Well, I don't come here very often anymore, I mean I come and check the site but I don't think I've posted in probably a year. But something just happened with my family and the first thing that came to mind is how everyone posts prayer requests here, so that's what I'm doing.

About an hour ago an ambulance was at my house to come get my dad. He had called me up for help and as soon as I saw him I knew something was wrong, he's a diabetic and has had a heart attack and two strokes before and at first I just thought it was his sugar dropping but then knew it was much worse than that. My mom called the ambulance and they took him away and think he had another stroke.

My mom just called us now and my sister and I are going to the hospital, we have no idea what's going on but the doctors told my mom to call family. I'm way beyond scared, I love my dad more than anything and he's the one person I can always count on, I'm the biggest daddy's girl ever and don't know what I'd do without him. So I'm asking and begging you all to please pray for him, I'll be forever grateful. Thank you.

Sorry to hear about this, Kelsey. Your dad and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm sorry. :(

I hope he's ok.

aw sweetie you guys are absolutely in my thoughts and prayers!

Your dad and family are in my thoughts and prayers.

:( You are def. in my thoughts and prayers

I'm sorry to hear that. Your family and father will be in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry to hear this and I hope he'll be ok.

no matter what has happened, remember that he is in the best hands now. medical attention is obviously what he needs, and youve done the right thing by getting him help.
prayers are with you and your family.

I'm sorry to hear that. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

he's in my thoughts and prayers

I just got back from the hospital and I wanted to say thank you to everyone. It turns out he was bleeding very badly in his brain and very deep and his brain was swelling. At the moment he's in a coma, and the dr's said that even if they were able to relieve the pressure he will more than likely not walk up again or speak again. It's not official or anything, but my dad's gone. And I don't know what to do. I miss him more than I can even explain and nothing is ever going to be the same. I just don't understand why this happened, he was fine when he picked me up from school and then this just came out of nowhere and I can't believe he's gone and I'm never gonna be able to hug him again or anything. I wanted to thank everyone again for your thoughts and prayers. It means a lot.

Oh gosh, that's rough. I am so, so sorry to hear that. Please know we will be keeping you and your family in our thoughts -- and please feel free to use all of us as a support group! Hang in there and focus on good memories. Try not to focus too much on the "why?", but definitely allow yourself to cry. Hang in there. ((HUGS))

I am so sorry Kelsey. Like Carrie said, just keep thinking of all the memories that you have with your Dad. I know that won't take away the pain of losing him, but hopefully it will help.

((hugs))

I'm sorry what you and you're family are going through Kelsey, you and your family are def. in my prayers. Like Carrie said if you ever need to vent we can be your support group! *HUGS*

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry! :( *HUGS*

I'm so sorry to hear that. You and your family will be in my thoughts.

I am so sorry Kelsey - you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers

:( I'm so sorry.

Aww, I'm sorry. :( We're all here for you, remember that.

Thanks again to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. It's now official and he was declared dead at 3:37 this afternoon. They're trying to see if what organs of his are able to be donated, he was in bad shape so I'm sure it won't be many. But as of right now his liver and lungs are, and we may have someone that's going to take his liver, so I know he'd be happy to help someone. I just wanted to say thank you again, I can't tell you all how much I appreciate it.

I'm so sorry. :(

I am so sorry Kelsey. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through.

((hugs))

:( I'm so sorry...Ya'll are still in my thoughts and prayers. ((HUGS))

Wow. I didn't expect this, to be honest. I am so sorry for your loss, Kelsey.

I actually ended up driving through Kent City this afternoon and I thought of you. I hoped I'd read good news when I came on here. ((hugs))

I am so, so sorry to hear that. Your family is in my thoughts.

((HUGS))

*hugs girl*

I am so sorry, please know that all of us are here for you

I am so sorry for your loss

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers

Thanks again everyone, I'm kinda doing better, the dr got me pills for anxiety and all but I'm doing okay. It's kinda weird cause one minutes I'll be just fine and the next I'll be completely horrible, but I guess that's expected right?

Well good news for me, my dad is getting cremated(sp?) in his Mark Martin Jersey just like I wanted. I know that's what he wants too. So that makes me very happy. And I swear my old man must have timed this just perfectly, cause all this winter he kept telling me "Ya know I really don't wanna see Mark drive in anything other than the six." So I guess he got his wish huh? lol

oh I am so sorry! *hugs* That is good about his jersey though.

I am soo sorry. :( Your family is in my thoughts and prayers!
