Sometimes things really suck a whole lot

And there is nothing that can be done about it.

My 1st cousin was pregnant with twins. One of the twins died when she was 6 months pregnant. She carried the other twin and had to be placed on complete bed rest in the hospital for the last 3 months of her pregnancy. She went into labor and had the baby 1 month premature. The baby's lungs weren't fully developed when he was born, I heard this is a common thing with premature babies. He remained in the hospital for 2 months for them to do what they do with babies in his condition. She finally got to take him home under the orders that she keep him on oxygen 24/7. During the month she had him a home he had to be rushed back to the hospital several times because he stopped breathing. He had to be rushed to the hospital on this past Friday because he stopped breathing once again. But this time his condition was much worse than before. His condition continued to decline and they had to place him in an induced coma. They gave him all kinds of medicine & even a blood transfusion, but nothing worked. What he really needed was a lung transplant but there hasn't been a match for him.

I got a call this morning from my aunt, she said they ran all the tests they could run and informed my cousin that all his organs had shut down and he was brain dead. They needed her to make a decision. She decided to have the pastor come and baptize him and he would be pulled off the breathing machine at 10 am.

Poor little guy fought the good fight for 3 months. He has finished the race. I guess some things just aren't meant to be.

Please keep our family in your thoughts & prayers.

I'm truly amazed at how her attitude has been with everything she's been through. I just don't think I could be as strong as she has been. I'm at a loss for words too. I don't think anything can be said for this kind of thing. I didn't post this on Facebook out of respect for my family and I don't think people should post this kind of thing on FB anyway. I almost didn't post it here but I felt like the more people I could get to pray for her the better off she will be.

Praying for the family.

My wife and I lost twin girls at 24 weeks. One stillborn and the 2nd girl died about 5 minutes after birth. It's a horrifying ordeal in that delivery room and you have all the hope in the world, but sometimes it's just not in our hands.

Don't forget the dad...he sometimes is.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
