Please keep Chance in your thoughts and prayers (1 Viewer)

I'll never forget how wonderful that video was that you posted of the hospital crew singing "Hit the Road Jack" to Chance as he left that hospital..and the joy on Chance's face. What a special, special soul and with all my being I pray that you somehow get some miraculous news. The words you just wrote above are very inspirational and words I'll take back to my own family.

God bless Chance and your family.

 
I haven't been able to read this thread without crying - the kind of crying where your throat aches because of the tears you're holding back.

That's not exactly any consolation to you, though, bb. But it's the best I can do to try to show you how impacted I, and the rest of the folks here, are with this news. I only know you from iReputation here, but I know you to be one of the best. I can only imagine that Chance is as great, if not better than you.

So, as paltry as they may be, please accept my thoughts and prayers. And please let any of us know what we can do to help you and your family.

 
What you wrote was absolutely beautiful, BB.

Hope you'll consider taking bentley up on his offer to contact the Texans. If that's what he does for a living, he might be able to provide a truly special day for Chance.

All the best.

 
BB, you are doing an incredible job. Remain strong and keep the faith and hope alive.

Praying for Chance to keep positively affecting everyone his life touches.

#### BB. Praying hard in the bentley house.

And if you'll PM me your name and cell # I will make it my mission to find someone at the Texans to get in touch with Chance by Monday.

Hope so. Honestly, I'm pretty drunk but:

- I'm pretty good about knowing people who know people

JJ Watt is a seriously awesome dude. I know he has done some stuff like this in the past. I'm sure not every request is able to be fulfilled, but I would bet something gets done.

 
We'll pray for Chance everyday. Have hope; miracles really do happen. It's not the end; like you said, love that boy and enjoy every moment you have with him. We will pray for your family, Chance, and god blessing you to beat the odds.

- Jim

 
Bless you and your family, BB.

I keep typing erasing retyping...I don't what to say. You're good people. I'm sure you'll create good memories with/for Chance in the coming days.

Hang in there, brother. You're inspirational, what you are going through and sharing this in such a genuine way.

Bless you.

 
"You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own." -- Quote

BB, as the speaker above suggested, don't underestimate the courage that Chance, yourself, and your wife have already shown through this ordeal. I won't suggest that hope alone is the answer, but also don't underestimate how the hope and strength that Chance has already can propel him forward in the face of these odds.

We'll all hope with you.

me too

This thread is one of the awesome things about this little community. For all the schtick, and incessant arguing, I think most people here are truly great people, who would save a stranger instead of a dog, and will rally behind those that want the support.

BB, I hope that if I ever have to face a similar situation, that I handle it with the grace and strength that you have shown to Chance and your family. We'll say an extra prayer this weekend that your family continue to receive the support it has.

 
"Perspective can often be an elusive thing, but once you find it (or it finds you), it is valuable beyond measure."

This so true BB. I have gone through a lot in the past few years, nothing like you are right now, but I have grown so much as a person and as a man. I truly pray that at the end of all of this, some day you can look back with that perspective you write about and find some sort of reason and peace where it all somehow and someway can make some sense to you and your family.

God bless brother.

Exactly. That was a terrific video. I pray that Chance remains comfortable during this difficult time. Truly heartbreaking. I'm sure you are cherishing every minute with him. I'm so so sorry BB
 
So sorry to hear this, BB. I can't imagine what your family is going through. My heart goes out to you and Chance. Wishing your family and Chance the best in comfort and strength.

 
I read the OP and BB's post from June 18 to my wife, and it was all I could do to finish. A lot of the post from June 18 really hit home, as we've been dealing with major health issues for my wife for the past 15 years. Yet, we still cannot truly imagine this situation.

BB, we are praying for Chance, you, and your family, as well as Chance's doctors, nurses, and caregivers.

 
BB - this is heart-wrenching. No words can come close to easing your pain though you see how your situation has moved a number of people here. Please stay strong and keep the faith. Really bad things happen to really good, courageous people. Health-wise, your son got dealt a horrible hand, but from a family, love and support perspective - he got a royal flush. it will be hard but enjoy the time you have with him and use his love and strength to help guide your choices for the rest of your life. That way he lives on.

 
Hey BB, I hope you find the strength within yourself to keep moving forward as hard as that is. I pray for Chance to continue right along side you. Stay positive and stay strong.

 
I'm pretty sure that BB has referred to his "boys" in the past in the context of his children. While of course my thoughts are with Chance and the entire family, there is a special place in my heart for Chance's sibling(s). I can't relate to what Chance is going through, or BB and his wife, but...

Thank you for sharing your story with this community, bb. You are truly one of the good ones. You and your son are so lucky to have each other.

I truly, truly love that his name is Chance.

 
So sorry to hear this update. I hope you all can take hope in how well he has beaten the odds to-date and that it will continue.

bb, this sucks.

I just hope Chance gets the same deal my grandma got... she was given 6 months to live with cancer at age 40, so she went on a bucket list vacation. Went back to the doctor about 6 months later and was given 6 months to live again, so she knocked off another item from the list... rinse, repeat, 6 months to live every time, for 34 years, by which time her bucket list was empty!

 
Wow...I just read the OP.

Being the father of two children reading this is very upsetting to me. I can only imagine what BB and his family are going through right now...my mind won`t even let me go there.

BB....all I can say is that I hope for the best outcome for you and your family.

My prayers are with you and your family. May Chance find himself surrounded by God's love and a peace that surpasses all our understanding.

 
This might be the first post in teh FFA that has legitimately brought me to tears.

I'm sorry you, your son, or anyone has to endure this type of painful journey.

Praying for a miracle

 
Any man can be a father but it takes someone special to be a dad.

You BB are a dad. You have and continue to give invaluable advice regarding being a dad. Even when you did not realize it, you have deeply touched others. My heart aches for you and your family. I am a praying man and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. If there is anything I can do for you do not hesitate to ask.

 
You know what, bb? #### all. Seriously. No more tears and whatnot - he's going to beat it. He is. I know it. It's a ####ty draw but no pity or sadness or DABDA or whatever. Stay strong. Keep fighting. Always keep fighting. Tell chance we are rooting for him. We know it's the fight of his life but he can do it. Every morning, close your eyes and pray for the strength to fight. Then open your eyes and go after it. We are with you.

 
I would have responded much sooner but I failed to read the thread until now for some reason.

BB, I think you're one of the best posters on this forum, which makes this all the sadder. I am so very sorry for your situation and wish Chance nothing but the very, very best. He is lucky to have parents like you. TPW to the maximum.

 
I've been sort of avoiding this thread because I suspected what was going to be inside.

I wish I had words that could help. My thoughts and prayers are with Chance and your whole family.

I was the same. I clicked on it a few days ago and seen the update. It wasn't until tonight I could go back in. I kept reading the posts hoping to hear a good news update.

I like what Abraham said above screw this crap fight the hell out of it. Chance has the strength to do it

 
Thoughts and prayers definitely your way. I'm so sorry to hear this. I couldn't even imagine the pain your son and your entire family is going through right now.
