8/5/07
Pris, Last Friday my
bro
ther
had a brain hemorrhage which resulted in a stroke. The stroke resulted in
paralysis of the right side of his body. The hemorrhage was significant, about
the size of a golf ball in circumference, and his initial prognosis was not
good. Incredibly he has progressed in his recovery to a point that he has
regained almost all of his bodily functions including his speech capabilities in
just a few days! Please keep him in your prayers.

He is going to have a
scan run on the 23rd. to see if there is any
cancer anywhere else in his body---if not they
will operate on the lung. It is a 14---what ever
that is. They found this spot in 05 --it was the
size of a pin head---why they didnt do something
then---I dont know. If they find cancer
somewhere else-then they will discuss
treatments.

lot of weight, but coming along Brenda
said. He has several Dr. appointments this
month yet to see how effective his
treatments were.
