A Show of Support

Normally on my blogs, I like to keep it light, telling interesting things that's happening with me or talking about stuff I've seen in the movies or on TV, but with this entry, I want to talk about something serious concerning two of my friends.

First, I hear that Rob, one of the closest friends I know (he's the "Pratt" of "The Pratt/Brown Discussions" blog that we work on) had a bone marrow exam taken last week to see if there was anything serious going on with his blood cells. He'll get his results Monday.

Then, recently I got some news from Grant, one of my online buds. He's been fighting headaches and other ailments for quite a while. After getting a checkup, he was told that he may have Wilson's disease, an condition that causes the body to be unable to remove copper from its tissue. This could lead to all kinds of problems, such as liver failure or brain damage, and if not medicated could be fatal. He won't know the test results for a while.

Hearing this bit of news about two of my friends flat out sucks. It makes the things that I talk about on the blog seem trivial and insignificant compared to the potentially life and death situations my friends are dealing with. As I've told both of them, I hope for the best results and that both of them will be in my prayers.

Guys, you have my total and complete support and I hope and pray that things will work out.
