Just got finished from shift with 28yrs of caring for King Vanity who is a medically fragile quadroplegic.
We came home from Medical Center and have been working full board to keep him going.
Doc suggested we take him back to the Med Center for hospice arrangements.
I have been his careprovider for all his life and he has asked me to stop making him get up and go like he used to do and let him rest.
His lungs and digestive sytem are shutting down due to lifelong brain stem damage.
Our Priest will be here tommarrow to give him his last rites...
He will then be allowed to chill (I will make him work when possible to get up and go) untill the good Lord calls...
We have done all possible and are respecting his right to have comfort at home.
Meaning Free Repub and CSpan Road to the White House. (each to their own)
He will be 28 on May 23 and is the longest survivor of his type.
I know the Lord will grant him many years to come just not as a go go guy.
Medically he can not tolerate the constant hands on care as his health requires more and more constant care.
King Vanity is an active Catholic and a member of Militia Imaculta Fr.Kolbe ministries which is his life long goal of lifting all others up in his suffering through Prayers.

Prayers for King Vanity.
We know we will have a FReeper saint to ask for intercession!
May God give you peace.
Blessings to all of you who are so special.
Please remember to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet with him.
January 28, 1938. Today the Lord said to me, My daughter, write down these words: All those souls who will glorify My mercy and spread its worship, encouraging others to trust in My mercy, will not experience terror at the hour of death. My mercy will shield them in that final battle...(1540) Write that when they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the merciful Saviour. (1541)
Father, You made us in Your own image and Your Son accepted death for our salvation. Help us to keep watch in prayer at all times. May we be free from sin when we leave this world and rejoice in peace with You for ever. Amen.
God bless and keep both you and King Vanity.
May God bless and keep him — and you for your patient care!
Abba,
Father,
King of the universe
I pray send your Ru'ach HaKodesh
to breath on the soul of King Vanity
in his hour of need.
Breathe on King Vanity and draw him nearer to you.
I pray that if it be your will have him come to know your Son
I ask that peace be given to his family
I ask these things in the
Holy Name of Your Son
The Word of YHvH:
bshem Yahshua HaMashiach
Amain and amain
I recommend the Chaplet of Divine Mercy to be prayed in his presence.
Prayers going up.
Prayers for you and your friend.
Prayers on the way.
Add my prayers to all the rest
Prayers up for King Vanity and loved ones.
