Please say a prayer for my bro with MS (5'11" 166 lbs) who has lost 7 more lbs in 1 week & looks
very thin and starting to appear frail in his face and arms (he's early 40's). He's lost 18 pounds since 12/22. He weighed 225 in April of last year, and they told him he had to lose weight so he's went gung-ho eating extremely healthy, but when his weight started to get so low that everyone in his MS group started asking if he was alright, then our family saw him and asked me if he's alright, then he mentioned he's concerned about his weight loss, I started being concerned.

I told him a week ago to start eating more robust foods with some fat in them, and he said he's also been snacking this week since our Mom is with him visiting this week, and she has snacks about, and he said he was pretty certain he had gained weight, but when he went to weigh himself he had lost 7 pounds since last week as I mentioned.

The one oncologist visist he had a month ago said nothing about his test results because he "only" had low white cell count and nothing else to go with it to alarm the doctor, and since he's been walking stairs a half hour a day pretty much every day and eating healthy they weren't concerned with that low count.

He is going again tomorrow, and I ask those of faith kindly to pray for him, we call him our Ace and he is a very very giving and loving human being who doesn't argue and through his progressive MS has been very brave for several years.

Thank you and God bless us all.

1. My prayers are with you and your brother.
This must be a very frightening time for all of you. I hope you feel lifted up by all the prayers here (not everybody posts, but a LOT of people check in here all the time). :hug:
