OK, truck is fixed, car is in shop.

Called my niece to check on my SIL. She has surgery tonight for disc in her neck which is pressing on spine and home tomorrow if all goes well.

They have her scheduled for LP after that to check for MS or cancer on spine and brain. Her daughter says she has lesions on brain and "mass" on or near spine so guess it is a wait and see thing for a few more days.

While talking to my niece found out her son has been found to be allergic to peanuts. and also has to have a sleep study done for sleep apnea, he is 6 years old. He has asthma, snores and has night terrors. He has had surgery on sinuses and is now on meds for CF (doesn't have CF) to keep the mucous at a tolerable level.

Her daughter is having her tonsils and adnoids out on Monday because of strep infections.

So, the downpour continues. There is more but I won't go into it all.

Please keep my family in your prayers.

PS: I just want to thank certain someone who sent me PM. You find out true friends when in need. And BTW, I was only kidding about needing money, we're OK. But extra luck wouldn't hurt.

Sheesh, Bren, you sure are on a bumpy road right now.

I'm sure that I speak for many when I say that we are ever vigilant in our prayers for you and yours. Hang on, there's a light out there somewhere.

Well Brenda~~ Your'e platter is full. You have long ago filled that darn plate!!! I am glad to hear lil Jos is doing better and the pic is adorable.

So sorry for all the health issues going on in your family. Will keep your SIL and Mother in my prayers. Most of all, I will keep you in them, Brenda!

You have just had so much to deal with; take care of you, too!

Knock it off Brenda!!! What the heck!!!!! Man, I thought I had too much on my plate. Geeeesh!!! Do ya need anything. You know where I'm at!

You better take care of you!

Thanks all!! SIL is doing better from surgery on her neck but still awaiting the LP to dx the lesions and masses.

I spent most of the day in bed or on the couch yesterday--I guess the stress caught up with me. And the HEAT! I didn't realize how hot it was in my stupor. Husband couldn't believe I didn't have air on.

We had Joslyn overnight while Daddy worked. Its a good thing she's easily entertained. You would never know she'd been through the mill except for the meds and tiny incision scars. Its good to see her doing so well. She did mention her pee bag last night so she remembers more than we think.

I hope all is well with others around here. I hope to get on here more often and just visit, not just share our woes but I'm thankful for all of you here and helping me through such trying times.
