EVERYONE READ! PRAYER PLEASE!!

symetryexotics Jul 14, 2009 12:34 AM

As some of you know, my 3 year old Autistic daughter went to the
Hospital today for a 104.? fever. We have also been watching
very closely at her neck, shoulder, groin ect for more Cysts to
either come, or go. I just got off the phone wth my wife, and she
said the doctors have found around the number of 15 Cysts in her
neck (3 months ago there as 4). I wife and I are very concerned
because with that high f a numer so quick, there is a chance that
they can be Cancerous. I need all the prayers I can get for my
daughter Madison. Im tore apart right now, please keep our family
in ou prayers. In the next week or 2 a Surgeon will be taking 1
Cyst out and Biopsy it.
Im sorry I cannot type anymore, its hard writing about something
like this. I am 23 and am Scared.

This is waymorethan ANY of us had ever expected. There is also a
lot of neglegence involved, but being healthy is #1 priority.
Eventhough I am young, I feel I have been through a lot more
than others... Being a teenager I was one of the worst of em. I
joined a gang, did stupid stuff, then my first daughter was born.
I immediately 'walked' from all the immature lifestyles and
drugs and concentrated on my family and changing my life, learn
values that I can impress on others to help in any way I can. If
we ever talk on the phone you will know that quick. I am always
sayingsorry for makin you hold on for a quick second. I guess
what I am trying to say is if you have NO RESPECT for yourself
you DEFINATELY wont have any respect for others. My brain was
'brainwashed' by thinking respect was making someone scared of
you, not knowing true respect is what you get when you help
others, such as all of you guys are doing know.

In my eyes, I found out what true happiness is. The overwheming
sensation of joy when you can help in any way you can to someone
who is in need, even if it is as simple as what you did for me. I
am one person that will always try to give my best effort to
help/encourage/share my happiness in hopes it will rub off on you
or if I could take some of your burden and put it on my shoulders
to make the weight a little lighter.

Ty Hege, Eric Baker, and Dave Colling are my best friends in my
daily life, and yes I have a lot of friends around me, but when
you are looking for a certain kind of characteristic quality, the
I can feel 100% comfortable with calling them (sorry Ty, last
night was really emotional)and just crying my eyes out about
what is going on, and I KNOW they listen, talk, and encourage me
in ANY way they can. Dave is in Hawaii right now and he called
me to see how everything is going, he just was not expecting to
hear what I told him. We all live in different states, so we only
talk by phone, and getting a 'platinum' friendship on the phone
is almost unheard of. Those 3 (and some others) are the first
people I would go to in time of need, I know they do not judge
me, they are only there to help.

To sum things up (yes I am all emotional- sorry) I consider me
getting into Boas (passion) a true blessing to my daily life. I
have found Genuine people, and made the best friends that anyone
could hope or dream of having, and for that I am truely blessed.
Thanks you 3, you know what you mean to me, but it is nice to
truely let someone know you are greatful/priviledged/honored to
be able to call them friend.
