Could use some prayers,please

14 years ago

I haven't been posting for awhile. My life has been very busy. I have been taking care of my husband,Jim and caring for my very sick sister,Diane. Jim had lung cancer surgery back in December. They said that they got the cancer, but he has had to go back to the Cancer Center every month for blood work. It seems as the CEA,tumor markers have been steadily rising. SO he has had a PET Scan,CAT Scan,CT Scan and last week he was in the hospital for a Colonoscopy and Endoscopy. So far they have found no Cancer, but are concerned about the CEA Markers. Also, he has had problems with his shoulder, right hand and he has PAD. He has already had surgery on his leg twice, 12 years ago, then again in January. This time the blockage is higher up and he will be going in for surgery very early in the morning. My sister has interstitial lung disease. It is genetic. I just lost my brother in February and my other brother has had it and been on full oxygen for two years. My sister is homebound and using a wheelchair and full time oxygen. I am with her as often as I can be. I have lung problems, but they say it is because of my spine laying on my right lung when I stand up. This has not been a great year so far. Please keep Jim in your prayers for tomorrow, and DIane in your prayers. I am a believer in the power of the KT Prayer Warriors. I will feel so much better if I know that I have your prayers. Thank you.

Her name is Haley, she is 8 years old. She,and her siblings were spending the summer with Grandma and Grandpa in Montana. She got an Ear infection the somehow progressed to bacterial meningitis. They had to fly her to a children's hospital in Salt Lake City. Last update from yesterday evening: They're worried about pressure in spine causing decreased abilit to move arms and legs. Fever is up. Chest X-ray being done to rule out pneumonia

Today started good even tho mom wouldn't cooperate. We are thinking possible stroke. BP went very low after lunch. Left corner of her mouth drew in. Couldn't hold her head up eyes going all different directions. Very little urine output. In fact still didn't have enough for a lab sample at 8pm. Dr ordered CT scan which came back negative. At a good lunch for her. Hoping it's just the meds but don't know. Thanks everyone for all the good wishes.

I will give you all the energy I have to get through this and pray for your family to survive this terrible junk. I know you are very scared and need an angel to help you through this.
That is what I will pray for now.

Consider it done. And even though you selflessly didn't ask for prayers for you, I'll be praying for you also. God bless you for all you are doing. I hope you all can find relief, peace and good news.

Sending those oh, so necessary good thoughts your way ... and may the full measure of healing that may be possible come for each of your loved ones, and for you, as each of you carries your own burden and that of the others.

And may you carry a sense of optimism and peace of heart through it all.

(((((Jim, Diane and Sandie)))))
