Sax sent me a PM this afternoon and wanted me to update folks on the forum, as he doesn't feel well enough to sit up and type for long.
He says that things aren't going well with his kidney transplant. His body is rejecting the new kidney and he's in failure again ... and that his lab results are "down where they should be up and up where they should be down." He's had to have a blood transfusion and lots and lots of tests. His body is wearing down and he's tired and unable to do much for himself, which is a stress he's not used to. He's currently home from the hospital, but is on standby to get called back at any time.
As most of you know, Sax is a Christian and accepts God's will in this, whatever that might be. His faith remains strong and he says he is ready to go home if he can't get well, without sadness and ready to meet his Lord ... but he's not about to give up. He want's God's will to be done.
He wants to thank all of you on the forum for your continued support and encouragement and especially thanks Boo, Ray Daughety, Matthias 72, Polecat, Droptine and Andre LeBlanc for checking in on him so regularly. He appreciates all of your prayers and friendship. He believes you're "the best."
Sax says that if he can't hunt this season that he'd like to send his brand-new Equinox (never even fired) to some deserving person who can't afford one so that they can use it while he can't ... better to loan it than for it to sit idle! If anyone knows a suitable recipient, let him know.
On behalf of our friend Saxman,
Adam
PS: This is the time to keep lifting up prayers and pouring on support, guys! It really makes a difference, as Sax has said. You are the best!
As a fellow kidney transplant recipient and also a Christian, I will DEFINITELY keep Saxman in my prayers.
I nearly lost my transplant last year due to an infection, and the continued support & prayers of my family & friends helped tremendously.
The God given skill of transplant doctors (and related medical people) is amazing and he shouldn't give up hope on the kidney just yet (it sounds like ehe hasn't).
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
Prayers have been sent up for you brother. May the Lord bless him.
Stay strong Sax. God works in mysterious ways. He will do whats best. Have faith in him and in yourself. I'm sure I don't have to tell you though. You are a great man. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers. Thanks for thinking of us and thanks to grizz for the update.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day anywhere else.
Upon reading this current update on Sax I was saddened but quickly expeirenced joy in knowing he has the true gift of love,his family at his side daily to stand strong and firm with him.
