I would like to ask everyone to Please say a prayer for Jack LoCicero. Jack is Brendan's son.
Jack is going into surgery tomorrow, to have reconstructive surgery on his spine and hip.
Brendan told me that there is a large percentage that Jack will not make it through the surgery.
PLEASE WITH ME PRAY THAT JACK MAKES IT THROUGH THE SURGERY, AND RECOVERS FULLY, WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS!
Thank You & May God Shine His Light On Your Life and family, Keeping Them hHealthy and Safe!
Gary

Thank You all for the Prayers for Jack! I Pray that God will keep and prosper you and your families.
I talked to Brendan today. He told me that Jack is out of ICU, and in a room. It was touch and go for awhile!
Brendan told me that Jack has an incision from the base of his neck to his tailbone. They placed rods on both sides of the spine, and attached them permanently.
Please continue to pray for Jack and family - They need God's Strength until Jack is recovered and home from the hospital.
Thank You All! It means alot to me, I appreciate your care! Gary

Travis,
Thank You for your reply! Yes! Jack is doing great!!!! - I had gone to Brendans for a visit a few days after Jack came home from the hospital, I was soooooo suprised to see him up walking, and moving around so soon after the operation - he was cut from just below his neck to near the tail bone, I wouldn't think that was possible, just shows the endurance and perserverance of youth, and the advances in the medical field. He even grew several inches taller!
Thank You Again! I appreciate your hopes! Gary

Good news to hear, the boy recovered. I've prayed plenty in my life. Not all of my prayers were answered how I saw fit.
One time when I was young & on my own. I become destitute. No job, no money, no food, rent was due, & little gas in my truck. Woke up one am with a large boil on my cheek[it swoll my R-eye mostly shut]. Great! what else is in store for me.
I heated up a double edge razor with my lighter, then lanced it. Razor left a large gaping slash on my upper cheek. Right below my eye.
I prayed most of that day & read my apartment unit's Holy bible. Only thing I prayed for was that my boil healed. So I could see out of my R-eye to look for a job. I fell asleep praying that night.
Early next am I awoke. I suddenly realized I could see out of my bad swollen eye. No sign whatsoever, I ever had a boil. Nothing. No mark, nothing.
GOD is alive & well.

leper,
Thank You for the words of encouragement! They mean alot to me right now!
I forgot to say that Jack had 2 rods placed in his back along both sides of his spine the length of his spine, to stretch it out and straighten it out.
As for the hip, the Dr's didn't do anything with it yet, maybe later after he is healed up completely from the back surgery.
Even Brendan's attitude and demeaner has changed - he was really worried & upset proir to Jack's surgery, but he is better now.
Thanks for the good words and encouragement Gary

Well Gary, life is interesting no doubt. I've personally had many experiences that are hard to believe. Mainly I have only shared them with my Family & close friends of whom I care about. But I have been compelled, to share with others as well as of late. Life, is good
