Sapper could certainly use our prayers.

[COLLEYBERRY]

Hello friends,

 

Sapper ,a regular poster here on CC,could certainly use our prayers and positive thoughts.

 

Sapper has given me permission to share with you what she and her family are going through,

 

Her son Rob was recently diagnosed with myeloid leukemia.

Aggressive chemotherapy,with it's nasty side affects, necessitated a four day stay in ICU.Happily, as of yesterday, he is out of ICU and hopefully will soon be in remission.

 

To add to this stressful time, Sapper's other son ,is presently in Qatar

en route to Afghanistan. Thankfully, they've determined he is a perfect match for his brother... should Rob require a bone marrow transplant the Canadian Arm Forces will send him home to help his brother.

 

Two sons in peril is a lot for a Mom. I am sure Sapper and her family would appreciate our prayers and good wishes.

 

Sincerely Colleen

Oh my. I'm so very sorry to hear this. Saying prayers for Sapper and her family in this difficult time.

 

They are fortunate that the other son is a perfect match. We had a similar situation in our family of 3 sisters so I know it isn't as common to get a match as one would think.

 

Thank you Colleyberry for letting us know.

[Cruzman]

Prayers on the way!

Sapper is a dear poster and my thoughts and prayers have been with her since I found out a couple of weeks ago. All my heart goes out to her.

 

At the risk of sounding too religious, I pray God sends her the strength, the stamina for not just her but her entire family and sends the health to her son. All my hopes and prayers are with her, her husband and her sons and all of her family.

Sapper,

My prayers and good wishes go with you for a speedy resolution to your situation.

God Speed.

Pulling out everything we've got for you and your sons! Hoping for the best, my friend.

 

We are going to Seattle to see our two sons this (U.S. holiday) weekend; they may wonder why the extra hugs this time. Everyone -- don't forget to treasure what you have.
