On Sunday, Michelle Malkin posted a request on behalf of a family for prayers for their son who had successful surgery to remove a brain tumor today. I know that not all of us are Godbotherers here, but if you’re inclined to bug Him a little, please take a moment out of your holiday for Keith Johnston, our burrhog.
 Yesterday was truly a “shout for joy†kind of day. It was great to share hugs, praises, handshakes, tears…I have truly never had a happier moment in my life than when the neurosurgeon told me that my Matt came through really well.
But last night, the boy’s condition in the room down the hall remained very poor. We know very little of their situation because this hospital is serious about patient confidentiality, except that the child’s mother told Denise he was brought in with a brain tumor. Denise believes they were transferred in by helicopter and had an emergency operation.
And this morning the young child was declared “brain dead.†My heart has been breaking for this family as I see glimpses of their pain, anguish, and tears. Pray for them if you can.
I’m far too tired to even try and give my thoughts on this right now. I know for sure that I don’t have all the answers.
I’m not the praying type, but I’ll certainly say a few “to whom it may concerns” for the kid.
I’ll certainly say a prayer for every family that has had a loved one killed or maimed in Iraq thanks to our president’s foolish war, as well as for the safe return of all our soldiers there.

I bet when you hand a bum a dime, you tell him exactly how to spend it.
back on topic. I ordinarily don’t like to annoy the almighty, but in this case I’ll make an exception.
Ah crap. There are too many types of these nasty tumors, so here’s a prayers for it being one of the good ones. I know a little angel that can put in a good word.
Be well, Matthew.
Oh, and yawn? Go fuck yourself, k?
I’m in. Burrhog, you’re in may prayers.
And while I’m at it I’ll also say a prayer for this jagoff, yawn, who is so desperately in need of a brain. (Or maybe I should just email the Wizard of Oz and ask him if he has any refurbs hanging around….)
Transmission sent to the Head Honcho.
On a TOTALLY unrelated subject; yawn, you are without a doubt one of the leading assholes in the United States. This thread had absolutely nothing to do with ANY political issue. Rather, it was solely about a very ill little kid; about as far as one could get from politics and still be on the same planet. Yet you just HAD to throw in that bullshit post.
As we used to say in my sordid you, you have NO class…
Happy 4th to everyone, including timmah, and including that fucktard upthread suffering from end-stage BDS. I am off to start blowing off M80’s and hope to still have 10 fingers at the end of the day.
timmah – If you aren’t doing anything, we are having people over to swim at the pool, grilling steaks, and blowing things up. You and your family are welcome to join us, no matter how wrong-headed you are.
yawn
wander back to pandagon or kos or wherever the rest of you Marxist, evoluntionary deadends like to play…
indeed, please go play on the freeway.
as concerns the youngin’, now added to my nightly “God Bless” playlist.
Prayers and well wishes all around, keep diggin’ burrhogg!
“I bet when you hand a bum a dime, you tell him exactly how to spend it.”
First he has to find somebody to take the dime from, and explain exactly why he needs it more than them.
Yawn, God hates thread hijackers.
