Hi Folks....
As most of you already know, Paris's darling husband is battling Lymphoma, and has been struggling....
He's in the Intensive Care Unit at Duke right now... Became incoherant and unresponsive earlier today... Poor man has a fever, low BP, and a blood clot in his leg... There also appears to be new leisions...
Please remember Paris, Barry, and their entire family in your prayers.... And even if you don't pray, keep them in your thoughts...
We all know what a diamond Paris is..There can't be one of us on here who hasn't benefited from her wit and wisdom over the years we've battled this dammed disease... She doesn't deserve this....
Love to all...
Darth....

New to the forum.. but have read a lot and learned a ton from Paris and others.. Hubby and I will be praying for them. No doubt that she is special to take the time to share while enduring her own battle. Blessings

I think about Paris and Barry every single day and have done for weeks now. I don't know what God has in mind for them, but I hope He will be merciful and keep them from suffering so much for so long.
Don't y'all feel so helpless? I know I do. I so wish there was something more we could all do for them. :'(

Keeping them in my thoughts and prayers :grouphug; :grouphug; :grouphug;
-
My thoughts and prayers for paris and her family :grouphug;
-
I am praying also - very hard for Paris and her husband .
-
Yes, I feel TOTALLY helpless...
Appearantly Barry's still struggling... They need to do a procedure to prevent a leg clot from migrating, but they're reluctant to intubate him as he also has pneumonia... They're hoping to be able to avoid intubating...
Please keep Barry, Paris and family in your thoughts, and let's storm Heaven with our prayers.....
Oh and tell someone you love them today... We don't always have tomorrow to do it!....
May God bless and protect you all....
Darth...

I am surrounding them with love and light ... many many prayers

Add my prayers to every one else s.

Offering prayers for healing, prayers for strength, prayers for peace.

Folks...
I'm afraid the news as I can gather it is not good.... I've copied this from Paris's FB Page... As always, she has put it far better than I ever could....
'Please pray for acceptance. The doctor had the "talk" with Barry and I. Barry understands the gravity of his situation. Kidneys - liver-lungs- and heart all have some damage. Kidneys are shutting down. Breathing is difficult. The lungs have tumors and holding fluid. The kids and I are holding on to each other and clinging on to hope. Barry is not in pain and understands when we talk to him. It is very hard for him to talk. He is being kept comfortable. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. We all need them'.
Let's bombard Heaven... God know Liz, Barry, and their family need and richly deserve every prayer and good wish that they can get right now...
Love to all...
Darth...

Will keep them in my prayers!

I'm so sorry this is happening to Paris and her family. I will keep them in my thoughts and i wish them the best. :grouphug; :grouphug;

Nothing I can say or do will help in anyway. It hurts to have this happen to such a couple as these two. God be with you all during this time. Its never easy, is it? One never knows what to say or do in situations like these.
But I do know that they are a family of Faith, and that will see them through this.
Know that You are loved deeply here Paris & Barry. We are your family and we have all been praying for Barry, and of course the whole family.
God Bless you all,

We support you Paris in every way. We love you and are here if you need us. :grouphug;

Just spoke briefly on FB to Liz's sister, Jill... They're leaving now to be with Liz, Barry, and their family... I believe Barry's sister and brother are already with the immediate family at Barry's bedside....
This is what Jill posted on her FB page a few minutes ago....
'Elizabeth and their children are at Barry's bedside all day today. Please pray for peace and God's surrounding arms and love. It's such a sad time for us all'.
Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers...
I'll update as I hear more...
God bless everyone...
Darth...
-
Spoke with Liz's sister again....
Yesterday, the doctors told Liz and their daughter, Beth to 'prepare'...
Thankfully, Barry is in no pain, and fully understands the gravity of the situation... He wants no extreme measures taken....
Please pray for peace for this brave family....
Love to all...
Darth...

Why does this have to happen to such good people? I suppose, I shouldnt put it like that, as no one deserves to go through that...

Darth...
God looked around His garden And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered "Peace be thine".

This is from Paris's Facebook:
"Yesterday, pain ended for my sweet husband and the pain began for our family. No one could write a better exit than what we experienced. All 4 kids, 2 dear friends, daughter in laws, David and Hatem, and Rev. Allen surrounded Barry, holding hands as Rev. Allen prayed lovely words about Barry and his homecoming. I layed my hand on Barry's chest most of the last 5 days and when his breathing was very slow, I tapped my fingers on his chest, waiting for each next breath. About half way through the prayer, I didn't feel his breathe, so I tapped gently waiting for the gasp. At the end of the prayer, the nurse stepped in and said he is gone. I knew already. But how many of us will take our last breathe while being prayed into Heaven? No more suffering. This has been a very fast journey and we were just beginning to comprehend how sick he was. He and I have been on a wonderful trip through life ---- 45 years and 1 month of marriage. It was a good life, a happy life. Memorial service will be Friday - more details will follow. I don't know how to do this; I'm getting through hour by hour. Thank goodness for my kids and grandkids, although, they are all devistated, too. The Lord is my shepard, I shall not want......."
