I need prayers....Update #3

Original post by FullersBride

I don't have any information yet and can't get into it but I just received a really bad phone call and really need prayers please.....


Update:UPDATE: A good family friend of ours who we visit in Key Weste very year collapsed and started seizing and was brought to the hospital, they found a large tumor in his brain and he is undergoing surgery right now. We are completely devastated, his wife has advanced staged of MS and can't take care of herself. They are also in Indiana and we can't go out there right at this moment for a few reasons.

15 minutes after I got this call my MIL called, she hasn't been feeling well since our wedding last summer and has been undergoing a lot of tesitng. Apparently they found a few lumps today and she is going in today for a biopsy.

Everything is falling apart......... I can't belienve what is happening. I'm being torn in two directions right now.

Thank you all for the prayers....... I would appreciate any more you can give right now.....


Update 2: Well Good news and bad news. My MIL's biopsy went well, although we won't know the results for 3-5 days. The Drs. seem hopeful, but won't say much about what they think it is.

As for our family friend 'Bob'. He had surgery last night and they removed a few tumors. Apparently there were more tumors in other parts of his brain that were inoperable. Unfortunately during the surgery he suffered froma stroke on top of everything. They were expecting him to wake up last night and he didn't. This morning they said that it looks like his kidneys are shutting down. They are going to run more tests, but unless they come back dramatically different they will be taking him off the ventilator tonight and moving him to a hospice unit in the hospital

We are absolutely devastated. THis si a man that his been through so much. He has poli as a child and rheumatic fever twice. He was taking care of his wife who was diagnosed with rapid onset MS a few years ago and he refused to put her in a home. They were both only children and were unable to have children of tehir own so they are basically alone. I'm devastated that his wife will now have to go into a home. She is staying with Bob's boss and his wiffe and she fell yesterday and broke her arm and now she is going to have to have surgery next week. i'm terrified that she won't make it throught hte surgery with her condition and a broken heart.

Thank you all for your prayers, At this point that is all we can do is pray and wait

Update3: Bob was taken off of the venitlator last night and died early this morning....................Thank you all for your prayers. This was soo sudden and unexpected. He hadn't been showing any symptoms and was gone so fast....at least he didn't suffer. If you could keep his wife in your prayers she goes for surgery on her arm this week and is devastated....
