I''m not really sure where to post this, but since BWW is where I spend most of my PS time these days, I figured this would be okay...

I just wanted to write a quick note asking for prayers and positive energy and thoughts for my Dad. He was rushed to the hospital yesterday for emergency surgery after being sick for almost two weeks. Turns out, he had a number of cysts along his spinal cord, which apparently is very rare. They removed the cysts, but he still has an infection. He''s currently paralyzed from the chest down and the doctors say they don''t know if he''ll ever fully recover.

My dad has always been the healthiest person I''ve known. He never gets sick, always takes vitamins and eats right and gets exercise. He hasn''t even so much as missed a day of work in over 20 years. He''s an avid snowboarder and it''s his passion in life. He''s also a chiropractor and absolutely loves his job and his patients. My dad is a very positive person but I just can''t imagine what it will do to him if he can''t do the things he loves and is passionate about anymore. I feel so scared and awful for him right now.

My FI and I drove the 2.5 hours to see him yesterday and then we had to come back because FI has to work today and the rest of the weekend. But I''m going to take off work today and get packed up and take him some things and go spend the weekend down there. My mom is down there helping to take care of things and my uncle, aunt, and cousin live pretty close to the hospital he''s in so they''ll be visiting.

I just can''t believe this is happening to him. He doesn''t deserve this. I love him so much and I just hope he''s going to be okay. So please, help me out and send him positive energy and prayers and thoughts and vibes and all of that. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Pearl,

You have my thoughts an prayers. I understand exactly what you''re going through. My mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a few years ago, and it affected her ability to walk. She has a great neurologist, and she retains some limited mobility, but it''s not the same as before she got sick. But we know it''s degenerative, and we worry about the future.

I am so sorry this is happening to you and your family. I am so, so sorry. Please know that you''re not alone, and please try to focus on the fact that he has a chance to be back up and about after all this. He needs the positivity to get better.

I am thinking of you and your family, and sending my most hopeful, healing thoughts your way....

Pearl, so sorry to hear this dreadful news about your dad - how tragic for him and for you and your family. I will be sending all possible thoughts, prayers, and dust his way and yours for a speedy and complete recovery - I''m sure in the meantime being surrounded by those he loves will be the best possible comfort.

This exact same thing happened to a friend of mine in November and he was paralyzed from the chest down. They removed the cysts from his spinal cord as well and started him on medications immediately, and today is the very first day he has been home with his family since it happened (for the weekend only). He is living at a Rehabilitation Hospital, but slowly in the weeks after this occurred he started regaining movement in one arm and then another and he now has taken a few steps during his therapy sessions. It has been a rough road for him, hopefully his story can provide you with some hope. I wish you and your family all the best and my well wishes while you are going through this hard time. I also wish your Dad a full recovery and will be keeping you and him in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, I know what it is like to watch a sick parent and it is not something I wish on anybody.
