Please keep my sister and her family in your prayers if you are so inclined [RIP]
 

Just found out today that my sister's cancer has returned and has spread throughout her body. I just pray that God grant the doctors wisdom to help ensure that she continues to have a life of quality and as free from pain as possible. I know some of you believe in the power of prayer like I do, so I appreciate your consideration. For those who are inclined to lift her up in prayer, her name is Carol.

Thank you and God bless.

Fat E

Will do, brother.

Of course.
Prayers for all involved.
Peace.

Carol,

Random guy on a football just had a silent prayer.

I've struggled in the past with prayer and getting a handle on things.....


I'm sitting in my recliner thinking you andt skinny E are truly in my prayers.

Just talked to my Dad...he's praying as well.

I would say you "got this" but I overuse it.

Today is not the ending....it's only the beginning

I wanted to thank everyone so much for your prayers and heartfelt wishes. I hope to be able to provide an update later today. I know how much your prayers mean to my sister, even if she doesn't know you, and to the rest of my family. God bless all of you.

Fat E

Praying for any good news today and beyond

A quick update on my sister. She has been in the hospital since this weekend, but it looks like they will be releasing her to go home this evening for palliative care. Her cancer isn't curable/treatable, but with certain interventions, there is some small hope that her life can be extended with a modicum of quality. I haven't had a chance to go up to see her since I've had a cold, but my other sisters say that, given the circumstances, she is in good spirits if not solemn as she prepares for the seemingly inevitable. I take great comfort knowing that she isn't living in fear. Even in her time of dire need, her first concern is for the welfare of others. If you've ever met her, you would know that is so "Carol." She was a special education teacher the latter part of her career, and she would help her students get scholarships so that they could continue their education after graduating. She is the type of person who would make donations to the local jail so that people transitioning back in the community would look decent and have some chance at employment and housing. Her life has been a living embodiment of Matt. 25:35-40...

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Thank you all for your prayers, they are greatly appreciated. We are still exploring all options.

Fat E

God bless you and your family, Carol.

Carol sounds like an amazing person. Like the person many of us want to be but fall woefully short in most cases. Will say another prayer for her and your family as soon as I finish this post.

On a weirdly somewhat-related note - I'm reading the Bible from cover-to-cover for the first time in my life and I literally read Matthew 24-28 for the first time ever less than 24 hours ago. Keeps happening over and over. I'll read chapters in a book for the first time in my life and "out of the blue" someone will make reference to the exact book/chapter I read almost immediately thereafter. God does indeed work in mysterious ways.

Prayers again to your sister, you and the family.

Sounds like a wonderful person.

Prayer sent hoping she finds peace knowing she is just taking another step. One everyone takes.

Couldn't say it better. Peace to you and your family.

This… Prayers to you and your family..

Amen....I've prayed for her and you as well.

I imagine an angel bringing God prayers for the day and sneaking a peak on the way up the stairs and they're like "....and Lord, also help HayWire, Zoner, TiddiesBjiggln, SturWurzNerd, TwerkGurl, and TDHolmes...."

"The **** is this all about? This prick doesn't even know these people's names and he's....whatever...."

FAT E - for sure bud, prayers to her, you and all of your family bud. Hang in there!

Still praying. Stay strong. And F cancer!

God bless you and your family! Faith will carry you through!

Praying for you and your family.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18. "Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

There's a song by Shane and Shane that was recommended to me when my father was suffering from cancer:

Though You Slay Me – Shane & Shane featuring John Piper

Thank you for your prayers. Got a small dose of good news this morning. My sister went in to see the doctor today and the blood work came back "steady" so she didn't need another blood transfusion today as expected. We will take these small victories as they come.

Prayer works.

Thank you.

Fat E

That is great news. Still praying...

That's good to hear. Will be praying for your sister and the family...

Thanks for the update. Please keep them coming. Her, Haywire, and Nzoner are part of the daily prayer routine at this point.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." -Galatians 6:9

It sounds like she lives this Scripture out, and she will reap a harvest...whether now or later. I'm still praying for her.

You got it, FE.

Prayers for Carol.

In
Always praying
sec

Prayers. My mom just told me they found a lump in her lungs.. waiting to get biopsy. I don't wish cancer on anyone.

I'm so sorry to hear that; I would hope that everyone who is praying for my sister, Nzoner, and HayWire include your mother in their prayers as well.

Ugh.. Sorry to hear it. Prays said...

Sending positive thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to read this news I lost my sis to brain cancer last year then my mom 4 months later with dementia.

Prayers out and up for your sister.

Mods, if you would like, you can unsticky this post. I wanted to thank everyone for their prayers. They mean a lot to me and my family. I wish I had some better news to share, but I went up to the hospital last night to see my sister, let her know that she is loved, and to say goodbye. I am happy that right now, she is not in any pain, but we are waiting on the inevitable currently and her passing is imminent. Again, thank you everyone for your prayers, kind thoughts and words. I am truly sorry for anyone who has to go through this.

God Bless

Fat E

So sorry to hear it.

Sincerest condolences, man. We'll leave this up for a little while longer, but regardless, please keep everyone posted. Hang in there.

Dont be mad at God, she is being brought home for a good reason

Be blessed that those little ones still have blood family standing by to take them in.... I prayed so hard for angels of healing but sometimes God has other plans

God bless you and your family, Elvis.

Sending prayers for peace and comfort to you and your family Fat Elvis.

I just received word that my sister went to be with the Lord early this morning. I'm thankful that I got one last chance to see her last night and that she was surrounded by love and her family. Again, thank you so much for your prayers during this time. Please keep Nzoner and HayWire in your prayers.

God Bless

Fat E

Dang, really sorry for your loss. Praying for comfort for you and your family.

My condolences. RIP

So sorry to hear this news. God bless you and your Family. May she RIP

Very sorry for your loss. Stay strong..

Prayers for you and your family during this difficult time. Your sister sounded like she was the epitomy of strength and grace until the last moment.

Glad you got to say your goodbyes.
