pray for my daddy
 
Hey guys,

I certainly dont want to offend any of you who dont pray...but my father is very sick with a form of lymphoma (cancer) and I found out on Monday that has spread to his bones. He's in a hospital in Miami now, and he's doped up on pain medication which is supposedly not a good thing. He's been in/out of the hospital the past 6 weeks or so, and he's not been truthful with us about what's going on. He's a stubborn SOB and I know he doesnt want us to worry about him...but now that it's gotten worse, we're all scrambling to get him taken care of. I will be driving down to Miami on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning to go stay with him a couple of days. Please remember him in your prayers. My dad and I aren't very close, but I can't imagine him not being there.

I totally believe in prayer, it does work! So MANY prayers are coming your way and his way.
I am so sorry.

I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad....

JazmenFlowers 09-28-2005 09:20 AM
I am so very sorry to hear this news. I have dealt with family members with cancer all too often and I know how hard it is. Please take care of yourself and I wish you and your family all the best.

GateandGarden 09-28-2005 09:20 AM
I'm so sorry Brandon. You and your family are in my thoughts. I know exactly what you mean about people being stubborn and private because they don't want anyone, including relatives, worrying about them. Of course they will anyway. I'm hoping for the best.

gldstwmn 09-28-2005 10:10 AM
I'm sorry to hear that. My best wishes for the return of his good health.

Brandon - my blessings to you, your father, and your family.

estranged4life 09-28-2005 11:32 AM
Sorry to hear...
 
my thoughts are with you (Deb suffered from Hodgkin's Lymphoma and came through in flyin' colors) since I know how stressful cancer can be to a family.

Btw, Which type of lymphoma is he suffering from?

skcin 09-28-2005 11:49 AM
So sorry. Hope he's OK.

That's terrible, Brandon. I'll definitely keep your dad in my thoughts and prayers.

I have no problem saying a prayer for your dad. :angel: Good luck to him!

It's spread into his bones, from what my dad's wife told me on the phone a few days ago. It had caused his spleen to grow to the size of a football, which they removed. It is now causing problems with his kidneys and they think it has spread to the bones, which would mean a marrow transplant I believe.

I am leaving Friday afternoon to go stay with him thru Monday. Thank you guys for all your kind words... As much as we are all different, I know we all care one for the other, so I really appreciate it.

No problem. Thank goodness for mercy and compassion!

Stay safe and I will also let members of my church know...so they will pray for your family as well.

I will pray for you and your families' strength, and your dad's health. I'm sorry I don't have any words of encouragement. :(

Be safe on your trip. I've made the drive from Miami to Orlando and back many times. It's a long boring 5 hours!

Brandon, I am praying for your family and your dad especially, but I wonder, what is that latest? Have you heard anything?

mylittledemon 09-30-2005 12:09 PM
It's Friday afternoon and he had his first treatment at 10am. They are going to wait to see how the lymphoma cells in his bones react to the treatment and then give him a "clearer" answer. I am leaving tonight when my sister arrives from Little Rock and we are going together to visit him.

Thank you guys for your prayers and support. Dad is doing well. I am in Miami now, at his apartment taking a break from the hospital sit-ins. My dad normally sits at about 180lbs and he's down to 150 right now. He looks very sickly, and is awake for maybe 30 minutes every 2 hrs. He has his humor still...he tried to get me to run out and sneak in a cheeseburger for him. They are flushing his kidneys constantly so he's on the "liquid diet." He made me cry because I was sitting by his bed and he woke up and looked over at me and said, "You are a handsome boy. You dont look like me, but you're handsome." My dad NEVER says stuff like that. I had to go outside and cry a bit. Anyway...we will find out Monday from his blood work whether or not he is reacting to the treatments. Love you guys.

I'm glad to hear he is doing well, what a nice thing for him to say to you. I'm all misty. Y'all remain in my thoughts and prayers.
