I am a mess..... It saddens me deeply to tell you... with all of our prayer and deep love and contemplation... I have just given permission to the surgeon to take my fathers leg below the knee. They say it is the only thing that will save his life... I can't imagine that he will survive this surgery in the weak state that he is in... the infection in the toes is causing gangrene and it must be dealt with... this is not my choice... it is in Gods hands now... I wish my father to stop suffering...... another day in Hell~~ Has someone made a voodoo doll with my name on it...... Life is so hard these days.....Ree
modified to say..... please say a prayer for ME this time Im losing it for sure......

Oh Ree,  well every prayer vibe, good thought.. the whole lot are all coming your way. With gangrene amputation quickly is the only way to go and I'm sure they will monitor him like a hawk under the anaesthesia. When is he scheduled for surgery so we can put an extra burst of prayers in right when they are needed most?
Take care, let us know how you and your dad are doing when you can
lots of love
Helen

Ree.more than anyone I know, you have a deep faith in God.....please rely on HIM to know what your father's plan is, and try to remember the miracles you've seen happen here.
My heart goes out to you as you walk this very difficult road.

This is one of those times,
When He is really carrying you in his strong arms.
I know man has a map of his life and plans
for the future, but all we have is now.
the past is unchangeable,
so you must let go of guilt.
You cannot go back and erase the infection that
caused the events to turn this way.
and the future, well, that is borrowed, too.
Hypothetical and dreamy...it is too far away
for us to need to worry about.
All we get is this heartbeat,
this sunrise,
this blank slate on which to draw
hope, peace and love.
Hold tight to your family and friends,
and know that God has a bigger plan,
a better future than even you can dream of.
It will come to your dad,
greatfulness that your were strong enough
to do the right thing.
Joy that he has survived and is able
to go for a walk and a ride
( in a chair, or with a prothectic device...)
He will get the chance to learn new things,
to see new things,
to try new things...
It is not a loss, but an opportunity.
Physical therapy will cost
but we do not grow without a struggle.
God bless you in the rough times,
giving you the tiny miracles that will
make you stop, look heavenward,
and say, "Hallelujah."
For really all we have is a gift from above,
and each moment we get is another gift.
You know that,
dealing with the pains that we have.
and now your dad will learn it.
Cherishing the gift, knowing it is indeed precious.

Done, Ree. Candle is lit again for your Dad tonight. Father God, please guide Bud's surgeons and send them the wisdom to perform a successful surgery.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
Go Bud Go!

So sorry to hear about your Dad, Ree. Prayers going up for him and for you. Hang in there girl.
Jonny had a great idea - if you want to put the address out there, perhaps getting some well wishes from the Cluster family would help your Dad and let him know he's being thought of and maybe lift his spirits.
Hugs to you
Carol

Ree..
My father went through the same thing. He was in a weakened state and had the gangrene. He was told he had to either lose the leg or lose his life. He underwent the surgery and had the leg amputated below the knee. That was a good thing because it allowed him to keep the flexibility of the knee. He came through the surgery just fine and was fitted with a prosthetic leg. It fastened to his knee and in a short time he was able to do 98% of the things he used to enjoy...including bowling. It gave him a new life, and he functioned just fine for 18 years with it. He died last year due to totally unrelated problems. There is hope. Hang in there and let God decide the outcome. You know you can trust Him.
