Requesting prayers to lift up my brother Michael Gray who has in the past few years been through a 2 l/2 inch ruptured esophagus where he had to have extensive surgery to insert a sleeve to help it heal and thoracic surgery to recovered the necrotic tissue that exploded and wrapped around his heart and throat area and has had a feeding tube sense. After his immune system was compromised from this life threatening situation he got tonsil and throat cancer, had radical cancer surgery over 100 staples under his jaw line, the 33 radiation treatments along with chemo every Monday and was in a assistant living rehab facility until June 2018 and now living in the basement of my parents home at the age of 61. His Mom and Dad allowed him to come home based on the fact he at that time could take care of himself but since then it has been down hill. He doesn't take his medications the way he should or feed his body the nourishment he needs to sustain it and now he is so weak that he can't walk ten feet without falling out because he has significant emphysema and relies on oxygen and his muscles are too weak. Unfortunately all his health problems have been from his addictions of alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes and as soon as he got to the rehab facility from the hospital operation he starting smoking again during his 33 radiation and chemo treatments with his immune system being overloaded. He got cancer again in his right lung from smoking but with today's treatment a laser vaporized it. He has been cancer free but now dying from advance emphysema caused by smoking and malnutrition. He looks like a concentration camp refugee where you can see him being nothing but skin and bones and his Mom can force him to eat, stop smoking, take his meds right, and exercise. He looks like he can die any moment and death knocking on his door. He can't even get up and go to the bathroom 10 feet away from him. I resent him from putting his 91 year old Mother through his selfishness and committing slow suicide when he had a chance to live and do everything he could to improve his health and get well again. You see an addict only thinks about himself and not any others that they inflict their pain on. For years now I have been helping them and watching Mike continue to be a self centered addict who doesn't care what he puts his family through. So I am praying for God's intervention to help my Mother and give her strength to witness her own son slowly commit a slow painful suicide and death from malnutrition or trying to catch his last breath. Either the Lord's intervention will give him an epithony to live or he will die a swift death and not let him drag this on for my Mother's sake she doesn't deserve this at the age of 91 nor my Father at the age of 94. They should be just focused on each other and the time they have left not my brother's medical crisis or death. In the name of my Father I pray for his intervention of what will be will be.
