Prayers for MamaBee

[Hope]

God IS good!!  I hope you can get the physical and mental rest you need to deal with the chemo and hope your husband can keep his spirits up.  You are an inspiration, Mama Bee!


Continuing to pray for you both.

[Eliza]

I am praying for you and your husband. ((hugs))

God is great indeed.

Prayers will continue.

I am still praying daily. I am so encouraged by your spirit and strength to trust God.

Keep on keeping on.

Thank you for the prayers. This is also hard on my nine kids who all see it from different perspectives. It is hard to imagine that you might lose both of your parents,if you are an adult. I can't imagine what it would be like at 8 or 9. They all seem to have times that are harder than others. Fortunately not everyone is going crazy at the same time.

I am doing okay. Tomorrow I have my second chemo treatment. All my hair is gone except for some wisps. It feels like a relief. I wanted to cut it for a long time. .

Dh is not doing so well. He seems to be fading. I don't know how long he will last. Miracles can happen, but I am not expecting one at this point. I am praying that he will stay alive long enough for us to have taken care of anything that needs to be done in the way of tying up loose ends and that all of my children can be at peace about it, as much as that is possible.  My older kids were in denial, but he spent the weekend with my daughter at her house and now she sees that he is really sick. Two others seem to get it. The younger ones are still having trouble, but my youngest boy can talk about it saying that he doesn't want Daddy to die because then he won't have a daddy. I have been talking to my worst Rad and telling her that this is a very scary time and that it is normal to be scared. That is helping to calm her down a lot.

My husband's oncologist started him on chemo last week, but another doctor asked him if he had called hospice. He said that he wasn't ready. A nurse told me that you can't have hospice if you are doing chemo.

Thank you for all the prayers. Through all of this, I feel like I am in a bubble or something that is keeping me calmer than I would normally be. My oncologist and my pastor told me that I am handling this better than a lot of other people have done in the same situation. The prayers are causing that I am sure. I am not in despair.

[Eliza]

May God continue to give you strength and peace. ((hugs))

[Mama Bee1]

Thank you Eliza

MamaBee1,

I have no words, just prayers for hope and peace and that you continue to feel God's hand through whatever path is ahead.

Continuing to pray for you and your family.  You have God's peace and no doubt it is a testimony to your family and others.  Hugs.

[Cher]

I just don't know what to say.

I am so very sorry this is happening to your family.

Continued prayers for your family.  God has hands on you all, of that I am certain!

MamaBee, I love your comment about your hair! 

Funny, smart, and great evidence of your amazing attitude.

Prayers to you and your DH.

[Mama Bee1]

Thank you all. Dh is still here. He had the energy to go out to an event last night. From a distance, I saw a former co-worker of his when she first saw him and I could see the shock and sadness in her face at the difference in him.

I was hospitalized for two days this past week due to a low grade fever from the chemo. It was apparently not a big deal for which I feel fortunate. I was frightened when I was in there that I was not going to get better. Then I felt that the Holy Spirit was telling me that I was never going to have to go back there as an inpatient, but only for a happy occasion.

I was home for one day with no major crisis. Then I got a call yesterday from Protective Services and I/ we have been hotlined. The woman is coming next week to investigate and see all of the children. God is good, all the time. I am pretty sure I know who called. Most likely a close relative.

[shroon]

What a shame that a close relative would call instead of stepping up while you are in the midst of medical challenges. How easy it is for some to sit and judge from afar or near and never attempt to find the truth or help. 

I am glad that you are out of the hospital. Sending warm and happy thoughts to you and your DH.
