Urgent Prayer and Help Request for MistyCA's Hospitalized Vietnam Veteran Brother

MistyCA

[Jim Robinson]

Here is the request from MistyCA:

I need help. My brother is in the hospital in Santa Barbara. He is dying. He has 10% heart capacity left after having (since Vietnam) three surgeries to replace infected valves and a resection to remove diseased tissue. The most recent surgery was done in Palo Alto by Dr. Burdin two years ago. He has chronic infections and needed a transplant but the VA denied the transplant.

Now he is sitting in the hospital in Santa Barbara waiting for the VA to get off their butt and get him in a VA facitility so he can get the care he needs. Here is his story in his own words.... dang...I can't remember how to make a link.. http://members.cox.net/jkk/vet.htm

This vet needs some freeper noise and help. Is there anything anyone can do here to get someone to move the VA to help him? Please. :( Can someone help me do a thread for my brother?

[MistyCA]

You are the best, John! Thanks! :)

Wonderful news Misty! Continuing sending up prayers for your brother and family.

Thanks for the ping, JH2.

Misty, glad to hear things are improving for your brother and his mood and spirit are upbeat as, in my opinion, that's 99% of what it takes to survive. Best wishes and prayers to you, your brother and the rest of your family. Joe (MCM)

I should have said he is NOW a candidate for the transplant at Palo Alto.

Well that makes more sense.

Note to all, I have it from the highest authority that you can submit more than one prayer request for the same subject.
This comes right from the top.

Thanks for updating us on your brother. Great news! Now lets hope it goes official.

Continuing prayers until this is over.

Late, but not forgotten. Thanks for the ping, Tonk. Prayers go out always for Vietnam Vets. Each and every one is special.
G-d be with your brother and your family, Misty, and welcome him home for all of us.

I'm in Ft Worth Texas. This is a rule that went in effect in Jan. 2003.
I will have to get a CPA to give me a Full fin statement. the VA want even take my request w/o that and more even though it says on the request form that I don't have to disclose my info. Thanks for your help.

I am still having test done and don't have my info with me.

Thanks for taking the time to help me.

Misty, I don't know how I missed this almost a month ago, but thank you, John, for the ping. It sounds like the news is much better now, and surely much of it is because of all the prayers being offered for your brother.

Please keep us posted, and I add my prayers to the many others already going out that everything is going to work out for you all.

Misty, I don't know how I missed this almost a month ago,

Don't feel bad, it's happens to me a lot lately. I get so many pings, I could never keep up...

[ST.LOUIE1]

God's blessings for your brother, Misty. For you, too. : )

Thanks for the ping, King. : )

[JohnHuang2]

Welcome, amigo.

[MistyCA]

Thank you both. I have missed so many pings and have been so busy lately that I can't keep up with any of it, so all of the response here is even more special to me. Just know you are all the blood that makes the FreeRepublic heart pump and that is an awesome thing. Thanks again, JimRob!

[MistyCA]

Thanks, Louie. :)

GOD'S BEST TO ALL INVOLVED.
