THIS FRIDAY,my step dad is having a pain pump, medicially installed to his spine, for his Spasticity. This is necessary because if he doesn't get this, he will become parlayzed and not be able to sit or walk. There are a lot of side effects from the medication too, so this is no quick fix, it is just going to help him stay mobile as much and as long, as possible.
My mom will need extra prayers too throughout all this.

Reason: update the date change
I am thankful for my SSR Family that I can lean on and I know you will be there for me, this is not going to be easy to deal with, and it gets tougher each time I go see him,
my mom and Marshall (dad) got married 19 years ago, he is a great, grandpa to my kids and a great dad to me and my brothers.
my prayers are for comfort and for him to be as pain free as possilbe while dealing with this horrible illness.
