Hello Members and Friends of the Association,
Update On My Daughter’s Condition
To my Special Forces & Airborne Brothers,
I appreciate the love & concern each of you have given my family, as my daughter fights cancer. Words cannot
express our gratitude. I would like to thank everyone who has been praying for Tracye,
Yesterday I received the below update from my daughter, Tracye is still in Baptist hospital. She is a fighter & will never give up.
Thanks,
William H. “Bill “ Eades Jr.
Dear Dad and friends,
A lot has been going on; I've been in Hospital since August. The cancer tumors spread to my small intestine and shut my tummy off so I was starving.
They went in with 2 surgeries and put bypasses around so I can eat. Just when we were getting that under control, my liver was failing because the drains
were blocked, so I had 2 more surgeries to put in external bags. I'm in amazing amounts of pain but hopefully the right path!
If my liver is functioning I can resume chemo and get it on the run again. I'm getting toward my end but I’m determined to fight for this life till I can't.
Thank you for supporting me!
Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers during this difficult time I love you all and feel the love. Please know it brings comfort.
With love
Joe Pruett on behalf of
Ed Pijuan
