Prayers request

[DavidB80911]

John - My prayers are coming to night when I hit my knees before bed. A prayer for healing for your Dad and a prayer for you for strength.

A colapsed lung is no fun, I got one from a motorcycle accident. 1 Toyota over 1 Triumph goes 1 time with a lot of brusies.

Peace and Strength!
Dave

Fr. Bill,
I'd rather not put Dad's name out there for everyone to read. He's a very private person to begin with (he'd be very upset with me for sharing as much as I have) but also works in law enforcement, as does my brother. That's also one reason I changed back from my real name to a more anonymous forum ID. (Another being that I'm a rather private person as well, even though I share quite a bit in some of my posts.)

Many thanks to everyone for your support. I'm sure it's helping. Mom left me a message while I was at work tonight. Dad appears to have stabilized. His right lung is no longer deflating and his O₂ sats are at 94 out of 95. We'll have to wait until Wednesday to find out the results of the biopsy. They're hoping that maybe tomorrow they can remove the chest tube.

That is good news - I hope and pray the improvement continues.

No problem John; in my tradition we normally use only the first name, but "John's Dad" works fine too. I've been praying for him that way in the meanwhile.

Quick update. My brother called a little while ago. Dr. was in this morning. Chest tube is out. The spots on his rt lung are hot spots - active lung cancer. Won't know which type until tomorrow or Thurs. Current plan is chemo/rad. May have gotten all of the nodule (which was not active) on his left during bronch. Won't know for sure about that for a while.

Continued prayers/positive thoughts/smoke are greatly apprciated.
