I'm so sorry to read this Sandie. I live near Tampa. Please call me if you need ANYTHING. I'll send you my number through this site. Even if you need a waiting room or prayer partner. My biggest prayers, Barbara

Deb, you have my sympathy. I lost my mother 3 months ago, and still can't believe she is gone. It's hard to imagine that people are trying to get things that were your mother's. What nerve! We were lucky--the only things people requested were pictures of Mom, and we were happy to share them. If you need a shoulder, I'm here for you. Hugs!

Thanks all, Amy sure is in for a long haul. The last xray showed the bone moved and is not healing correctly. As soon as the hundreds of stiches heal, they are going to have to rebreak it and try to set it...this time with a more substantial cast. They were not able to put a regular hard cast on because of the stiches. They really want to make every effort to set this bone so that no rod is necessary. Then when the bone or rod is set, she will need surgery to reconnect the ligament that was severed. Amy has been my challange child. She had just gotten clean of a pain med addiction. She definetly needs them now, but the Drs are aware and have assured us they will give it their all to wean her off them when the time comes. Your prayers really do help.....especially for me... I can feel them every day. I try to thank Him for all his blessings each and every day....you all are among those blessings.

Thank you for your prayers. We had an education meeting today with the nurses,and I have been doing nothing but reading since then. I have had Cancer twice and gone through Chemo, but this is so much scarier for me. I know that I have to be strong for him. He had no side effects from the first medicines but I know that he will have a lot more to deal with now. I have my friends and family and Prayer Warriors so I am trying to stay positive through this.
