Now it's mid-February:(

[Mitzi]

Now they have changed the surgery until mid Frbruary...This is agonizing!

[TinStar]

Just to let you know, you and yours are in our thoughts and prayers.

[Mitzi]

Thanks....This sure has been a long hard wait.

[SGT Dave]

Not much longer in the whole scheme of things. Rememeber I've said I feel positive about this and it's chance of success from the get-go, even when the NS was pessimistic.

Be strong-I may even send you a picture of the grass skirt, if it'll take your mind off things. :D (I dind't say with me in it BTW)

:D

[Mitzi]

Awwww,cmon Dave! Make this old lady SMILE! lol We also found out today my husband didn't get the job he had been so counting on. Things aren't great around here.

[klar]

Mitzi, I know that there is a ending coming soon for you and your whole family. You hubby will get a nice job that will bring food and shelter upon you and your son will get his treatment and come out of it a lot better. Once this all happens I will be here to congratuate you on having everything work out in your favor. Until that time all of us are here for you and will help support you when your down. Heck some of us will even carry you when you can nolonger stand on your own. I am praying for you and yours.

[Mitzi]

It's a good thing I don't drink! lol

[klar]

LOL you do not have to drink to be down and trying to drown your sorrows will not help in the least amount but heck that is just the pepsi in me talking LOL

Mitzi, I almost got killed while on duty twice. I'm not some kind of religious fanatic I am Lutheran and teach Sunday School to 6 & 7 year olds every Sunday. Through my personal experience getting hurt it has brought me closer to God. Then my wife committed suicide which made me doubt God a lot. I had a .38 stuck in my mouth ready to commit suside myself when I got a knock on the door and the minister came to visit. Somebody sent him at the right time . Five minutes later and it would have been all over. That's when I really believed in God and he can work wonders. I stuck to my praying. I pray for your son daily and for your whole family and especially for you because a mother is always closer to her child after carrying him for 9 months. We are all out here pulling for you. Praying for you. Your husband will find the job he's looking for. Times gets real tough at times but the next day can bring good news. Your son is in the hands of the Lord and he can't be in no better hands than that. Keep praying and everyone else will be praying for him. There will be light at the end of the tunnel. You have traveled a hard road. I don't care what religion you are but read Palsm 23 and you will realize you are not alone no matter how bad things get. Also we are your friends so dump all your problems and fears on us. We care about you and thats what we are here one big family. I went to the Lutheran seminary three times to be a minister, being Lutheran you can get married and have a family. I wound up being a policeman so I enjoyed helping people. Like I said I never talk about religion or push it but you need a lift and there is a God out there. I'm not one to say I ever talked to him or seen him like some people but I believe and nothing is to terrible for him to take care of. He is the great and the final doctor. Let's everyone pray for Mitzi, her son, her husband, and the rest of her family. I have never written a letter like this before but I think it is important that we all get together as a big family and pray for her in her time of need and uplift her spirits and give her the hope she needs. JOSEPH

[Mitzi]

Thank you so much, Joseph! This means an awful lot to me.

[Desmar]

Mitzi, I do not know if I got the whole of what is going on. But you and your family are in my prayars ( I hope I spelled that right.) and I will try to get some friends from my church to do the same. They say that the more peopole that pray the stronger it is. good luck on this and I will try to help.

[Desmar]

I prayed for you and your family. How is it going. I will continue to pray. Keep us updated and God bless you. :D

[jellybean40]

I hope that February brings you the good results that you have been waiting for! I hope that 2002 gets better for us all... my 84 yr old mother has had pneumonia since Xmas day, and is just now making a slow recovery. Her cancer has spread to her lungs, so anything worsening her breathing is very dangerous.

I will keep good thoughts for you. Jill

[Mitzi]

Thanks, jellybean. We are all on edge. This has been such a long process. We now have a surgery date but he has to do so much more two weeks before surgery. Sometimes this amost feels like a bad dream. Sure hope we wake up soon! I just pray for my son's safety.

[klar]

Mitzi, If I may ask when is the surgery scheduled for so that we can say a prayer that day in hopes that everything comes out well and then your nightmare will be over.

Klar

[Mitzi]

Thanks so much, Klar.
Is surgery date it Feb. 18, at 10 am. If they see they can get the seizure activity, then they will operate again on Feb. 20.

[Jake]

Hello Mitzi!

I hope things goes well! seems to me that hes having a hard time with all theses operations! im sure hes getting sick of tired of it! altho im sure hes getting sick of tired of the spells as well!

anyhow im praying for him to feel better and to get rid of the seizures.

[Desmar]

:D I hope that you and your family are doing okay. I have been busy with school but if you need somebody to talk to then I am here for that and for help. I will pray for the success (I hope that I spelled that right) of the surgery. I pray that our Father God will bring a swift healing to your family. And I hope that there is a swaft recovery of body and sprit for your son.
:D

Well, Mitzi, it's now Mid February...update us!

[Mitzi]

Surgery is this Monday. He will have electrodes on and in his brain. If they think they can pin-point the brain seizure activity and it's in an area they can remove, they will go back in and remove that paret of the brain tissue. It's been a tough week, but we are getting there!

[Mackey]

Mitzi:

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!

[TexReserve]

Mitzi,

I'll add you and your son to my prayers, especially Monday. Hope every thing goes ok and according to plans.

Godspeed.
