thank you all so very much

[party of 3]

Hi Ladies!

WOW! Where do I even begin to thank you. Yesterday was another tough day and I came home to find the most beautiful fruit arrangement ever. And of course it was a Mickey one! What's better than that I ask?! Thank you all for all your thoughts, prayers, pixie dust, love, texts, fruit.....everything. I'm not sure I would have made it the last few days without all of you. I'm in for a long haul here. I did manage to talk to the surgeon himself yesterday and he said she need a new ct scan w/contrast to see what he's actually looking at. the last one had no contrast. i'm not sure how much of it she can hold down, but whatever she does, she does is how i'm looking at it. It's so very hard to hear the things they are saying, but i'm positive at times. (-and not at other times, as Nan will tell you!) sometimes i get so overwhelmed that i feel like i can't breath. she's my mom. i am who i am because of her. she raised us herself. i mean come on. she's a strong woman. and to see her need so much help is just not my mom. but today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow is what i've been trying to say to myself.
ya know when i first came on here to see what this board was all about because i loved and still do disney, and i just started scrapping, i thought it would be a place to read NEVER, EVER did i imagine that I would end up with the best friends in the world. you guys rock. how can i ever thank you for the support and friendship?! please know that i think of you guys during the day and know that you are all out there thinkin' of me & my fam means the world. please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. we have a long road ahead of us.
sorry for the long post. sometimes i find it therapeutic!
i'll end how i started it......
thank you all!
with much love,
holly

You go girl

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Yeah!
You go Holly!

Did you explain to mom in the car ride home that because of that statement she lost her ice cream treat for behaving at the doctor visit?

Although, after reading the doctor's first question my first thought was to slap him upside the head!

thanks Nan and Stephanie!

i think ds at ALL the grapes 2 sec's after opening it!


one step......one moment......one cry......one foot after another.......

that's how i'm living right now.

i'm working alone today because co-worker needs to take her mom to the dr today. how am i going to check on mom??? dh said he might try to see if he can....

 

[aroyer]

Hugs Holly! Still praying, I won't stop. Feel free to text me if you need an ear (or I guess that would be an eye). And you go girl- you let those dr's know you aren't backing down!

 

[New England Eeyore]

Hang in there Holly - one day at a time is right. We're here whenever you need to vent.

 

[MazdaUK]

So glad you liked the fruit - and its a reminder too not to forget to keep yourself fed well, its easy to forget/eat junk (speaking from experience). If you need something from this side of the pond do say - for you or mom, if there's something you or she fancies tell me! McVities, Cadbury, Rowntree, they're all here. And Twinings! Sometimes Jammy Dodgers are what it takes. Prayers for you all

I can so see you yelling when it is about someone you love! Good for you.

I am so glad we were able to give you a little happiness during this trying time. I hope you got pictures of that cute arrangement before the boys dove in.

Wish I could be there to help in some way.

 

[morgansmom2000]

i was barely done taking the pic and bubba had a handfull of grapes and on the run!

thank you all so much again!
we were at the hospital bright and early this am.
she had a ct scan with the contrast. then back home and she just called me at work and said she was going to take a nap.
i'm having an ICE coffee, (something i NEVER do----Ashley are you reading this???) and i'm so stinkin' tired today. it's been a long, draining week.
i have GOT to go to the grocery store. when? who knows. bubba has swim in the am. although, he said he was not feeling well this am. not sure whats up with that??? my mind is going in 100 different directions.
Jennifer- i'll text or call ya later about Sunday.

thanks for all the good thoughts everyone. please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
