All About Pocket Knives

I'm at the ICU with my dad. He is a kidney recipient, but due to some infections, that kidney is failing. If they can't get it working again, we have decided not to do any dialysis. If that happens, it's just a matter of time...

We could use a few prayers, thanks.

I'm very sorry to learn this. Prayers on the way.

Prayers sent. Keep us posted. ____Dave

Will do, Glenn.

Sorry to hear about this Glenn. You got em.

Very sorry to hear about your dad, Glenn.
God bless him and your family.

I am sorry to hear that Glenn. I will put him on my prayer list and put him on our prayer team list also.

God bless him and bring healing to him!

My prayers for your dad and family Glenn, that he will be healed. May the Lord strengthen and comfort you all.

Lost my mom to kidney failure - she refused dialysis.

I'm praying for you all Glenn.

Hoping for the best Glenn!!! HOPING!!!!!

Godspeed Glenn

You've got brother, hoping and praying that things go in his favor, may God bless your family in this time of need.

Glenn, we will all be thinking about you and praying for your father. You've got brothers here.

Thoughts and prayers for your father Glen...

Oh man Glenn, that is rough. So sorry you all are having to go through this. Prayers incoming for your father and your family...

...I missed this too, glenn..prayers sent!!..... .........

I'm not going to be overly optimistic, but my dad's kidney has started working again, and seems to be doing it's job. However, there is a lot to be worried about still. If he can't take in fluids on his own, he will continue to decline. And if he recovers, he will still have to be treated for what we think caused all the damage, called wegeners granulamotosis. This almost killed him back in the 80's, and he tested positive for it. I'm not sure if he is strong enough to get through the treatment, though.

I'm grateful for all the prayers and thoughts, they do seem to be working.

Trust in His plan Glenn and your family will find their way. I will continue to keep all of your family in my daily prayers, God Bless.

Praying for your dad Glenn,and you also.

We have taken him off of the antibiotics. His breathing has become tougher due to water surrounding his lungs.

Not sure how much more time he has. We are just making him comfortable now.

Thank you for your prayers and thoughts. They are comforting to our family.

Glenn, when you first posted this about your father, I went to my knife roll and got out the little Eye Brand whittler that my daddy gave me years ago and thatbyou rehandled for me. I've carried and/or left it here on my man table in the living room ever sense to remind me to pray for your daddy and for you.

Hang in there.

I did the same thing Colonel - Glenn recently returned 3 knives that were in his shop for some time and the Remington Scout has been in my pocket since the news of his dad surfaced. At times we all need reminders that life is precious.

Thanks guys. I am proud of all the knives I work on, but the ones I do related to family or that are special to people really mean a lot to me also. They are reminders of memories, and can bring them up when we sometimes forget them.
