Prayers for Rhett

Posted by Kaye ‘63 on November 11, 2024, 2:06 pm

Rhett Michell is in the hospital undergoing tests. He has been suffering from back pain for a few weeks and recently took a fall which landed him in ER. He was later admitted to, I think, the Ocean Springs hospital for further work up. Please be in prayer for Rhett and his family.

So sorry to hear about his diagnosis but it's a good thing that they found it while it's still treatable. Prayers for Rhett, Stan, and Mitch. I'll never forget a concert at the middle school when Mitch was playing trumpet. Stan made his way to the steps in front of the stage, sat down on the bottom step and slowly eased his way up the steps while seated. I think he was under Mrs. Willie Mae's charge! lol

Update on Rhett

Fortunately, no severe injuries were found from the fall itself; however, the doctors saw something that led them to suspect cancer. After further investigations led to scans and biopsies, he was diagnosed with lung cancer with possible spread to his spine. The plan is to transfer Rhett from Ocean Springs Hospital to USA Hospital in Mobile where he will undergo surgery to stabilize his spine. Following that procedure, he will begin chemo to treat lungs. He has three lesions on his spine which can be treated with radiation. Rhett is comfortable with this treatment plan and anxious to get started. He is thankful for your prayers and asks that they continue as he embarks on this challenge.

Good to hear his spirits are up and he's encouraged by the treatment plan. Continued prayers.

Prayers for Rhett up. The Mitchell's were our next door neighbors when I lived in Forest 50 years ago. I used to babysit sons Stan and Mitch though I was barely older than they were. Rhett and his late wife Pat were good folks and neighbors.
