Let's all pray for Brian's (BLT's) mom

Most of you know who Brian (BLT) is and some don't. For those of you who don't know BLT is he is the STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER here at MBWorld. He has always came out to the meets and volunteered to take pics. He is a great guy with a kind heart.

Unfortunately his mother is not doing well. She recently had a life threatening surgery and today she has suffered a brain aneurism and doctors said it's not looking too good. BUT we MB guys don't give up that easy.

Let us take some time and pray for Brian's mom.

https://mbworld.org/forums/members/90792-blt.html

Let us pray so Brian and his mom can continue taking pictures like this.





Our prayers are with you Brian!!

Thanks for being there for him Ryan

His exact words

"I'm appealing to everyone to please pray for my Mum. She has suffered a brain annuerism and has been rushed to the hospital by an ambulance.

Her condition is bad and doctors are not sure if she'll make it."

God Bless you and your Mom. I pray for you to have strength for your family in this time of worry and concern. I lost my Mom 5 years ago to a brain aneurysm and I was the last one to see her after we took her off the respirator. She wasn't living...the only thing keeping her alive was the respirator.

I hope and pray it hasn't gotten to that point and they have gotten to her before the worst has happened. My heart goes out to you and the family.

Jon

Thanks everyone for your support and prayers. This means a lot for Brian and also for his friends and family.

Here is an update

UPDATE: Mum is undergoing a second operation tomorrow to fix the brain aneurysm that burst. The chances of her surviving are 50-50. Please pray for us. It's just my dad and me and we need all the support we can get. Thanks.

Brian I don't know you but it makes me sad to hear about this. My thoughts and prayers go out to your mom, you and your family. I hope for the best. All I would say is spend as much time with her as you can and enjoy every moment you have. I lost my grandfather to lung cancer 2 years ago and was unable to see him before he died, he lived overseas in Bosnia.

Never give up hope!

Well everyone, I don't know what else to say. Brian's mom has been in a coma for more than a week and this was posted on his Facebook wall 8 hours ago. Still no update but it doesn't sound too good.

in a few moments, I will be making one of the toughest decisions of my life
For the people who showed support and prayed for Brian's mom, thank you. Let's just hope for the best.

OMG I can't believe it!!!! I'm sooo sorry Brian!!!
Man, soo unbelievable. I'm shedding some right now. No words to describe how I feel for Brian right now

I love with all my heart, all my soul, and with every fiber of my being Serene Lee Tan. You've been the greatest Mum, the bestest friend, and the most phenomenal human being that ever walked the face of this earth. I will miss you so damn much and will do my best to honor you in anything and everything that I do.
Rest In Peace. 1958 - 2011, 4:20 AM.
