This prayer request is not for myself but is for my husband (Turbo21) I will make a very long story very short. My husband was hit head on by a drunk driver over 10 years ago since then i have taken him in in out of doctors for years trying to find help. He has 3 herniated disks in his back and for the most part no doctor wanted to perform surgery (excuses were always the same) because he was too young. Many years later i found out it was because they didnt want to go to court with us. having no choice we closed the case. the next doctors visit went awsome and Bob went into surgery the following week. it was a sucess for the most part but when the scar tissue started forming i pressed again on the sciatic nerve just the same as the disk was doing. He went back into surgery again this past September and the surgery was not a sucess now his spine is moving, on March 30 Bob will be going in for a more intense surgery and this is why i am asking for prayers this will be the last surgery that can be tried if this is not a sucess this time there can be nothing done.

We have 2 little girls that just want daddy to be able to play with them without him suffering.

God Bless!

Thanks everyone. This is going to be the toughest surgery yet. a fusion at the L5-S1 level. Removing the disc and adding a bone graff sp? and titanium rods. I have had to give up one of my hobbies already because of my back problems (my huge christmas light display, www.steelcitychristmas.com ) and i dont want to give up this one too.

I am sure raquel (mermaids) will update you of my condition after the surgery next week. and on a side note, if anyone happens to see my name drawn for any of the march giveaways let Rev know i cant pm to claim them because im in the hospital haha.
thanks for keeping me in your prayers

I just wanted to share our experience with the power of prayer. In the middle of November 2012 I was diagnosed with MALT Lymphoma discovered during an Endoscopy confirmed with a Biopsy. I was referred to MD Anderson in Houston and went through a battery of tests. Went through another Biopsy of some Lymph Nodes out side of the original target area. My wife had me on every prayer list she could think of. At our last visit to MD Anderson my oncologist stated that they had reexamined all my biopsy material and the markers are not there now, it is highly suspicious and I will need to be monitored closely but no treatment. Next appointment is 3 months away for rescanning. We can say the power of prayer definitely works and there are a few doctors scratching their heads right now.
