Requesting prayers
« on: January 19, 2009, 01:18:06 PM »
My dad, who is a Vietnam War Disabled Vet, has become very ill. He was a victim of agent orange in Vietnam and it's slowly catching up to him. This may be his last year. He has lost the ability to urinate on his own, prostrate swollen to the size of a grapefruit. He has been bedridden 95% in the past 2 months. Because he has no appetite, he has lost the majority of his body mass. They want to shave his prostrate down, but he is too weak for surgery. All he has left is prayers.   :salute
