I certainly will Big Al. It is a hard thing to lose a parent whether your 50 or 5, you still are their kid. God's love and grace be with you and your entire family.

thank you oldtimer and God bless all who has said a word for my family.

I met a nice young man the other day, while visiting a friend at NCH.
The young man all of 11 or 12 named Thacker i think. Not sure, was awaiting some results on some blood work.
News from the doctor was there was a problem with some of the blood work and wanted to send him to Johnson City Medical Center for further test and evaluation.
Had this kid on my mind ever since meeting him. Called the family today and their worst fears were told to them
Luekemia. Their to fly the child to St. Jude's tomorrow morning.
This young man has faced a lot and his only words were, how long will it take to beat this.
Remember this brave young man in your thoughts and prayers.
Thanks.

He will be in our hearts and prayers. Please keep us updated.

A long road ahead for Thacker.
Was told today that the young man has lymphoblastic leukemia.
However, it has not ventured outside of his bone mass. Which is a good sign.
Doctors are very optimistic at this time.
Still the chemo is making him very sick. One day he is just weak and tired. Next day he may be sick all day with vomiting and other symptoms. Hard on the youngin and his family.
Six weeks of intense chemo., then home and a year or so, of treatments.
Long ways till this is over.
St. Jude's i hear has been fantastic to the young man and his family. It's a shame a child has to face things like this.
Keep them all in your thoughts and prayers. I'll update when ever i hear more.

Please keep the George Maddux family of GC in your prayers. I noticed in the paper today his daughter Erica passed away. She was a teacher in the Scott Co. school system, and was 38. She taught me in the 5th grade, and was a super nice lady.

I found out earlier this morning it was apparently an odd strain of pneumonia that the doctors could not do anything with. She went to the hospital Saturday and passed Sunday night. It has to be very hard for them at this time, with it being so sudden and unexpected.

Please pray for Eric Bolling from Pound. He is a fine young man and a great athlete. He is in the hospital with a blood clot in his lung and suffering some damage in his knee. He is a upcoming sophmore.
