All Of Our Prayers NEEDED NOW,For Harley Bob's Family

[flybinder]

As many of you know, one of our family is currently in Portland,Ore. with his son Robert,so Robert can have a life saving operation to reduce and reverse his extreme weight gain.
"HarleyBob" has posted, here also, about whoever at FAOL cares to, could and would, pray for his son.
I was extremely fortunate, today, to drive from here on the coast, up to Portland and spend the day with "HarleyBob". Not only to meet, Bob but to also let him know "He's not alone in the fight he's currently facing".
We had a good day..... spent a long time at my local fly shop, went to lunch with a few "questionable men of ill reputations", (namely other fly fishers) and just basically "talked about what lies ahead for Bob and his family after the surgery".

However, I also learned today, something that has made me post this request for even more prayers and well wishes, for HarleyBob, his son-Robert and the rest of his family............................
Bob's son goes into surgery tomorrow morning at 10:00AM West Coast time.
Where ALL of our prayers, are now so urgently needed, is because of the risks involved in this extremely dangerous surgery.
Due to severe blood clotting, already present in his lower legs, Bob's son is facing the dangerous odds of "an 20% chance of making it through this surgery". Obviously, that leaves Bob and his family, with the terribly poor odds of "an 80% chance, his son will not survive the operation"

When I learned this, from Bob I asked his permission to post this information, here, on the BB for the FAOL family to be aware of.
He readily agreed.
So, whether "up late tonight still", or, "checking in here, before going to work tomorrow", anyone that would care to, please say a prayer for Bob, his son and his family.


I'm sorry, I did not add this,earlier................. Bob has me on his "call list, after the surgery", so I WILL post the outcome of the surgery as soon as I hear from Bob, tomorrow.

I knew something was telling me to get back up out of bed and check this website. Harleybob and family I will be praying for your son in only a few moments. I think it was why I was to come here. No fooling around....back to bed. I will be thinking of you and yours. It is my hope and prayer it all goes well.....and that the spirit wind blows you down the path to handle it and give you strength.

I will ask for nothing less than the best for Harleybob's Bob.

Seriously Sincerely
