oldgoat Posted June 9, 2014 #1 Posted June 9, 2014 hello every one I could sure use some prayers. it is for my sister and her husband my brother in-law had a stroke about 3 years ago did ok and came out of it with complications. like motor skills and being weak. he has some kind of problem in his brain that can not be operated on? he quit drinking and smoking and followed doctors instructions to the letter. well at 6:00 am I get a call from my grate nice his granddaughter and my sister saying Dan my brother in-law had a bad stroke. and hit the floor. he is on his way to Peoria hospital in IL doctors here said it is not good. his brain is bleeding where the main problem was before. he can not walk or talk. can only blink yes and no to questions. I am praying they can some how fix him but it is not looking good. he is only 65 years old a Vietnam veteran. and an over all good person. I have to say maybe Vietnam took his toll on him with that agent orange crap? so if you can please offer up a prayer to the big man upstairs many thanks to you all sincerely james AKA oldgoat

bongobobny Posted June 10, 2014 #11 Posted June 10, 2014 Yes indeed I have and will pray for him sir! I pray to the heavenly Father that if it is His will that He touch and heal. I pray for God almighty be with his friends and family to be a comfort to them in this time, and finally that God's will be done. I pray in the name of Jesus!

oldgoat Posted June 12, 2014 Author #15 Posted June 12, 2014 they can not operate on him. he can now talk? but it is hard to understand him. he gets confused a lot. so with a heavy heart my sister will bring him home for what will most likely be his final days a nurse will come in and help my sister. he wants to die at home? doctors said with the brain bleeding. at best we will have him for maybe 2 months. he will go into a coma like state. and breathing will stop. and sad to say that will be the end. this will be our 8th family member to die in 3 years in the last 20 years I have lost 8 family members and 10 friends. this will be hard on my sister. and her grand daughter who they raised. I am so thank full for this wonder full site and outstanding people some I never even met in person. who have gave me so much here I just want to say thank you all so much sincerely james AKA oldgoat.

mechanic1 Posted June 13, 2014 #18 Posted June 13, 2014 James, we will be praying for your brother-in-law and his family and especially your sister. Almost a year an a half ago our oldest son was in a car wreck...very bad car wreck and at 26 years old at first they thought he was dead at the scene and then my daughter-in -law was told as soon as she got to the hospital that he was alive but would die for sure and then later when he didn't die...told us that he would most likely never come out of the coma.....just telling you all this to get to this point...sometimes you just have to have faith and pray that what we hope for is god's will and judgement for what is best. Today, after being in a coma for a month our son did come back to us and much like your brother-in-law could only answer yes and no questions by blinking. And now he continues to slowly get better and can walk with help. His memory and personality with the exception of being out a month is the same as before. As mentally sharp as ever....he has never gave up. If your brother-in-law hangs tough and god almighty has plans yet for him to do....Well, "Thy will be done" Roy
oldgoat Posted July 21, 2014 Author #20 Posted July 21, 2014 thought I would give an update prayers do work. I just found out that a team of doctors came up India came up on Saturday. and called the home where my brother -in law was sent. to under go drug treatment for the bleeding in his brain. well they said they where ready to do the risky operation. at 2;00 am sunday they did the operation. it was a success they stopped the major bleeding. today Monday. Dan my brother in-law. sat up is talking not too good but we can understand him. he can stand up with the use of a walker. he did lose his hearing in the right ear but it was bad from the stroke 6 years ago. today they will try and see how far he can get down the hallway with the walker. if all goes well he can leave the hospital. and the home. and go home to stay on Friday. he is not out of the woods. as 4 years from now they will need to do a update operation? but hey if we get to keep him for 4 more years and no more strokes during that time he will see his grand daughter graduate high school in 2015. that was all he wanted when this stroke got him. but now he is looking forward to seeing her get married some day. thank you all for your prayers I am blessed to belong to such a warm bunch of people here.
