    Guys and gals, I don't usually ask for prayers, but my family could use some now. Father-in-law diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer about a month ago. Removed his spleen, half his stomach and half his pancreas. Healed up from the surgery so we met with the oncologist yesterday to get the treatment options. They aren't good. Goes Friday to have his "port" put in for chemo treatments, then starts chemo and radiation next week, every day for 5 weeks. According to the doc, the outlook is pretty grim. Wife is very upset, obviously. I hate this. He is a good guy, Navy vet, served at Gitmo during the Missle Crisis. Marines down there were so short-handed, he was given a carbine and dug into a fox hole with a platoon of gyrenes. Said up until now it was the only time he has ever been "really afraid." Please remember him and his family, if you don't mind.

    We sure could use a few. My 4 year old daughter and wife have been up all night throwing up. Daughter has been so sick all she can do now is dry heave. Now my 10 month old son is starting. I feel pretty helpless as a dad and husband. Not much I can do besides take care of them. Painful to see the ones you love so sick.

    In October 2006, my FIL had surgery for pancreatic cancer. Removed most of his stomach, half his pancreas, and about half of his intestines. Went through months of chemo and radiation, and got to feeling much better. The last two weeks he has been really not feeling well, and has been losing weight. Went in for a full scan Monday. Went to the doc today and the cancer has returned in his liver. 2 big tumors. Inoperable. He will have surgery next Monday to re-insert a port so he can take more chemo. Will start radiation next Friday. Doc told him there wasn't much hope, but FIL wanted to do this. Wife and MIL are really torn up. Please remember him, and the rest of the family in your prayers. I couldn't ask for a better guy to be my in-law. He has treated me like the son he never had for the nearly 30 years we have known each other.

    I have been gone for awhile as my wife's breast cancer returned and I basically devoted myself to taking care of her full time . We thought she had a few months more to spend with us but she suddenly took a turn for the worst last weekend and is now in hospice and I'm afraid her end is near.
    If you would please say a prayer for Rebecca that she may pass in peace without pain.

    My wife has always said I have all the grace and good moves of a bull in a china shop.I got up early this morning to go help my younger brother move into his new house .In a hurry and not paying attention I tripped and fell going out of the garage. According to the emergency room doc and the x-rays I have a spiral fracture of the fibula where it joins the ankle with multiple small fragments floating around .Best guess is that it will require surgery and placement of a steel plate to tie it all back together but I will not know until a visit to the orthopedic doc next week so....... prayers please thanks guys

    My sister was put in ICU last night with a extreme asthma attack. Oxygen levels are low and she is having trouble breathing. It is her own fault she has smoked for years even with asthma but she is a single mom and need to take care of her son.

    Yep, you guessed it! Got here in time for the worst blizzard in 12 years and now the worst flood in a century. All I ask is for the dyke's (earthen and not Rosie type) and berms to hold. If that happens we will be OK, if not I may call for help bugging out.

    Thanks to all in advance,
    Lance

    Hello all,
    I want to ask that you please remember our 8-year-old son Brandon in your prayers. He hurt his knee roller skating at school a couple weeks ago. He limped around for a couple weeks and said it was getting better. Doc said it was more than likely just a sprain. Then he started playing on the school basketball team. After 4 + years in a wheelchair, he can't run too well to start with, but he was trying and the coach was being super good to him. Anyway, to make a long story short, Friday night at practice he could barely walk and he couldn't straighten his knee out. Took him to the ER Saturday and x-rays didn't show any breaks, but doc thought he needed an MRI just to be sure. Had it done this morning and the report came back this evening. He has a torn lateral meniscus. Basically torn cartilage. We are still waiting for an appt. with the ortho doc. His pediatrician said surgery was about the only option to fix it. So....looks like one more surgery for him. He is out of school the next three days and was looking forward to going squirrel hunting in the morning. That is out, and boy, is he upset!
    Thanks to all of you!


    Taxation WITH representation isn't so hot, either!
