Spent several hours at Oshners hospital yesterday with some not so good of a health report. Immediate operation needed but must get blood stable. Major tummy surgery to correct several things and it is a dangerous operation. Needless to day, prayers are needed on my behalf and gotta tell you, a little concerned myself, change that to ‘lot of’ concern. I have to have it done right away and seems like I will go in next week if the blood can be stabilized. It is not good but I have faith, a must. I just asked all to keep me close in your prayers,
I am going to bacjk our for a spell.
Toby
(((Toby))) You do have our Prayers and we have faith in our Lord.
Toby, prayers continue dear FRiend. Everything will be as it should, and you’ll be back to your perky self. I know that, ‘cause I’m asking for it. Take care and your blood will stabilize.
Many prayers for you going up. I am asking that your blood stabilize for a safe round of surgeries.
Molly, you are on that list too.
I'm sorry I was away when you were posting. Busy, busy day here.
See?? I told ya. You are loved by many and we are concerned when you or your family doesn't drop in for a few seconds. Our strength we pass on to you, my big brother. Love you!
I am breaking my vow to never return to FR because I wanted to tell you personally that I am praying for you.
May God hold you in the palm of his hand and keep you safe. May your doctors have wisdom. May you have peace of mind and may your family & friends be a source of strength for you in this difficult time.
The first words I ever posted at FR were these:

Toby, you have many, many friends praying for you. You are such a dear, sweet, kind man and you mean so much to so many of us. I have missed you so much!
I will pray for you each & every day.
p.s. Also wanted to let you know that Ev (my son) will be deploying again in about 11 months, to Iraq. He won't be training in Mississippi this time though....Arkansas instead. I'm sure it won't be NEARLY as nice.:-)
Oh, and................

Here's some grits for you.:-)
Toby, I tried to call you but, my phone doesn’t have caller ID and so my call was blocked.
Prayers up for you,
Love,
Not gonna take it anymore
Praying for you Toby.
