Thanks Julie

I hope he's okay :(

:eek:Yeah, I remember him, too! Haven't seen him, in, ages.
Hope, he's okay.

This is worrisome if he isn't even available by phone. The last I remember was when he had the colectomy. I can't remember if he posted after the surgery, or not. He did mention that he needed to update his website cuz it hadn't been done for a long time. Last I checked, there was no update. Nancy was working as a nurse. Does anyone know where? How about his church?

Praying someone finds him alive and well!! If so, please post on SD and CP forums also. I know he posted on many more but don't remember all of them.

Brion Larson.........we miss you!

Brion's had a lot of hard challenges this year and he hasn't been posting at a couple of boards he frequented.

Before he posted last time at a board I go to, he had sent an email asking people to please not email him for awhile as he needed time to heal and recuperate. His wife had also been having a rough time in her battle with breast cancer and subsequent therapy for that.

Since that email and post I haven't heard anything either, and we got regular updates from him. The last update was in April. :(

I don't think he'd mind if I shared it, but you may already know about that update. It was on April 29. God, I hope this is okay. :( But as I recall, he was very good at keeping us all updated. Worries me that he hasn't updated. I just hope it's because both he and Nancy have miraculously become much healthier and are enjoying themselves.

Dear friends,

After nearly a year of tests, a failed surgery and many stumped doctors, we have come to the only thing left to do, remove part of my colon. It seems radical, but I have no alternative. I can’t continue to live as I am. My colon, or at least part of it has stopped working for no apparent reason. I’m in continuous pain, can’t have bowel movements and everything “backs up” causing constant nausea, vomiting and bile reflux which is eroding my esophagus.

The surgery is scheduled for 12:30 Monday. There is a very slim chance that they will see the problem and be able to fix it. Otherwise, they will be removing about 60% of my colon starting on the right side and attaching the small intestine to what’s left. They tell me that after an adjustment period, I should do just fine with a much smaller colon. I will be in the hospital for 7-10 days and then not doing much for about a month after that.

Needless to say, I am not looking forward to yet another terrible surgery, but if it will give me back my life, (what was left of it) I simply must do it. Please add us to your prayers, that this surgery will be successful and that I will have the strength to get through it.

Please hold all “forward” emails for at least a couple of weeks. I will try to get an email out as soon as I am able.

Brion

if you should happen to have any contact with him, please give him and Nancy our love and let them know they remain always in our thoughts and prayers

You're welcome, but I am not in any more luck than you guys are with the updates. My mailbox at home has been empty since that post he made in April.

Talking to Brion on phone right now. Will update later!

Okay, I just got off the phone with him. I am ecstatic that he called. He has really had a difficult time recovering.

I gave him the link to here and hope to hear from him real soon.

Julie
