benefits seemed to be effective and he was in deep trance in a few moments. By morning he was up and jumping around (literally) like a boy. The Japanese were very excited and relieved. Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr. was in some sickness as well that morning. Later Dr. Haines had some difficulty as well. That may have been the difference in foods of one nation from another? Roger's conditon has been with him for a while. If Rog can recover from that, then he will recover from this, we all pray to that effect. He should be up and at them soon. On our travels, I would often carry most of our bags. This was to conserve his strength. Roger has had a heart condition for some time. All his friends know this. He must be encouraged (by all those who are with him when he eats and is at work), to follow the advice of the doctors at this time. Most of us do not do that (as we should) in these situations. This advice is for his continued recovery and best of health for the rest of his life. Please insist that Roger stay on proper diet, and exercise in a way that is consistent with the best medical advice he is being given. Roger is sometimes hardheaded. Many people in the medical profession are. They have to be. Rog often mentions that he is not afraid of death. That I admire. Following his own Dr.'s advice is what I admire more. Please insist on Roger to follow the heart specialists advice. Those of us who have been around him most know this is essential for him to do so, especially now. Don I totally agree with you. Doubling up on our prayers is the best thing we can all do. Thank you for the updates and your continued word on Roger's condition. Derrel/Doris Sims
