Thoughts and prayers of peace to your friends. Young children are amazing and there are some very good books at the library about losing a grandparent. Writers have done a good job bringing passing on down to a childs level. georgeanne

Thanks so much for the good vibes.. I think they worked. I was so stressed when I wrote that, having flashbacks from 2 years ago when my Mother passed. I was the only one ( out of 8 kids) to be there! It's so different when it's your own family, and being a nurse sometimes makes it worse. ( so much is expected.. hey , I'm not a doctor, I just play one on TV!!) He was finally moved to a room,He is right next to the Nurses Station. I am glad he is not miles away. He is breathing a bit better, but he is 87 with multiple problems. I can't even begin to tell of the horrors in that ER. ( once, he spent 5 days there!) I'll go over later this morning and get to speak with the patient rep. It's always worse over a holiday or weekend. ( You can only get sick Monday through Friday) Thanks again, It really meant SO much to me to read all your kind words! You really helped!!! I feel so fortunate to have found you all! Lori

I hope all she needs is stents but I have had three friends under go by pass in the last month....all in their eighties and doing very well. Good thoughts coming to your friend, Sally. The good news is that she's aware of her problem and can take the necessary steps to correct it.

sandi? wondering how he did thru the weekend? sure hope his oncologist was able to see him as well...it's so irritating when one dr doesn't call or talk to original...even with meds...primary suggested new drug for bone density...well that's fine but what about oncologist and kidney dr??? so after getting on the phone and leaving messages with the other 2 dr's got an ok...and they're all supposed to connected to the hospital I used...
