Bobby: Prayers and Love for a Warrior

Bobby: Prayers and Love for a Warrior A Journey through Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Cancer. To reach family, friends and the public and show He has always been very active, strong and fit.

Bobby, husband, father and Papa to six beautiful grandchildren is a proud Veteran of the United States Air Force and currently a Texas Department of Criminal Justice Correctional Officer IV with the Rudd Unit in Brownfield. After losing his brother to a sudden heart attack in December of 2016, I kept encouraging him to get a complete check up. In November of 2016 he was diagnosed with a blockage i

n the right coronary artery and a stent was placed. For about two weeks he was more energetic and feeling good. Then he started getting fatigued easily, shortness of breath, dizziness and headaches. He was admitted into the hospital on January 5, 2017 for severe anemia. His hemoglobin was 5.7 and received 3 blood transfusions. On January 7, 2017 he had an endoscopy of the upper GI where they found a large bleeding tumor at the junction of his esophagus and stomach. He was diagnosed with Esophageal Adenocarcinoma. January 16th, he had a PET scan that revealed not only did he have the esophageal tumor but he also had a tumor in a lymph node between his kidneys, which then made him Stage 4 in the cancer staging. Aggressive chemo treatments were started January 23, 2017 and he will eventually have radiation added to the regime and then hopefully it will reduce down and he will be able to have surgery at MD Anderson in Houston. Update September 5, 2020
Bobby had to do an early retirement and go on disability in 2019. He was put on Hospice in February 2019 with only 2 weeks at most for life expectancy. After the 1st week he went into respite care for 5 days and during that time his mind started clearing, he started eating and eventually was returning to normal. He was taken off Hospice in July 2019 after only being on it for 5 months. He resumed immunotherapy and has done very well. The tumor did grow to the point he couldn't eat so a stent was placed and it didn't stay in. March 2020 he had lost down to 135 lbs. They put in another stent as well as a PEG. The stent stayed in place and he has been able to eat and so far hasn't had to use the PEG. As of August 2020 he has gained his weight back up to 185 lbs and looking much more healthy. He is gaining strength and he is a true miracle. He wouldn't be here if it wasn't for our amazing prayer warriors.

You gained your wings and went to your Heavenly home 2 yrs ago after a long, hard fought battle. In the end you won. You showed so many people what courage looks like and taught them what faith is. You inspired so many people by your faith, and never giving up hope. You knew in your heart that you would be called "home" but you wanted to be sure your family was ok before you made that journey. Nothing here on earth can compare to the happiness you get to experience everyday. We know you loved your family and would have stayed if you could. I know you are watching over all your loved ones and if you could send them a message, I truly believe this song sums up what you would say.
Rest in Peace and keep watching over your family, your amazing legacy lives on. 🙌❤️

Missing you more today than yesterday!! Love you forever ❤

I stood by your bed last night; I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many things and memories of me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my hand on you; I smiled and said, "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to me.
