Brett, We are praying for you and your family !!

Unfolding the Rose

It is only a tiny rosebud,A flower of God's design,But I can't unfold the petals,With these clumsy hands of mine

The way of unfolding flowersIs not known to such as I,The flower God opens sweetlyIn my hands would surely die.

If I can't unfold a rosebud,this flower of God's design -Then how can I have wisdomto unfold this life of mine?

So I will trust him to lead meEach moment of every day,And I'll ask him to guide meEach step of the way.

For the pathway before meMy heavenly Father knows,And I'll trust him to unfold itJust as He unfolds the rose.

God Bless !!

rough couple of days

good afternoon everyone,

I usually don't talk about myself

and how I am doing but In this case I wanted to let everyone know what has been going on

and also get this off my chest ( I wish literally )

well monday afternoon I had some pretty bad pain in my left lung , I couldn't take a deep breath

it felt like when I had my chest tube in after my V.A.T.S

so I called my local Dr. and he told me to go to the ER

so I did and they checked me over pretty good and they did another CT scan

and turns out the spot in my left upper lobe had more than tripled in size so they called

my pulmonologest at UofM and he said he wanted to see me right away

so my wife and I went there yesterday morning my doctor met me at the sign in desk

and wanted to see the scan that they took here at the hospital in grand rapids

he looked at it along with the radiologist and some other Drs.

they think for sure that the spot that had grown so large so fast is cancer

but there were some other spots much smaller and lower that they were not sure of

so they are going to do a bronchoscopy on those spots along with the large spot

to make sure

they said they want to get me in a.s.a.p. probably monday

my pulmo said the best thing that could come out of this was that the spots lower and smaller

test negative in witch case they would just remove my left upper lobe were the giant spot is

and if it tests positive than they would remove the left upper lobe and put me on some oral

chemo therapy and hope that it would take care of the rest

If it doesn't than he would recommend a double lung transplant

but all I can do now is wait till after the biopsy

my wife and family are taking it pretty hard,,, so could everyone say a little prayer for my family

PLEASE?

thank you
