Needed Prayers

[Pixie]

Anyone that knows me knows I do not ask for much-and again what I am asking for is not for me but for people that are like family to me-about a month ago a friend of my sister's husband (Leo) had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and was operated on. It appeared that Leo was doing much better but they just found out that the tumor has grown back-they are unsure as to whether they are going to try to operate again or try aggressive radiation and chemotherapy. Right now he has no use of the right side of his body....he is only 50 years old-not all that much older than I am. But he is not the only one-on Saturday my roommate Grace called me and told me she had to go to Florida and would be gone the rest of the month. As long as I have known her her father has been sick but now he is on life support and they need to make a decision as to whether he remains on the machines or they take him off and just let him go when he is ready.....a decision like that is hard enough to make but to have to do it during the holidays just makes it that much harder. So I ask all of you that read this to please keep Leo and his family and Grace and her family in your prayers right now.

I just got off the phone with my sister. Leo has been in surgery since 11am this morning. The cancer is terminal-with the surgery they give him a year to 18 months-without it they estimated 6 months....*sighs*



update: my sister got hom from the hospital about 10 pm tonight-Leo looks much better than he did after his first surgery-but it is still terminal

[blue rhapsody]

[Pixie]

thanks-positive thoughts are pretty much all we can do*hugs*

To All My Friends and Family,
I have a friend who is fighting a very aggressive brain tumor. He has
gone under 2 brain surgerys and is about to start very aggressive Kemo
and radiation therapy. I am asking for prayers we need a lot of them.
We need him to beat the odds on fighting this cancer. Please rememeber
him and his family in all of your prayers. His name is Leo Gunderman
and prayers are what we need to beat this cancer.
I thank you all in advance for all the prayers.
Meg


this is from my sister-who normally would not send out requests like this-please send all your thoughts and prayers his way-he has a 14 year old son who is like a nephew to me-it is horrible to lose a parent at any age-but to lose them at the holidays is so much worse....please do what you can

Just have a few more moments online so thought Id try and get caught up with what Im missing.

I dont think I really need to say it, but I still wish your friends and family the best of luck. My prayers and strength are with everyone involved. It takes alot of prayers to help people get through a rough time, we all know this. So I shall continue to pray for everyone having a hard time, and will be certain to include their names in my whispered secrets to the Lord.

Send them my love, hun.

*snugs*

[Pixie]

thanks honey-I miss and love you*hugs tightly*

[Serena Serenity]

Sweetie, I'm not one to pray, but I shall send my strength to them and keep them in my thoughts. And add them into my wishes for the Solstice. *snugs*

I spoke to my sister last night-Leo started his chemo yesterday-he is having a month's worth of chemo in 5 days in the hopes that it will kill this thing....obviously he will not be home for Christmas-please pray for him-I cannot ask this enough*hugs everyone tightly* love you all

[Pixie]

even with the aggressive chemo and radiation treatments they do not expect Leo to last more than 6 months-at this point I suppose the most we can hope for is that he is not in pain all that time....and to make Christmas even better my sister had to put her dog down this morning-she got him right after her and my brother-in-law got married almost 13 years ago.....it was not a great Christmas.......*curls up and cries*

~holds onto her for a long while, not saying anything for a while.~

It was nice hearing your voice for once... you have a cute voice Hachimitsu.

[Pixie]

*curls up in his arms and closes her eyes*thank you Kitsune-so do you and we can talk whenever you want*nuzzles*

[Gibby]

~hugs pix~ I'm sorry to hear that....things will be ok though....i'm here any time you want to talk.

[Pixie]

thanks honey*hugs*
