Bill Little (My Dad)

[Aaron Little]

I just wanted to put a note up here about my father.

He had surgery Monday to relieve what was thought to be a bowl obstruction.

We found out today that it was to the best of my abilities to describe it the beginning of Colon Cancer.
They removed about 1 foot of his large intestine and about 1 foot of his small intestines and the tumor itself which was about 3.5"

They found some cancerous cells in his lymph nodes so they want to administer chemo therapy but not radiation.
The doctor seemed to be very positive about the situation and feels he will recover fine.

Dad is in room 1324 at Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst, NC.  Room # 910-715-1324

I am only posting this so that people know what is going on with him.

I talked with Bill earlier. He is doing OK and has a great outlook. I promised him a get well card with a necked gurl on it. He is looking froward to that. 

[Eric Viglione]

Thankfully it sounds like they found it in time. 
Give Pop's my best, and hope he's back in circulation soon.

[John Miller]

[Tom Niebuhr]

Aaron,
Wow, what a shock. Glad to hear Bill is doing good.

He is in our prayers.

We have been friends for a long time.  Tell him that is not the easy way to lose weight.

[John Tate]

Aaron,
Sounds like your dad got so good doctors down there. I wish your dad the best. Hope he recovers soon. We need him at the flying field keeping us in check.

[Clint Ormosen]

This is totally unaccepable. Bill has better things to do than be sick in the hospital. He has canopies to mold and planes to build.

Aaron, please wish him well from all of us. Glad to hear the Docs caught this when they did.

[Derek Barry]

I'm very sad to hear about Big Bear's troubles but I am very happy that he is doing well and everything looks hopeful. Thanks for keeping us informed Aaron! I hope to see you both again soon!

[John Hammonds]

So sorry to hear about Bill's condition. But thankfully they seem to have found it in time. Here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery.

Our prayers are with him tonight.

TTFN
John.

[Clayton Berry]

Please tell Bill that I said hello and am thinking about him.

[john e. holliday]

Tell Big Bear I am glad the docs caught the situation in time.   Tell him also to follow the doctors orders and not chase the nurses. LL~Get well Big Bear,    DOC Holliday

[Will Hinton]

Tell Bill we'll put him on the FCM prayer chain - after all, he's not only a buddy, brother, and friend, he's also responsible for choosing the name - Fellowship of Christian Modelers.
This from me personally, Love ya big guy, be well!

[proparc]

I've actually never met Bill Little face to face but, i've always felt like he was my close friend. Glad to hear he is going to be okay and back in "building shape" soon.

[Bill Hummel]

Hey, Bill, sneaky way to get more building time!  Get well, we're all thinking of you!

[John Leidle]

  Thanks Aron,
  The best part here is that Bill went in early   very good chance of ending this stuff. If Farra Faucett had done this like Bill the Dr.s say she most likely would of made it, I went through some crap like this 2 years ago myself    My Doctor say I have virtully nothing to worry about .
  I'll try & contact Bill I have enjoyed talking to him as much as anyone,
   John Leidle

Tell Bill we love him as a valuable brother and a good friend.  Our thoughts and Prayers are with him.

Dad is now home.
You can try him at 910-944-7864 if you want to talk to him.

[Dennis Adamisin]

That is good news Aaron.  I tried calling both the hospital and home earlier - missed both.  Here's wishing the Big Bear good spirits and a speedy recovery.  God speed & God Bless you Bill and your family.

[Larry Cunningham]

Aaron,

Please give your Dad my best regards and wishes for a speedy recovery.
He's one of my favorite people!

I promised him a get well card with a necked gurl on it. He is looking froward to that.  

I only know Bill through this forum. I am missing his posts already.

If he needs cheering up, do you think this would help?

[Bill Little]

My heartfelt thanks for all the kind words and prayers.  It is a tremendous help!

I find out Friday as to when my chemo therapy starts and I am getting stronger each day.  This is the first day I have felt good enough to get on the computer, I get real weak, real fast.  But I am getting better!

The malignancy was in my small intestine near my appendix and the surgeon feels he got everything.  He took out a bit more intestine than is called for, but he wanted to be sure while I was "opened up".

Hopefully I can get back to work on some models soon and I have a new "PAMPA" plane to finish up for October and Huntersville.  Might not be able to fly a 200 point pattern by then, but at least I can get it ready and be there.

Really, I thank you all.
Bill "Big Bear" Little

[Will Davis]

[Bill Little]

Most recent news:  I get a "port" installed for the chemo next Friday and visit the oncologist the following week.  I want to make things go faster but it's all up to the Doctors right now.

Thanks, again, fellas!
Bill
