My Dad....

When I first came to PR I posted nothing personal. People even thought I was a guy over on the sporting forum. I never planned to feel at home & somewhere along the lines that all changed for me. Guess so many of you have touched me I'm now looking for support in my personal life.

My Dad on xmas night fell ill at my home. This is a pic of him (with my Mom) right before it happened.

He's still in the hospital and very ill. I'm not sure if he's going to make it. He has a infection raging through his legs and they are not sure if they can stop it. If you could please say a prayer and/or send a positive thought his way I'd appreciate it.

Thank you.

He, you, and your family have my prayers.

Oh I'm so sorry Jeta! :( Prayers are coming your way!

I like you over the years have excepted the PR folks as family and share my own family with them in pictures often. You can count on me to keep you and your father in my prayers. I lost my father many years ago and I know how devastating it can be to have a parent in touch and go situations. Keep the faith and I'm sure good things will happen. This is certainly not what you need as you are fighting to recover from your resent accident as well.

I'm sorry to hear about your father JETA. My thoughts will definitely be with him and your family.

Wishing all the best to you, your Dad and your family.

my prayers for your dad, and my best wishes and thoughts are with you all, we all are awaiting positive resolutions for your family this year,keep faith.

Jeta,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

So sorry to hear this news, Jeta. Keep the faith and you and your Dad and family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so about your dad. I'll pray for you and your dad.

I'm sorry to hear your news, good vibes headed your way...

Hang in there Jeta, my thoughts are with you and your Family.

I don't know how I missed this thread yesterday, and I'm sorry that I did. However, I'm glad I discovered it now.

I'm so sorry about your Dad, and I will certainly pray for him (and for you and your family in a special way. I hope the surgery really helped, and will look for an update.

Liz

Hi Jeta, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dads plight, and hope things improve very soon.

I sure will. Take care.

Good luck and prayers.

I am a little late to the game here Jeta but I will say a prayer for you and your father. Just one last thought for you, talk to him, once they are gone they take all the stories and answers to questions with them. My mom and dad died young. I would kill for a chance just to talk to each of them one last time.

I believe with all my heart that Jesus died on the cross for me, no one will ever convince me other wise. Hang in there.

I always feel that prayers for the medical team are always in order. I will include them in prayers for you and your Dad and the rest of you family.

This sounds like it might be the same thing my 6 year old grandson has. If it is the same it is some bad stuff. My hopes and prayers are with you, Jeff :)

Hey Jeta, all the best wishes for your dad and your family!

Just wanted to update this thread.

My Dad is doing well and I swear the prayers and positive thoughts helped. I cannot say thank you enough. They've got a handle on his infection (it even spread to his blood) and his surgery to drain it out of his legs and feet went well.

He's being moved to a nursing home where he can still be given his IV anti-biotics and start learning to walk again.

Thank you everyone. You all are some very special people and I appreciate your support.

Glad he is doing better!

Yes. Actually you and Grandpaw both hit the nail on the head. He's a diabetic with MRSA.

Jeta I am glad your Dad is doing better!
Jimmy B

MRSA is some nasty nasty stuff, I'll keep you in my prayers until he gets a full bill of health.

Oh I'm so sorry I missed this Jeta.
I know how you feel about being part of the family here. I do too and have asked for prayers and positive vibes when I have need some reassurance.
Prayers and positive vibes coming to your Dad, you and your family from across the pond now.
Give him my love.x

Jeta - I'm so glad your Dad is doing better. What a relief. I'll keep praying that his recovery is quick.

Enjoy your weekend!

Liz

Sounds like things are headed in the right direction - great news! Here's to a speedy recovery!

Hello Jeta.
Even though I do not know you well, I have prayed for you and your family. I pray That Gods favor will be upon your home and that your father will rest in Gods peace...

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in Him I will trust."

3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler

And from the perilous pestilence.

4 He shall cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you shall take refuge;

His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,

And ten thousand at your right hand;

But it shall not come near you.

8 Only with your eyes shall you look,

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

10 No evil shall befall you,

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,

To keep you in all your ways.

12 In their hands they shall bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,

The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble;

I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him,

And show him My salvation."
