PawPaw Larry needs your prayers

Some of you may know Tim's dad's history, but for those that don't here is an overview. Larry had a seizure back in October of 2007 while driving on his way home from Florida. He was soon diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. It was removed I believe in November 2007. All was well until April-May of this year. He had another seizure while driving on the AA Highway. God was watching over everyone during these two occasions because no one was injured in either of these car accidents. Larry's MRI's didn't show anything so they put him back on his anti-seizure medication and sent him on his way. He had another MRI about 2 months ago that showed "a chemical imbalance in his brain." He was told that this could mean that something was starting to grow and that they may want to do chemo and/or radiation as a preventive measure. That was 8 weeks ago and he still hasn't heard what the plan of action is.

Friday morning, Larry went to eat his daily breakfast at Spare Time and had another seizure despite being on medications for it. He was sent to the ER and had a couple more there because the ER doctor didn't do what he was told by Larry's brain doctor. He was discharged to the brain doctor's office to receive the medicine they were suppose to give him at the ER. He was then sent home. So here we are again, waiting to see what the plan of action is going to be. Larry goes in for some tests on Thursday and Friday to see what's going on.


PLEASE pray for him and our family. We are trying to be patient as we wait for an answer and a game plan. It's very hard not knowing what the future holds for a treatment plan, but we are trying to be patient. Larry is also having a harder time recuperating after this series of seizures so please pray for his healing as well.

We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

This must be very frustrating for Larry and the family.
Things were seemingly back to normal and L-2 was looking good in that new Avalanche.
He had worked a project with me on Thursday and all systems were go. Larry was very much Larry.

The saving grace of the Friday episode was that he was not driving and that he is in the recovery process.

We all sincerely hope that they find and correctly diagnose what is causing these siezures, and get it fixed so that Larry can resume some semblance of a normal life.

Plus - There is work to do - lol!!
