My father was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) in 2001. It has been far from easy, but things have been managed fairly well up until this point.

He was admitted to a local hospital today at 3am. "It" may a a drug reaction (less likely), infection in his spinal cord or white blood cells infiltrating his spinal cord. No diagnosis yet, but many diagnostics are being run. I have never seen him in such pain.

Pray to give us the strength to do the right thing. He has told us he asks for no extraordinary measures-- my mother & I know that is important to him. I feel like I'm suffocating...

Please pray that he may be out of pain soon.

Here he is pictured with my mother...celebrating 40 years together!


Thank You.
