On Tuesday August 5, my dad woke up with an 104 degree temperature and fainted and was taken back to the Huntsman cancer institute. Upon further testing it was found that he has Eccoli with gram negative rods and sepsis. This is common for cancer patiences to get during chemotherapy treatments, but for my dad this came very unexpectedly and progressed rather quickly. Over the course of the past couple of days it has resulted in a more serious problem than originally thought.
As of right now, he is still in the Huntsman Cancer Institute they are working on creating an immune system for him as seeing that his immune system is down due to his last round of chemo. They have intubated him and are working on getting dialysis set up to help get his kidney and liver functioning again. Today is a critical day for success and recovery. He is sedated, and under antibiotics as well. He can hear all of us but due to his state can't respond but we know he is listening and wanting to chat with us. Each day we have seen miracles that remind us just how in charge our Father in Heaven is. We have been blessed to see how mindful the Lord is of us.
We ask for all of the fasting and prayer you feel to join with ours to petition the Lord for any miracles that are able to be reserved for Ronald and his recover. We know miracles are possible to witness and that angels minister on this earth today and we pray for all of the power and help available at this time that is according to the Lord will. We love all the calls and questions but we ask that you leave comments, questions and anything you want on this blog, and please try to communicate via text only outside of this blog. We have and continue to feel the power and love that has been already extended in our behalf! Now go love your serve, forgive, and deeply love your families!! Thank you for loving ours!
Prayers coming your way! Having recently experienced the familial hardship and loss due to cancer I can personally attest to the power of love and prayer that will make the situation (whatever the outcome) better for him and your family. Lots of faith, love, and prayers coming your way from a fellow californian.
ReplyDeleteWE are PRAYING and FASTING with you! WE love YOUR FAMILY! Please, give Ronald Brent a squeeze from us! Miracles happen when people pray. This we have seen! Love, Aunt Natalie and all the cousins
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for Ron. Our Heavenly Father has the ability to heal each of us. His arms are surrounding your family as you travel down this road of the unknown. I know we are all on His timeline and not our own. Your family is one of the most amazing I have ever met! Please know you are all in my prayers. Love, Linda Manley
ReplyDeleteThe roller coaster ride of cancer is certainly difficult, but as we went through our own cancer journey, I can attest to the power of prayer for comfort, for strength and for healing. Know we are thinking of and praying for your family. Please let Ron know that Thomas is serving in Brazil and asks about him often. Hugs, the Woelki Family
