    Default Debbie-cat - Update

    First I want to thank everyone for the prayers, well wishes and thoughtfulness. I thought I would check in and give you an update on my son Luke.

    Last Friday he had a gastronomy and colonoscopy and ultrasound. This Friday he is scheduled for a catscan and on the 21st we will receive all the results from these tests. If nothing is discovered we will then head to the city of Thunder Bay to see a gastro specialist.

    Luke is 6 feet 7 inches tall and 6 months ago he weighed 296 pounds. He now weighs 186 pounds and continues to drop daily. All fat is gone and now he is beginning to lose muscle. It is extremely scary and is almost like watching your son slowly die in front of your eyes.

    I would appreciate continued prayers for him. I have seen many miracles happen here on Frugal Village through all the wonderful people coming together and saying prayers for those in need. I need you all now. Please.

    I will keep you updated when I can. The days are spent trying to get him to eat anything and pacing the floors worrying. I love you all and miss the going ons here in the village.

    Remember to give your loved ones a hug tonight.

    God bless.
