Update on Dr. O!

Please help me get the word out to the list.

Just heard from sweet onyx and she was very upset and in tears after hearing the news that Dr.O has cirrhosis of his liver. He is going through a new battery of tests and hopefully we will hear more of his prognosis very soon. The doctor DID say that he was responding very rapidly to treatment and was very encouraged by his progress. His touch of pneumonia is clearing up, his anemia is much better and his swelling is down. We are not sure how bad the heart problems are either at this point, but he is maintaining good vitals, so hopefully it can be managed.

The liver problem is potentially devastating news, but with our continued prayers and good medical care, I feel all things are possible. I got the impression that the doctor was hopeful too. We are not sure how bad the liver problem is at this point and onyx was in a bit of shock, but hopefully we will know more tomorrow. I will keep everyone posted.

Dr. O is just one of the sweetest, kindest, gentile, Godly men that I have ever known. I have never seen a man more devoted to his wife than he is with sweet onyx either. It just breaks my heart. We must continue our prayer vigil for his healing, comfort and grace. I know it means the world to onyx and Dr. O. They are so very moved, humbled and thankful for the prayers offered here on their behalf.

Dr.O is a great believer in the power of prayer and practices it daily. When I had cancer in 2010, he lit a prayer candle for me at mass each week and sometimes twice a week. He has prayed for many others here over the years when onyx has told him of other FReeper’s challenges as well. Always quietly and without fan fair, he offers a prayer for those in need. Now he is in need of our prayers and I know that the good people of Free Republic will lift a multitude of prayers to God for he and onyx.

Thank You all!!

Prayers up for our sweet onyx and her beloved DrO.

And like you, my wife and I are both living examples of the power of prayer.

I’m hoping all who read this will pray for our dear friends and that God hears our prayers.

Prayers Eagles Bump!!

A word of encouragement and a big hang in there, , the options of treatments available today are far better than 10-20 years ago .. some like me may have lived with cirrhotic issues for years, hoping that we don’t irritate it.. and maybe struggling to keep it from consuming us at some point.

I’m queing for some new stuff this year myself..

I wish ‘Pa’ Onyx well. Watch out for the cute nurses.

Prayers for your husband, O. Prayers for his total healing. And prayers for your peace and comfort while The Great Physician does His work, in Jesus' Name.

Beautiful post, Penelopesire.
