This is Larry.Thank you for the love &prayers. I'm fighting to get better. The drs found a clot in my leg. I'm scared of it. Grant & Coco came to visit me. We watched the draft & Grant brought his Michigan football rings for me. I love Grant & Coco. l'll keep fighting. Love Larry
I'm having just a really rough day today. I have medical stuff that sometimes just makes me depressed. I've got so much complex medical stuff I was born with . I'm just so depressed. Sometimes I just really wish I was okay.
I always wanted to be a American Ninja warrior but I was sad for so long cuz my body couldn't do it. Now I can! Today I did my first competition! My body is getting stronger! I was scared & my heart was going fast! It was pretty sweet to do the tricks! Today was an awesome day!
Plz pray.
Larry was just taken to OR. Fluid in belly. Probably a leak. Pulling fluid out of lungs. Putting in chest tubes to lungs. PICC line after.
Opening up to find leak & repair.
Going back to ICU.
He is scared.
Please ask your people to pray for Larry Bear.
Thank you.
