  • My Brother isnt doin so well

    Got this e-mail from Mom this morning.

    I am sending this e-mail to ask for prayer for my precious son, Benton. He was admitted to the hospital yesterday. As I write this, he is in ICU... fighting for his life... He has been sedated because he is on a respirator to help him breath.....due to both of his lungs being completely filled with fluid....It is asperiation pneumonia....and there are other issues he is dealing with. He often has this...but....this time is the worst!!! He has dealt with his illness head on from the start, not letting it get him down. Benton has fought a couragious battle for several years. He is a remarkable man and loved soooo much by his family and friends. He is such a special, funny, GOD loving man...my "wild chld" on his beautiful motorcycle that he loves so much. It is heartbreaking to see him go through all this, but, I know GOD has a plan for my baby. His birthday is right around the corner...Dec. 18th.

    Thanks so much and Merry Christmas to all,

    Gwen


    My brother is a good man. An old outlaw biker turned into a biker for Jesus. Still wears the long braided ponytail and rides his Harley almost daily. A Vietnam vet Airborne Ranger. He has cheated death 100 or more times due to his blood pressure that drops frequently to almost nothing. Many times you cant even find a pulse. His medical problems are many, but he has always come back.

    Please keep him in your prayers. His birthday is tomorrow, (sat).

            Thank you for the kind words and prayers. We will go today to see him. I dont guess he will know so much that we are there, but we need to be there for each other.

                      Hey Dave. Man, thanks for asking. Just to know you guys are here is good comfort. Right now there isn't anything any of us can do except for just this. Being there for each other.

                      And on the other hand, I "just" got a call that my Great Aunt passed away. I believe she makes the 8th death for us this physical year.

                        May God give us strength and courage in the time of our darkest hours.

                          Me too brother. Thank you.

                          You guys are gonna think I'm starting to make all this up, but I just got another call that a family that I grew up with (childhood friends) just lost their dad, Jim Vercher. A dear friend to my parents, and a great father to my friends Debbie and Randall.

                            Well, its looking somewhat promising. They are gonna pull the breathing tube this morning and see how he does. Mom and the wife walked in to see him and he nodded his head as they wished him Happy Birthday. They said he had tears roll off his eyes. Today will be a day of answers.
