johnf Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 I have a good friend who's dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1981. I watched him in the ealy and mid 80's start to shake a little and have a little trouble speaking. He was a very athletic man who was about 6' and weighed probibly about 200lbs. After we graduated from high school in '87 he began to worsen, was no longer able to drive and talking to him was becoming more and more difficult. By the time I graduated from college he was almost completely incoherent and could only walk on good days, which came once or twice a month. Now 24 years after finding out he had this terrible desease he has been unable to speak for months, or move on his own for several years and wieghs about 75lbs. My friend Jonny went to see him at the veteren's hospital this weekend and he spoke for the first time since Christmas. He told my friend that he was "ready to go home". Jonny asked him if he wanted to go back with him and he said "No, I'm ready to go home with Jesus". My prayer request is this. Jonny Wayne Hammond Sr. of the Little Rock Veteren's hospital is ready to go home. Please pray that he does it peacefully and soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuntingInMaine Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 Re: Strange prayer request. My grandmother has Parkinson's also and it's a terrible thing to watch how this ravages a person's body. I pray that this man peacefully passes so he can go home and suffer no more.
