Request prayers please - Page 2

I don't feel real comfortable doing this but I DO feel prayers help. I respect a lot of you on here and value your opinions and knowledge. Today I went to a Hepatologist specialist and was told without a liver transplant I have 3-5 years to live. I was diagnosed with hepatitis c 5 years ago and life has been a real struggle ever since. I have ascities ( swelling and build up of fluid in the stomach) actually my whole body swole lol

I gained 20 lbs in 2 days then thank God lost 15 of it through water pills.. Anyways I am raising a 10 year old son and a 12 year old daughter and I am so scared what will happen to them when im gone. So at least pray for them if not me I would sure appreciate it. Thank you in advance, I know many of you have good hearts and that is cool.

Max,

A very close friend of mine has a 1 year old daughter who had liver problems in the very recent past. She had cysts on her liver that kept filling up with fluid & wouldn't go away. They operated on her a few months ago & took almost 70% of her liver. She is doing well now. I believe the doctors told my friend that his daughter's liver should regenerate itself to approx. 80-85% of it's original size by the time she would graduate high school. I know that your circumstances are not the same, but I thought you might want to hear a positive outcome about a similar problem.

May God send you an angel to guide & protect you through this period of your life. You will be in my thoughts & I will pray for you & your families' health and well-being!

Good luck, Dude.

I'm sure you'll be fine

Best wishes and the most sincere of wishes for a speedy recovery/miracle. Honestly, hang in there...man. I know it can't be easy.

Keep your head in the game.

MadMax,

As someone living with failed kidneys my heart goes out to you and your family. I send all my best thoughts and I will even offer up a prayer (as a Deist I hope it still helps). I also send your family love and sympathy as I think I have some idea what you and they are going through. Please, dear creator let this fine young dad find a transplant donor.

ClevelandBronco · 03-12-2008, 11:44 PM

Prayers via PM, sir.

Frazod · 03-12-2008, 11:55 PM

I wish you the best, Max. Hope you get through this crap OK.

**Bugeater** · 03-12-2008, 11:59 PM

Wow, that is scary, I can't even imagine how you must be feeling right now. I wish the best for you and your children.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-13-2008, 12:45 AM

Jesus dude. I had no idea it was that bad. I'm gonna send you a PM, and I'll call you tomorrow. Could a mod sticky this thread please?

greg63 · 03-13-2008, 01:35 AM

You and yours are in my prayers my friend.

God Bless!

PhillyChiefFan · 03-13-2008, 06:09 AM

I am very very sorry to hear about this. I, too, believe in the power of prayer and positive thoughts. Keep fighting, and I will pray that the 3-5 years turns into many many more to come. Stay strong.

plbrdude · 03-13-2008, 06:15 AM

will keep you and your family in prayer. in Jesus name

**Lzen** · 03-13-2008, 09:16 AM

Will do that. Prayers for you and your family.

ROYC75 · 03-13-2008, 10:21 AM

Wow, so sad to hear this. Keep the faith, God has a way to help those who wish to help themselves.

Prayers and good thoughts are / will be sent.

El Jefe · 03-13-2008, 10:48 AM

Prayers sent man. As many have already stated, that sucks and not many can fully understand what your going through. Life is a fragile thing, no one is guranteed tomorrow. Try not to let your mind play games with you and dont let the pessimism take over, when there is a will there is a way. You will come out of this thing just great.

R&GHomer · 03-13-2008, 10:50 AM

Done. Best of luck to you and your family. Hang in there, I'm sure it will all work out for the best.
