Not so good Xmas for DH

[Mrs Dazzle]

My MIL has had Myaloma (bone cancer) for nearly three years but the last couple of weeks she's really been struggling. She was rushed in to hospital Wednesday this week with renal failure - but the hospital have managed to get the old kidneys working at less than 25% so she's still hanging in there. The prognosis is not good by any means, but she should still be here at Xmas, which wasn't anticipated when she was initially taken in Wednesday If she behaves herself the next few days she's being allowed out to come and spend Xmas Eve through Boxing Day with us, then straight back into Hospital on the 27th. I'm so glad she'll be able to come over to us - Darryl's family is rather large (and noisy) so we'll be quiet. (I have warned her Katie is getting a Karaoke machine )

My father died of cancer at Xmas five years ago this year and it's such a bad time anyway for me, but this year I'm trying so hard to be happy and excited for DD Katie (9), but it's darned hard.

We hope you all have a great Christmas with lots of wonderful presents

Annie, I really feel for you and Darryl.
These things are never easy but at this time of year it just accentuates it,doesn't it. I hope you get MIL home for a real family Christmas. I'm sure Katie's joy and excitement will make it one to remember for all concerned.

Love and Merry Christmas to you all.

Dave and Valerie

You and your family will be in my prayers. I will pray that you can experience the joy of Christmas and the love of God despite the human sadness that defines us as caring beings.

Cherish (and enjoy!) the gift of time with your MIL

And may your entire family make wonderful memories this Holiday Season.

Aloha,
Lorraine
