Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117 #1 Posted May 20, 2017 My dad has been feeling bad lately. In Febuary he was diagnosed with pneumonia. got over that but still wasnt right get winded easy. It got really bad last weekend and we took him to ER on mothers day. which a blood clot was found in right lung and a abnormal spot. this abnormal spot can be anything. it could be scar tissue from a semi wreck in 87. or it could be cancer. they performed a scope today. got sample from it and some lympnodes around tracia which was enlarged.

953 nut 55,376 #4 Posted May 20, 2017 Dear Lord, Craftsmanmowerfreak’s Father has a medical condition that needs your divine intercession. Please guide the surgeon's hands to be steady and effective to do the task at hand, and not create any further damage We pray against any infection or complications. Calm the heart of his family. Give him your peace so his body can heal under the best conditions. In the name of Jesus, bless him to be healthier after this procedure than before. Lord allow this temporary trial to bring this family closer to you and each other. When he is coming out of surgery, let the side effects be minimal. Work a miracle in this whole situation and bless it from beginning to end. Thank you Lord for your blessing on this family. We praise you as we know we are in good hands- the very hands of God. In Jesus name, we thank you for each day. Amen. 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #16 Posted June 2, 2017 Completely understand. My dad has been fighting prostate issues for about 8 weeks. He goes for a biopsy Wed. and will schedule reduction surgery if all comes back ok. He's had a catheter the whole time and it's about to drive him nuts.

Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117 #20 Posted July 11, 2017 Dad says Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts. we got bad news today. July 5th we took dad into ER with symptoms like Alzheimers. They ran alot of tests. while he was out of room for a CT scan i heard on nurses radio critical report room 10. His liver isnt working correctly. Amonia level was so high it made him act like he was losing it. today after so many days in hospital running tests. we got the news dad cant do Chemo. his liver is too weak. right now they are controlling the liver levels with medicines but that will only work so long. so he will be going home and hospice will be called in. Thank you @Vinylguy for the decals. I accomplished part of what dad wanted atleast. he was really hoping to redo all the wheel horses in the yard. but most important one is done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lost my dad last year on fathers day. He had not known who I was for the past 2 years. Mom was able to keep him home to the end though. Thank God for hospice they were wonderful. There is nothing anyone can say at a time like this to ease your pain but just know that we all care. Many of us have gone through similar situations and understand totally what you are going through. Prayers tonight for you, your dad and your family. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
