We need your prayers, folks... My 56 year old brother was advised this afternoon that he might have 12 months to live.
Bill was involved in a terrible vehicle accident about 5 1/2 years ago. The x-rays taken at the time of the wreck allowed the doctors to see the 3 spots (atypical carcinoid tumors) on this left lung. His left lung was removed, he went through physical therapy for his wreck injuries, and then proceeded to try and get on with his life.
Last year, they found a tumor between his left kidney and his back. They removed it... Then recently they found that he had another tumor growing around his ribs on the left side. At the same time they found another growing on the bronchial stump where his left lung had been removed. The specialist today advised that the tumor on this rib cage was not the issue, but that the one growing on the bronchial stump has now paralyzed half of his esophogus and that it was inoperable. They are going to put a stint in his esophogus in order to keep it from collapsing and to provide extra strength for as long as possible. Things aren't looking good, and it appears to be only a matter of time.
That having been said, I know that with God all things are possible. Please pray for my brother, Bill... He is a good Christain patriot in need of healing.

Psalm 103:1-5 ~ “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy Name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits; who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.”

They"re starting an IV now to help bring his heart rate down... It's been elevated ever since the procedure this morning in which all of this was discovered. He is bleeding some in his esophogus right now, but they are controling it. They are keeping him in ICU under close observation for the night...
Thank you all, and I ask your continued prayers...
