We received a phone call this morning from Sandra’s Parents’ next door neighbour. She had just called an ambulance for Sandra’s Dad.


Brian has non-hodgekins Lymphoma and has been living with the disease and undergoing weekly treatments for several years. His health has declined further in recent days, and his kidneys and heart are struggling. Last Wednesday Brian had minor surgery to reinstate a fistula in his arm. He has problems with low blood pressure and we don’t know if he had fallen or what’s happened. (He’s been falling a lot recently) Sandra’s Mum is also in hospital at present having just undergone knee replacement surgery. I don’t know many details of what’s happening with Brian.


Sandra has gone to be with him and I am waiting for her to call and let me know.


We would appreciate your prayers/positive energies, or whatever you believe in, please.

Brian is doing a little bit better this evening. He was very ill though after taking a fall in his kitchen. He has a gash in the back of his head which needed 6 staples in it, and he was very ill last night, to the point that they thought he may not survive the night. His kidneys were failing and his heart was struggling to keep up. He was put on a ventilator last night, and had a pacing wire placed into his heart and they were giving him adrenaline to raise his blood pressure.


This morning, they started him on dialysis and had him sedated but began easing off the sedation by this afternoon. This evening they have halved all the medications and he is responding to requests to squeeze doctors’ hands and to wriggle his toes, so they’re saying that is all progress. It could be a long road back, but things are cautiously hopeful now.


Sandra’s mum was surprised that people who don’t even know Brian are praying for him. She was pleased, though, and asked me to thank everyone. She is in good spirits and recovering well from her knee surgery and wanting to get back on her feet as soon as she can.


Thanks for all your prayers and please keep praying.

We just got the latest update on Brian from Sandra’s mother. The hospital has upgraded his condition to “Very stable” and are beginning to slowly withdraw dialysis, the ventilator and the medications he was on to keep his blood pressure stable. Very Happy We are hopeful that he will be able to come off all of this without any problems.


Sandra’s Mum, Hazel, spoke to him over the phone tonight, although he was not able to respond verbally, the nurse said that he nodded and acknowledged that he had heard her talking to him.


Tomorrow, we will drive Hazel to Brisbane where she is going into a rehab center to continue the recovery from her knee surgery and she will be close by so that she can go visit Brian without needing to be driven back and forth from their home here on the coast.


Starting to feel like I can breathe again. On a sadder note, though my friend Niki lost her battle with cancer on Saturday morning. Please pray for strength and comfort for her family and friends at this time.
