once again......

thought id ask if i could please have some prayers and pixie dust for my family. i have not done the daily thread all week. - i think-

for those of you that know about my bil- my sisters husband- who has ALS he has taken a turn for the worse. he was diagnosed last year when MA was sick. it was so hard for my sister. they told her and her husbad that he had it and she was also dealing with losing our mother. they have only one son who graduated last friday night. i said right along that he was holding on for that. my niece who has a 1 year old takes care of my bil when my sister goes to work. and her little boy was sick with a cold. so everyone thought he had caught the cold from the baby. so they thought if he could just get over that..... well that was not the case. it was his diaphram (sp??) that was shutting down. they -hospice and my sister and nephew- decided it was best to put him in the hospital. i've been there after work and any other chance i can get. i spent most of sunday there with them. it's hard to see my sister and her family in so much pain. i went up this afternoon and one of his lungs has not shut down. he is struggling to breathe. it hurts to watch him suffer and linger like this. as hard as this is i really wish he would let go. and not be in the pain that he is in. my heart is breaking for them. it is so close to being MA's one year anniversay i feel like i'm re-living that. what would she be saying right now?? i wish she was here for my sister. heck i wish she was here for me. i feel like my life will never be normal again......what is normal anyway.....:sad:
i know that i've certainly used my fair share of the prayers and pixie dust but if you have any you could pass my way i'd really appreciate it. i know last year at this time you were ALL so awesome to me. i would not have made it with out all the love and support from all of you.
i'm so tired. i don't sleep. i just keep thinking will it be today...? what will happen to my sister and her son?? and why? that one is floating around in my head as well. why him?
and bubba is sick with a double ear infection. the dr gave us meds last night and i really don't think they are working... and he's not sleeping. my ear hurts, my head hurts, my body hurts.......oh good grief.

thanks for letting me vent!
 
Oh Holly, you can never ask for too many prayers and good thoughts. I'm so sorry for what you, your sister and her family, and your BIL are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. :grouphug:
 
Sending prayers and pixie dust your way. :hug:

(There is an endless supply of prayers and pixie dust, so you can't ever use up your share!)

I wish I had words of wisdom and comfort other than I'll be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. :grouphug:

Hugs,
Susan

Oh Holly, I am so sorry that you are going through this. I will keep your family in my thoughts. Please know that we are here for you. You can call me *anytime*, at *any* hour. The phone is next to my side of the bed, I'll turn the ringer to low - so I will be only one to hear it. Would it help for us to come get John and he could come hang out here at lego-land. Do you need us (me and Jen - don't you love how I volunteer her for stuff) to come to you and help you with household stuff to you can be free to deal with these challenges. I can cook, clean, do laundry, not only that but think of the entertainment value of seeing Jen and I do this.;)

Really sweetie, anything you need at all - say the word and we'll do it.

Love ya:hug:

Rhonda

I'll pm my numbers for you OK...
 
Oh Holly I am so sorry. Major hugs to you and prayers and pixie dust. I wish I were closer so I could actually do something for you.

Please know I am thinking of you and your family.
 
Just saw your post on Facebook - told you to call. PMed you my # and even Raaannn's.

Hang in there...
 
:wizard: P&PD!

:hug: Holly, so sorry for your family! You all have had more than your share of sadness! It's just not fair!

Please take care of yourself too! You will be in my thoughts today :hug:
 
Holly prayers and dust for all of you. I'm still trying to remember that he has a plan for all of us. Please try to get some rest and your sister and nephew too. As hard as it all is he's probably waiting for someone to tell him it's okay to go. And as hard as that is to hear he won't be in pain anymore just us here are. Please know that our families thoughts and prayers are with you. Lean on those of us that are closest to you. and know that i'd be there in a heartbeat if I wasn't getting ready for all of Gram's stuff.

Love you and take care of yourself so that you can be strong for the others.
 
It is always right to ask for more prayers simply because we all have them. Holly. I am so sorry to hear that things have not gotten easier for your sister and her family. ALS is such a debilitating illness, and truly takes its toll on everyone.
With this group of amazing DIS women and men praying for you - you will never be "alone!"
 
Holly, So sorry you and your family is going through such a hard time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Just remember you have a great support system here and you can never ask for too much pixie dust and prayers.

We are all here for you!

Holly, take Rhonda up on her offer. You need to be able to cry without worrying you are upsetting Bubba. You NEED to do this for yourself, your family.

Prayers and Pixie Dust are with you from me. I wish I could be there for you. I hate knowing that you are in so much pain and I can't help you.


PS-there really isn't a such thing as normal, it's all media hype anyway.

Prayers and Pixie Dust for your family. :tinker:
 
Holly, you know I'm thinking of you and I'm sorry for piling my stuff on you during this hard time.

But, you can get back at me and have me and Rhonda over to clean (Rhonda can clean, I'll cook). :hug:
 
Hugs, Holly - I'm so sorry that your family is going through this pain. I'm sure your sister is very grateful that she has you and your loving family as she endures these sad recent developments.

I agree with AWM - there is no blissful, perfect "normal." Normal is ear infections, spats with spouses, hugs, worrying about making paychecks stretch, the love of devoted friends and family, piles of laundry and undone chores, watching children grow, and the rest of our wonderful, crappy, messy, fun, days.

Please take care of yourself...
