Prayers and thoughts for Jcarring99 - 01/30/20 02:57 AM
As some of you know and some don’t Jcarring99 is my BIL. Joel Carrington is his name. Joel went to have impacted wisdom teeth cut out before Thanksgiving. His oral surgeon shocked him after the surgery and told him he had cancer in his jaw and should see a cancer Dr. immediately. Sure enough he goes and was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer in his jaw. He was admitted into the hospital yesterday to have a feeding tube put in. He underwent surgery this morning to remove his jaw. It went well as possible. He will be in ICU the next 3-5 days.
Upon leaving the ICU he will undergo surgery to remove bone from his fibula to reconstruct his jaw with that bone. He is expected to be in the hospital 15-17 days. Joel and his wife have 2 boys a Jr. and Fresh. at Arlington HS. If you’d like to keep up with what’s going on with him you can go to my wife’s Facebook page (Beverly Harkness) and they have something called CaringBridge. A HS friend of his has also set up a GoFundMe page. His dental implants and Pet Scans aren’t covered by insurance. He will be out of work for a while and if you’d like to help feel free to donate. He’s going to kill me for posting this because he’s very secretive and too proud to accept money but he’s going to need it.
Please pray if you do so and send good thoughts to the Carrington family.
Thanks a bunch,
Keith Harkness
Sorry I posted in the Crappie section. I moved it to the OT.
