Welcome home Joelle! Many have missed your smiling and happy face around here! If that's hard to do right now, we understand! Bad things happen to good people....I don't know why, but I know we all have crosses to bare in life, just different ones.

Whats going on with Mom is just beyond fair and I feel your pain and fear accross all these miles! This is one of those things that none of us can offer up advice too, but know we are all praying for Mom, and you, and the whole family! I hope in some way, you are comforted by those here who really do care what you are going thru, what your Mom is going thru!

Take care of yourself darlin' and if you need to talk...you know where to find me!! Also....about going back to work....maybe come April, you can use FMLA as that is available for this very reason....please look into it and like my DH always says....it will all work out, some way, some how....

Many Cyber Hugs!

you are in my thoughts. Im sorry your mom has had it so rough,
Ill say a prayer for her.

Joelle, glad you are home but I know half of you is still with your mother. Call me if you need to talk sweetie.

So sorry you and your mom are going thru all this. You both will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Glad to see your post, Joelle~ BUT am really sorry to hear that your Mom is so ill. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers..

Good luck at your TY infusion tomorrow. You have to take care of yourself too.... You know "Mom' would want that..

Thanks for checking in.... take care!!!

Awww, Joelle, that's too bad about your Mom.

You cheered me up recently and maybe I can return the favor. Here is what happened:

You sent that postcard of you standing in that outdoor, very public shower in Key West. The sign reads: "Showers $1, To Watch: $2."

Well, DH had finishing helping me into our shower at home (I broke my leg). I guess he was just wondering what to do next, but I felt like I was being watched (see-thru shower door).

So I asked him, "You just gonna stand there while I shower?"

He answered with an evil smile: "Maybe."

Well, Joelle, I've had your postcard posted on my kitchen cupboard for weeks now, and he knew what I was talking about when I said, "Well, then I'll have to charge you TWO DOLLARS!"

Good luck to you and your Mom!

Hi Joelle

I posted on the other thread but will post again. Take care of yourself, too. Don't forget that.

Hugs to you. Make sure you get some rest while you are home. You have been on an emotional roller coaster. I think at some time or another, a lot of us have been there...I know I have. It's tough. Here's hoping you get good news from the MRI and the next dose of Tysabri does you good!

as hard as it may seem or be to do, please hang in there joelle, you are over taxing yourself, try to find at least a day to just block everything and sleep a thousand sleeps. even if its for one day,

sorry the news isnt more encouraging, regarding your moms cancer, dont lose faith, one can never tell what may happen, as before you, your mom and your family are in Debbies and My prayers and thoughts

I am so sorry that things are this bad. I hope they can do something for her. Cancer sucks. There is no other way to put it. I'm sorry that you and your family have to go through this.

I will be thinking of you and your mom.
