I am so sorry that the biopsy did not get done. This IS frustrating. I am happy for you that you can look forward to a family reunion and pray that their travels will be safe.

It seems I jumped the gun yesterday when I wrote to all of you. I was told by the prison all went well w/the biopsy on Jason. Jason phone late last PM. The biopsy was not done yesterday. He went to the prison physician at 11:30 as instructed; the doctor sent him back & told him he would call for him. They never called - so we don't know when his next appointment will be or if he'll get one? No one will tell him anything.

Have you ever felt desperate? Completely? I do! I pray so hard that my son will be transferred out of that place to a county facility closer to home where I know he'll get the medical treatment he needs. Four months ago he put in for a transfer - the head counselor told Jason he was now in the computer to be relocated. They lied to him - it was never entered. How we know this, I used to work for the County Tax Commissioner here in my county - who called the Warden here; he informed us it was never done. 2 1/2 weeks ago Jason requested another transfer -
Will all of this ever end? The boy has been locked up over 2 years now. For using drugs - METH. Jason is now clean & alive. I want to keep him that way. I don't know what else to do .... I'm lost. Painfully helpless.

The one joy this family has to look forward to ... Homecoming for Joel & Shannon; who have been in Japan for 3 yrs now. Relocating to Ft. Riley, KA. My 3 beautiful grandchildren; Emma, Ethan & Ezra. They will be spending 2 weeks w/us then off to Shannon's parents in VA. then Ft. Riley. Shannon has not seen her parents - almost 4 years. We are trying to get them here w/us when we meet our children at the airport on 12/3/06 at 8:45PM. I would love to suprise Shannon with her parents here when she gets off that plane. Ilove my daughter-in-law as my own. She's wonderful. David & I were fortunate enough to visit w/Joel in Japan for 3 weeks year /half ago. So having Shannon's parents here w/us on 12/3/06 would be extra special.
Joel has a 45 day leave to be w/family - then at the end of January, shipped back to Iraq. I don't want to think about it now!
I pray their journey home will be safe.

"It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35

Prayer is a gift. I want to thank each and everyone who prayed for my family; Jason Ryan & Joel.
We have to wait now for the results on Jason. He's relieved this part is over. I pray the Doctor finds nothing, but if they do - I'm praying the Dept. of Corrections will send him to a medical facility close to home. It's a 5 hour drive to see him. I can't go every weekend. I've going once a month. If Jason is sick - I will need to visit more often. I want to visit everyday.....

Thank you all for caring - I need the Lord so much right now. I'm grateful for this site. What peace it brings.

My gosh, I am new here also but I am so glad you found this forum. You are carrying much too big a burden alone and I believe this group can and will help you ease that load. I will light candles for Jason and Joel and keep you all in my prayers.

This Friday my son, Jason Ryan is to have a biopsy. Jason has a growth on the outside of his stomach; which is patchy /changing color. My concern is overwhelming for him. Jason is in prison for Meth. He went to the prison doctor 3 weeks ago, who dismissed it, saying it was nothing. I've prayed for an answer - I called the Warden myself this past Monday. Told him I wanted a 2nd opinion. Within 15 minutes time from that phone conversation, Jason had an appointment for the Biopsy. I'm scared; but greatful. I believe this has beome one of the worst times in my life. Afraid for both my sons. Older one in prison; the younger one, headed back to Iraq the end of January, 2007. I'm trying to be postive for both sons; strong for the family. Praying very hard for Jason to be moved closer to home; it's a 5 hour drive to visit him. Praying very hard for my son, Joel to remain strong, healthy; to come home to us safely.
Please all who read - pray for my boys. Bless you all!

Lord in Heaven, please hear my prayer;
Lord, place your hand upon all who suffer from addiction of some sort. The pain it causes, not only for the weak victims - but for the families. Lord, help us to help our loved ones. We are powerless over this problem and powerless over anyone's life but our own. Lord, I am asking for you to breath into their very souls, the gift of life; your light of hope. Giving these lost souls of temptation, courage to fight against their love of this addiction. All who are on this site, need your hand upon them. Help us, Lord Jesus to remain strong, patient, loving for those we're struggling with to help; this horrible disease of addiction, of drugs or alcoholism.
Lord Jesus in Heaven, please place your hand upon my son, Jason Ryan. Guide him through his pain; heal my son, mentally, physically, emotionally. Forgive all sins in this family. Jason is hurting; he needs the love and support of this family and close friends; help Jason's brother to commit to helping Jason through this horrible time in our lives. My son is sitting in prison, alive, for which I am thankful. Lord, it's has been a hard 15 months; very hard, but Jason is alive and his system is clean. He's getting the help he needs, in the school of hard knocks. This is not what I would have chosen for him, but I'm asking no questions. My Lord in heaven, you know my son, better than I. You have taken the bull by the horns and set him down; down hard. Thank you. I know Jason is the type of person, who has to see reality before he can accept the truth. He now sees the reality of his weakness. Lord, you slapped this young man in the face and answered all my prayers. I am so grateful. I ask that you still guide my words and actions so that I will say and do all I can to hasten recovery. Help me to also detach so that my son will admit the problem and keep seeking all the help that he needs. Heal him, Lord.
Sweet Jesus, guide Joel to his brother. Help them both to recapture that closeness they have shared growing up. Bring all of Joels' pain out into the open, so they can both heal. Help David & I to heal.
Lord, all who seek you, help them as you have us. Let them feel and know that help is on the way. I pray that we never lose faith in Your power and Your love for each one of us.
Lord, I ask this in Your name, Jesus, Amen.
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Ephesians 4:32
"I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God: in him will I trust." Psalms 91:2

Dear Lord in Heaven - hear my prayer:
Lord, Thou art a God of peace and desirest that we should live and let live. Thou lovest all mankind - not just a chosen few. I know Thou has sent Thy Son, Jesus, my Savior, into the world of sin to bring peace on earth. Yet the wickedness and selfishness of man has brought on wars and strife, death and destruction. Lord I beseech Thee, to touch the hearts of rulers/ leaders /Presidents / Prime Ministers; to have compassion that each may strive to maintain peace among the children of men.
Lord in Heaven, my son is getting ready to come back from Japan only to head back to Iraq. Please protect Joel, who is in the UNITED STATES ARMY. Grant that the faith which is in my son from his childhood to his adulthood, remains untouched; unshaken through the many temptations that will come his way. Help Joel to conquer all fears, discouragement, homesickness and doubt. Help him go grow as a wise leader to his men. Stand at his side every second of every hour of every day.
Lord, as I pray for my son, Joel, touch his heart w/my words; let him feel the presence of home, love, family. Let him pray w/me. We will be parted by many miles Lord, let our prayers meet at Thy throne of grace. Return my son unsullied in character, unshaken in faith, and ever Loyal to Thee, the eternal Caretaker of our lives. Bless Joel and his family, I ask this in Jesus' name, my Savior and Guide. Amen.
