Request for Prayers (or other things) For our Doctor

His cancer is winning the battle and the time he has left will be hard on him. Only a miracle could help at this point. I'm so glad we went to him when we did so my daughter could improve and we could learn more from him. He had so many things he could do for people, whether they had Lyme or something else. He and my daughter have a similar sense of humor, so they always had some laughs at her appts. I don't think I could find another one that meshed with her so well.

So now we have lost 2 LLDs in our area. The other one retired. Now there are no LLDs, just some who treat Lyme without getting the training. There are some further away, but I think we'll try the ones here first.

We had a 10 min. drive to get to our doctor, so now we'll have a longer drive in thicker traffic, which bothers both of us. Hopefully we can time our appointments to avoid the rush times.

Sorry to hear, another cancer battle lost!

I'm so sry. The planet was made better by he & others like him. Hugs

So very sorry....

Thank you everyone. He enjoyed helping people and I suspect he would've been doctoring for many more years if the cancer hadn't won.

He invited people to come see him and say our goodbyes a week or 2 ago, so it was nice to see him. A bunch of us squeezed into his waiting room, which is small and some went down the hallway, so it was a good number of people there. He was talking about his life and some of the people were telling how he helped them so much, so it was good for him to hear that and it was nice for all of us to hear more about him. He seemed to enjoy it quite a bit, but he was tired once the noon cutoff time came. Now he's spending time with his family, like he should be.

His office people are busy getting records onto CDs and filling vitamin orders, so I hope they will be able to finish before it's time to close down the clinic. They've been doing a great job.

We got the news after Christmas and since then other people we know have been diagnosed with cancer or other serious things and one just passed away this week, so it has been an emotional time. I almost don't want get on the phone, but I want to offer support where I can.

Prayers.....

Thanks everyone. Yes, he has had the opportunity to do what he wanted to. He could've just left his practice and moved on, but he saw patients for a week or two after he got the news. Then he made sure all of his patients got their records, which they are still working on and he wrote up a nice letter to all of us. He is still helping patients if they have an urgent need. He just made sure that we had all that we needed to move on to another doctor. He also said if he could do his life over, he would do exactly what he did. He's a good example for other doctors, but not many could go through the training he did.

He was so nice to my mother too, but couldn't do much for her since the drugs had done too much damage by then.

So sorry for his family and the community. Prayer said.
