Suhs!

It is my distinct pleasure to have my son Jack, serving with me - as my unofficial "Batman" - in the Army of Georgia.

My trusty beloved Sergeant, "enrolled" 5 & 1/2 years ago, soon after his Papa enlisted with the AoG.

Sadly, I received confirmation on the 29th Sept, that he had been stricken with one of the many "Camp Malaises" that afflict us all, during Our Grand Campaign here on Earth.

In short, my Beautiful Boy has Leukemia.

As a result . . . .would those that can, in the AoG, please assign me to Hospital duties.

And if I could beg a boon from one 'n' all . . . .

Once in a while, whichever God Y'all talk to,drop a quite supplication in his ear, for any assistance or aid, He can send my Jack's Way.

Thanks Chaps . . . I'll gallop back to hereabouts, whenever I can and will get back to fightin' with Y'all as soon as things stabilise on the Home Front.

God Bless Y'all. [;)]

Pat.

I'm truly sorry to hear this news. You, Jack, and the rest of your family will definitely be in my thoughts and my prayers during this struggle.

Take care, and God bless you too, Pat.

Pat,

The AoG will not be the same in your absence. I look forward to you and your boy's return to the field and to share a Jameson with you.

Pat,

We have never met but I feel I must respond to the news you shared with us. I have battled three different cancers in the last 28 years. Very trying times are just ahead. Get to know your enemy, find out all you can about it.
Take a notebook every time you visit with the doctors and take notes. You won’t remember what they tell you. Get the exact name, type and stage of the Leukemia so you can research treatments. The more you understand the easier it is to make decisions.
Keep a journal especially after treatments start. My treatment was a combination of drugs. Each chemo treatment would be a different drug After I would have a treatment the doctors would ask how it affected me. I got to the point I could tell them how many hours I slept, how long it took to have upset stomach, aches and pains etc. It took me several treatments to figure out the fourth day after treatment was my worse.
Let your friends and your church help support you. Something this heavy needs lots of shoulders to share the load.
A lot of folks in Oklahoma will be praying for your family and young Jack.

Pat,

It saddens me to hear about the condition that your son is in, will be praying for Jack and your family during my family's nightly Rosary and will have some Masses said for Jack at St. Marks Catholic church which I attend. God Bless

<font face="Book Antiqua"><font size="4">Pat,

Truly this is a tough call to have to make at such a young age. Remarkable things are happening in the field of medicine plus the miracle of faith goes a long way too!

The Army of Georgia will always hold a position open for your return.

All the very best for Jack and your family!

Pat,

I'm shocked. After meeting you and your son I just can't imagine this happening to you.

My prayers are with you and your family.

God bless.

Gentlemen: I just spoke to Pat by phone. He told me that Jack was doing well and that their doctor told them the recovery from the type of Leukemia Jack has is extremely good. This news has given Siobhan and Pat great cause for hope. Pat assured me that he will return to action when he can and that he thanked all for their thoughts and prayers.
