He has been fighting terminal brain cancer for almost 14 months, beating the odds and shocking doctors. Four weeks ago he developed a UTI, his oncologist prescribed antibiotics that the doctor at the rehab center did not fill, two weeks later the oncologist ran another test, UTI was still there so he once again sent a letter asking the doctor to not only give my dad antibiotics but to give him a catheter and help clear infection. It was not done even though my mom requested many meetings with the doctor, she was ignored.

Five days ago my dad walked with a walker, something he has not done since June. Finally rehab and hard work begun to pay off. But the next day the infection took over his body. Today just 4 short days later, he is on a breathing tube, with infection in his blood and lungs. Doctors say things look “very bad” and arent hopeful of him making out of this.

Please pray that my dad once again shocks doctors and pulls out of it. It would be so unfair if a man who has been fighting one of the most aggressive cancers and winning was taken by a UTI. And please pray for my dad not to feel fear and sadness. They had to tie down his hands because he was trying to pull the tube out. My heart breaks for my poor daddy, thinking he is scared and doesnt know what is happening to him.

Thank you.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Pater noster, qui es in coelis: sanctificetur nomen tuum: adveniat regnum tuum:
fiat voluntas tua sicut in coelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie: et dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum; benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritu Sancto. Sicut erat in principio et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

O great St. Peregrine, you have been called “The Mighty,” “The Wonder-Worker,” because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you.

For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fiber of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of man could do no more.

You were favored with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you.

Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.

Update on dad…

Part of our prayers have been answered. Dad’s breathing tube was removed yesterday and he is breathing on his own!! He has oxygen going into his nose but breathing on his own. Mom said he didnt talk much and didnt open his eyes but responded to questions by nodding. She spend many hours with him and by the time she left he begun to talk a bit. He is also now in a private room at the hospital.

He is still not out of the woods, still has infection in his system, we continue to pray that he is able to fight it and that the infection doesnt cause any more damage. Plus we pray that his symptoms were caused by the infection and not cancer only time will show us.

Thank you so much for your prayers. Its amazing how prayer works, when they inserted dad’s breathing tube they asked if we are sure because odds are he will never be able to breath without it and here he is just a day later doing it!!

So please continue to pray for my dad, he is such an amazing and strong person who has a will to live like no one I know.

BTW… I have also been praying for John Paul II intercession, JPII was very special to us, my parents are Polish, my mom grew up in the same town JPII was a P/C/B, she was Confirmed by him. My family holds him very dear in our hearts.
