Jacob Prasch Asia, Australia, and New Zealand Itinerary Cancelled
JUNE 22ND, 2009
Jacob Prasch has been released from hospital in Cape Town, South Africa after two days to where he was rushed. He must return for further tests and be medevaced back to the UK for further treatment by a British cardiologist once his arterial fibrillation is stabilized and he is deemed able to fly.
Fortunately the x rays and scans indicate phlebitis does not contain a thrombosis and there is no permanent heart damage, but the heart s marginally enlarged and the fibrillation, while now under control, continues.
His condition was uncontrolled hypertension with arterial fibrillation. A stroke was narrowly averted. Had h flow to Bangkok via Nairobi as scheduled his physicians doubt he would escaped a likely fatal stoke mid air on a long intercontinental flight.
Fortunately noticing the symptoms of phlebitis in his ankles he consulted with his friend Dr. Hilda Podlas who rushed him to hospital immediately. The condition appears to have been precipitated from the cumulative effect of apnea and renal side effects of medication he is required to take for his neck injury. The cardiologists report that contributing factors are matters of life style, especially a grueling work-travel schedule. He has been ordered to cancel all long air flights and speaking engagements for at least one month when his condition will be reassessed. Moriel has thus been compelled to cancel all Jacob Prasch speaking engagements until the end of July.
On Jacob’s behalf we profoundly apologize to those in Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand expecting to attend Jacob’s meetings. On behalf of Jacob also we express our sincere gratitude for your prayers at this time when Danny Isom was also hospitalized with kidney failure.
The cardiologist used the term “Divine Intervention”. Both specialists agreed that has Jacob gone to Asia as scheduled he would have suffered a very serious stroke and quite likely would not have survived. We see this as God’s intervention that Jacob noticed the discoloration in his ankles and that Dr. Podlas (a Jewish neuro radiologist who came to faith through Jacob’s ministry) happened to attend the church meeting where Jacob was speaking at the Reformed Evangelical Church in Cape Town.
Again, we sincerely regret the forced necessity of the cancelled events and praise The Lord for His Providence and the prayers and good wishes of His people.
