Da zookenstien is pissed off!!!

bamabassman · 06-21-10, 05:32 PM

first of all PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY!! HE is our LORD and SAVIOR!!

now............i JUST got off the phone with ZOOKER'S brother, wife and sister.
HE HAS DONE A COMPLETE 180 DEGREE TURNAROUND!
seems the doctors used a new experimental drug on ol Zookie. and it is what made him so sick and almost doen our brother in.
he is now getting stronger and was quoted as being so very pissed off. (a fantastic sign.) cursed out the doctors fro trying the new treatmen without him knowing it (i think). his blood pressure in at this moment 109 over 78 (great!). and they are weening him off the blood pressure meds and oxygen. he was asked if he wanted to stop treatment completly, he said NO! he wanted to continue the regular treatment he was on to the end. the aml will eventualy win. but it could take YEARS, months or weeks, even days. but he is FIGHTING THIS TO THE END. (that's my brother!)
he may get moved from the 2nd floor to the 9th floor later today or even tomorrow. but as soon as he is on the 9th floor, he will log on gang.
i was told he just about sat up all of a sudden, calle dhis mom into the room. said he wanted his cell phone, computer and FOOD. then when the docotr came in he told the said docotr "if had the strength, i would knock the @#$%^ outta you!" so keep on with the cheers and prayers gang! THIS IS WORKING! i told his brother to tell him everyone said to keep up the fight, and he said he would NEVER STOP. right now i am so happy i am probably orgetting everything i was told so bear with me. as i remember i will tell you all.
to tell the truth, i expect a call in a couple of days for da ZOOKER hisself! so thans gang, and keep on praying!!!

John, that tells me all I need to know right there. Fantastic news!

MississippiBoy · 06-21-10, 05:45 PM

Amen, brother. Way to fight, Zook...

WTL · 06-21-10, 05:47 PM

Great news!

BigBassin144 · 06-21-10, 05:47 PM

Thank God, that is wonderful news!

I do believe he knew it was an experimental drug.

So glad to hear that he's doing better!

carolina-rig-01 · 06-21-10, 05:53 PM

The best news I have had all day! I got goosebumps when I read it. Thank you so much for keeping us all up to date on the big fella. One thing that I would like to say is, they shouldn't be so quick to say that the AML will eventually win. I have been reading up on it and there is a 23.4% survival rate overall for AML. The odds are a lot greater for children but there is certainly a chance that Zooker can beat this stuff.

keithdog · 06-21-10, 05:56 PM

Best news I've heard in weeks. Praise God. I just knew he wasnt done with his yak yet!

Jim80 · 06-21-10, 06:05 PM

That is amazing John , best news I heard all day man thanks for the update

I told John this story the other day, and thought I'd share it with the rest of you.

A girl that grew up in my church was diagnosed with AML a few years back. She was in much the same situation as Zooker, chemo, radiation, all of that. She had many ups and downs, the lowest point being in May or June of one year. They had to biopsy her liver to see if the cancer had spread there. With her platelets, white blood cells, and everything else so low, her blood wouldn't clot. She almost bled out through her liver from the tiny little pinprick of tissue the doctors took to test. At one point, she had no heartbeat, ZERO blood pressure.

That December, she was dancing in our church's Christmas program. Right now, I think 5 or 6 years later, she's in Maastricht, the Netherlands, studying for a college class. AML is NOT a death sentence...

That is a great story Daniel. Thanks for sharing because I think Zooker needs to read this when he logs on. You hear that big guy? Here in a few days you will be logging on to see what we are all up to and I know you are reading this, so pay a lot of attention to what Daniel and I are saying. It is very beatable, just don't give up and I know you won't because you have already promised us all that you will never give up.

Thanks for the best news of the day Bama! Fight on Zook, fight on!

bamabassman · 06-21-10, 10:37 PM

ok gang. there is something i have GOT to say here. everyone is praising ME for helping our brother zooker. well........i have to say that in no way was it me. IT WAS LISA who did most of the looking after Zooker. she stayed with him while i was at work. looked after him during the night while i slept. LISA deserves most of the credit. NOT ME. i did what the boss told me to do, haha.

so......to MRS BAMABASSMAN...............I LOVE YOU BABY! if not for oyu, my brother may not have made it home. thank you so very much.

NOW. back to your reguler programming. lol.

yes, i am VERY happy right now. i am looking forward to hearing the ol man growl pretty soon.

carolina-rig-01 · 06-21-10, 11:03 PM

John and Lisa you both are special people. It's uncommon anymore to find people who would go the distance like you guys did to take care of someone, friend or not. I am very proud to call you guys friends, and you both have given me a lot of hope for mankind. Thank you both for being the kind of people you are!
