20060215 - Carol Gomez sits with her triplets Julia, Max and Robert
Gomez at a prayer vigil for her husband and their dad Jerry Gomez at
Palma Ceia Presbyterian Church in South Tampa on Wednesday evening.
Robert Gomez was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphona in 1998 and had
a bone marrow transplant to save his life in 2005. His condition has
worsened recently, and doctors will perform a brain biopsy Thursday to
confirm their diagnosis of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy
(PML). If the diagnosis is correct, doctors have given him only weeks
to live. The triplets celebrated their eighth birthday Wednesday.
