On a more selfish note, sucks that LB won't be in training camp...I think it'll be vital so they can all get integrated into Porter's offensive/defensive schemes.

Hope it isn't cancer. He should consider relocating her to Phoenix for better medical care maybe?
UPDATE: AZCentral says she is "critically ill." Doesn't sound good and if she passes his head will be messed up for the season like what Matt went through. Sigh.

I often wonder why people who have made a good life in a first world country don't relocate their parents for better healthy care and better living standards. But it's hard to leave everything you've known behind. All their friends and family are in Brazil so it would be mad lonely in America despite the health care etc etc.
Prayers go out to his family

I don't know if you understand how much harder it is to become a resident in this country. At best all Leandro's mother can receive at this time is a "tourist visa" that expires within months. I once read an article about Leandro where he mentioned he's doing everything in his power to bring his mother and siblings to the U.S.

Best wishes to Leandro...
And healthy care wont be a issue for his mother here in Brasil, you guys have a wrong view for what we have here...
Our problem is social, somes with much money and the other with few, but its getting better, and for those who have money here, healthy care is not a problem...
