LengerichKA88 1,881 #28 Posted November 20, 2018 I’m not the most religious man, and most outside of the Catholic faith see praying to the Saints and Angels for help and guidance as a “pagan” thing, so if this offends I apologize, but every time I have prayed to Michael the Archangel for strength and guidance, my prayers have been answered one way or another. Praying for Health, healing, comfort, and compassion for you and yours. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,615 #30 Posted November 20, 2018 Be strong as I am sure Emory will be. The most pain a parent can suffer is watching their child suffer. Best wishes and prayers for Emory and his family. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve quickly found that this whole community is of great help in so many ways. Just think of @oldredrider, @Ed Kennell, and many others who helped work on, track down tools, loan tools, offer advice, and on and on for the 633 Emory bought at the big show. We really are just a big family separated by miles. That’s why I wanted to share the issues that we are struggling with. You guys ARE family! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howie 882 #34 Posted November 21, 2018 You are struggling with this but we have an awesome God who has said he will always be with us. WE do not see the whole picture and we must trust him but from experience I can tell you that is not always easy. I struggled with that earlier this year when i lost my wife. Our prayers and yours for Emory are what we can do. My prayers go with you. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,670 #36 Posted November 26, 2018 Our TeenGroup and my family will be praying for Emory and your whole family throughout this challenging and difficult time. I have long said that I would much prefer to go through and injury or sickness for my child than to see them have to deal with it. My heart hurts for you as you must face this challenge with Emory. However, It was my honor and privilege to meet such a fine young man at the Big Show last year. He is respectful, polite, and has such a great disposition that it is hard to imagine that he is dealing with these severe health challenges. One of my favorite pictures from the BS is this one... If Emory enjoys these little tractors (and it is obvious that he does) I feel like they will be great mental therapy for him. Often when we go through some sort of sickness, a positive mental distraction can be a real help. I also feel like the bond that he has with you through working on them and talking about them and driving/using them will allow him to borrow some of your strength. God bless you both but especially little Emory and he goes through this challenge. I pray that the Great Physician would touch this young man and heal him from these complications. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 16,880 #38 Posted November 27, 2018 Can't say it any better than @PeacemakerJack Josh said. It is good that you keep him "distracted" with the little red tractors. Not only does it keep him busy and his mind off of things but it gives you two time together. Tell that little guy I said hello and hope to see him again soon. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,494 #40 Posted March 18, 2019 Thanks so much for all of the prayers folks!!!! We went to Emory’s orthopedic doctor today and got a lot of relief! He had Emory do a standing X-ray of his hips. He relieved us in that he said he didn’t feel that Emory has thinning of the bones or displacement of his hip. His socket is normal and development is on target for a child his age. Any irregularities are typical of a child with cerebral palsy. He will visit the dr again in a year with X-rays repeated in 2 years. Now, we can breath a little easier!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers, support, and kind words! 3 2 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 10,710 #41 Posted March 18, 2019 That's some great news dells, that has got to relieve many of your concerns. And it's also good to know that basically Emory is growing normally. Any news on the seizures? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right now Randy, he’s taking seizure medicine that the dr says gives him an 80% chance of never having another one. As far as we know, he is on it for the long haul. We don’t mind as long as the meds do their job. He is one tough little guy and everything to me! I would go crazy without him. He goes with me every step and trip I take. I couldn’t ask for a better little buddy!! 3 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
