Sending angels your way, Flyer. Prayers lifted up.

In early May of this year, our dear friend Flyer was diagnosed with a brain tumor and lung cancer. The doc’s told him the tumor was not curable, but treatable. His understanding of the lung cancer was that it was minor (if there is such a thing).
Several weeks ago Flyer finished radiation. Tuesday was his first chemo treatment. Friday he was feeling bad, but did not want to go to the hospital. His brother finally called an ambulance Saturday morning to take him to the ER.
A few minutes ago Eaker, myself and Roger (Flyer’s brother) returned from the hospital. The news is not good.
The lung cancer has spread rapidly. Flyer only has use of one lung. He is on constant oxygen, and his breathing is still labored. Because of the cancer and tumor his immune system cannot keep up, now he has a major infection in his left leg. They are giving him antibiotics thru an IV
The doctors told the three of us that Flyer does not want any heroic measured taken. Right now his care instructions are to keep him hydrated and comfortable.
For those wondering why a prayer thread was not started earlier, it is because Flyer did not want one ~ several friends asked if they could start one, and he said ‘no there are others who need prayers more that I’.
It truly breaks my heart to type the following words, our good friend and a wonderful man will soon die. I am asking you to please pray for Flyer’s comfort.
Our prayers for comfort and peace are being said for you and for your family and friends also. We pray for the miracle of healing and for the medical professionals that treat you.

Brer' Flyer ain't there yet and with the help of this thread maybe we can keep the millions of dogs at the other end of the Rainbow Bridge waiting to meet the amazing Flyer wait a good bit longer.
Psalm 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Amen! I hate to do that to the doggies - but perhaps they can wait for Flyer just a bit longer...
Sending angels your way, Flyer. Prayers lifted up.
Prayers are going up for you Flyer. May God give you healing, rest and comfort.
A candle lit and prayers sent your way Flyer.

Offering my prayers
I'm praying for Flyer right now. Hopefully, things will turn for the better.
You are a great Lady..
God Bless you..

There are not a limited amount of prayers to be said...wish he had let us start to pray sooner. May God's Hands be on his body to heal and comfort.
Oh dear God. He and I were emailing. He said he was doing ok. And then he was working on fixing the other forum and I just assumed he was still busy with it when I didn't hear back.
I don't think I've ever met a more gentle spirit. He is truly a humble man. What a heartbreaker.
Thanks, Mom. I'm praying. HARD.
Ohhhh...
How sweet..
Ms.B
May God Bless and keep Flyer and shine His Countenance upon him.
You are in my prayers, Flyer.
Can you freepmail me about how to make that angel?
It's wonderful!
Ms.B
You have been there for me so many times, even when I never asked. I so admire your generosity, kindness, sharp wit and strong spirit.
Dear God, please be with our good friend Flyer, please put your strong and comforting hands upon him and if there's a miracle available for him, we sure could use it now.
