My Dad

[GraftMeIn]

My Dad is now in the hospital, and he is in alot of pain. They had to call an ambulance for him because he was in so much pain that he couldn't sit up. They gave him a bunch of morphine but even then he was still in pain, He was transfered from the local hospital down to the VA last night, where they took him off the morphine and gave him something else. My brother thinks they did this because the pain might be in his bones.

I don't expect he will be around for much longer, so just pray for him to be comforted. And that whatever time he has left wont be spent in much pain. He has five masses in his upper body, two in his lungs. his lower body hasn't even been checked. and he doesn't want any exploratory procedures done. The doctor has already determined that he wouldn't be able to survive chemo therapy.

I'll try and keep everyone updated on what's happening, but I wont be spending much time online, or doing much posting here for awhile. But I will check in, when I can.

Thanks for all the prayers you have all said so far, and please continue to pray that he'll be comforted, and that they'll be able to bring the pain he's in under control.

I am so sorry for your dad, I will pray that he has no pain, I pray also for your strenght, God Bless your family. Sometimes I just don't know what to say, and this is one of those times. Trust in the Lord.

Dear Lord, please show your true character to Graftmein's family--your lovingkindness. Give them all whatever is needed to go through this time with peace, grace and comfort in knowing that You are God and that You are good. Make this not a time of breaking and pain, but a time of building faith and family bonds. Make it a time when they can feel your presence, feel your actual embrace every moment. Amen.

Dear Father, I pray for GraftMeIn's dad, that your mercy would be upon him, that your love for him would fill every cell of his body and his spirit. Dear Father, in the precious name of Jesus, we pray for mercy Father, take away the pain Father, hold GraftMeIn's dad in your arms and give him a divine comfort that only you can give. Father, I pray for GraftMeIn, fill her with your strength, give her a peace in the middle of her storm. In Jesus Holy Name, Amen.

I am still praying GraftMeIn! I am so sorry for your dad's pain. If I could, I would take it all away. But what I can do is ask God to comfort him and you and the rest of your family. Please know that he is frequently in my thoughts and prayers. My dad also had cancer, and even though my prayer of healing for him was answered with the eternal healing only God can give, I believe all the prayers offered up for him kept his spirits up and helped him to carry on even when he was in so much pain.

I also pray for you so that you will have the strength and courage to face the days ahead and to be a comfort to your dad. My thoughts are with you, my friend!

i'm praying for your family, May the Lord be your comforter.

 

[GraftMeIn]

Thanks for the prayers everyone. They do help.

No new news other than, they did some bone scans on my Dad yesterday, they're also trying to decided what the best way to perform the biopsy would be. And are experimenting with different things to see if they can find something that will help with the pain.

At this point i'm not realy sure if I should pray for God to take away his pain, or to just take him home where there is no more pain. So I'll just pray for Gods will to be done, and trust in him. since he knows what is best.

Thanks again for all the prayers, I'll lkeep you updated as best I can.

Another update
They did the biopsy today, and have since transfered my Dad into intensive care, one of his lungs partially collapsed after the biopsy. Please keep praying for God to comfort him.

 

[Auntie]

Praying GraftMeIn.

 

[GraftMeIn]

Thanks for the prayers everyone,
They put a tube in my Dads chest today to drain some of the fluid from around his lungs, and it seems to have helped with the pain some.

Thanks once again for all the prayers, and please keep praying for God to comfort my Dad.

On a side note...
There's much healing going on through the rest of the family in all of this, but there's still more needed.

 

[wvmtnkid]

Thanks for the update GraftMeIn! Still praying for you and your family!

 

[Sharky]

I'll be praying hard for you graft! This is a very hard time and i'm sure it's even harder for your dad. God is with you all the way.

 

[GraftMeIn]

Thanks again for all the prayers.
Here's the latest update. He has stage 4 cancer in his back, lungs, and bones. The Doctors have told us he has 3 months to a year. They've found a few things that help the pain. So just keep praying that they'll be able to keep his pain under control.

Job 1:21 ->

"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."

 

[Auntie]

So sorry to hear that, GraftMeIn. I went thru that with my mom, and it is very difficult, for our loved one and all of the family members.

Praying for you and your dad.
