Post Date: 9/30/07 7:30 am Last Edit: 9/30/07 7:32 am This is Adam's ex brother in law and good friend Rick in the pics with Adam, Allison and Adams dad. Rick is the one that I've asked u all to pray for. They say its just a matter of time. He is in good spirits though. He seems to remember more than he used too and he talks about getting out of the nursing home/rehab place and going home to take care of himself.  He met us at the door when we got there. He kept saying how he's improving everyday and getting better and that broke my heart. When we asked the nurse if we could sign him out to take him to Mcdonalds and Walmart we asked her what he could have to eat (he's been on dialysis for yrs, he's been a bad diabetic for a long time) and she just shook her head and said he could have anything he wanted. She said that its just a matter of time, he's a walking time bomb according to them. I'm not sure exactly what this is called but theres a artery in his stomach that is clogged pretty bad. All his arteries are bad, brittle. I don't know. I do know that God can work miracles. He made a blind man to see, He made a lame man to walk. He saved me. If its His Will he could touch Rick and Rick would be made whole. I ask u all again to keep this sweet man in your prayers. The family has all but given up. The kids have asked Adam to be a pallbearer when Rick passes. Yesterday it just seemed impossible that he could be so bad. On a happier note, Adams aunt Rosie is recovering  (she had rectal cancer and has been thru chemo, radtiation and now surgery) and they say they got all the cancer. Thank God for that. It was a good day yesterday. I'm glad we spent time with Rosie and Rick both. It was just sad. He and Adam grew up together and it hurts. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers on this. Adam and Angela It was a long day yesterday. We got up at 8am. Drove down to Hopkinsville, saw Rosie, she was still in ICU. We drove up to Princeton (Adam got lost so we went the scenic route) spent a couple hours with Rick, drove back to Hopkinsville and spent time with Rosie. It was almost 1am when we got home and I'm  beat this morning, but it was worth it. I have to go back and copy and paste the pic, it'll show up in a few, hopefully.
