    Deb you keep us going also. I always try to read the verse for the day on KLOVE. They also are a radio station a christian one I love. The verse today made me think of you. It is Matthew21:22 You can pray for anything, and if you have faith you will recieve it. So there you go a verse for us all. My brother in law is from Bowling Green. He always talks about how nice Ky. is. He seldom gets to go back to visit. So enjoy this day the LORD has made. I love you and GOD bless....

    My one wish for you, Deb, if I may, is strength to stay away from the medical internet if at all possible. Put your faith's effort elsewhere- in a short walk, good communication with your family, toilsome paperwork with help from DH, a nice chat with your neighbor or here in chat...



    When the mind wonders to the deep end, we can loose our self. So actively avoiding scary medical info is a step which can help sure up one's day and mood. No one can direct you, Deb, only you and I'm no fancy preacher on right and wrong in life.



    Please remember each day, you're at the forefront of our thoughts now, sending vibes as sisters can to help get you through the day and night with support.



    Please Lord, shine your Spirit on Slonedeb each and every day, so that she may look up and see a path, feel its warmth, hear its songs, yet know her time here is for enjoyment of it's earthly pleasures, for herself with her spouse, children, neighbors and sisters as best as is possible.



    Thinking much of you Deb,

    Tender

    Dearest Deb,



    Guns, narcotic pain pills, and money make for a dangerous mix. Might you call your local police and alert them, since presumably the guns are registered to your DH, as well as call your DH if you can. Maybe your neighbor may help some too.



    I'm so sorry Deb. But don't own your adult son's bad behavior, just make a plan how to fulfill your medical needs and try to carry through.



    Glad to see your post this morning,

    Tender

    Deb, wishing you a peaceful day, free from the hurt of those who rob from life, replaced instead with constancy of those who love, who share their daily bread and prayers, and words of encouragement and of comfort.



    Prayers for you,

    Tender

    slonedeb. i'm BACK!!! we had an amazing storytale adventure to ARUBA, where we sat and watched the water turn blue-r as the day got brighter all week. paradise. i said prayers for you and your family every day as i walked along the shore -- counting my blessings for such an exotic, Cinderella story.

    i've read back thru your thread and am so encouraged by the number of people who spoke up, offering you their support and encouragement. we are so much stronger by our group effort, together. i know it must have meant the world to you to connect with old friends and meet some new ones!

    i am so deeply sorry to learn of the continuing story of sorrow that surrounds your son. i can only begin to image how your heart must break over each of these intereactions. i know how hard you've worked in the midst of your own treatment -- to get him on a better road. hugs to you mama bear. hugs to you.

    now i see you haven't posted for a couple of days so i'm really wondering how you're doing at this point? i read of your distress over the 'predictions' that some have given. our Tender is so touching in her counsel to steer clear of those fortune tellers. i'm sure that is much easier said than done, but plug your ears and breath deeply into this day -- as it is all we know for certain.

    i have much to 'do' to get resituated into real life, but wanted you to know that i have returned and will keep posting to you, whenever i am able to connect.

    today i'm sending you calm. deep, lasting calm. i've seen a color of blue that i've only imagined until now and it brought me such calm.

    thinking of you, each and every day.

    your buddy in faith, faith

    xx00xx00xx00xx00xx00xx

    and i just read a couple of posts from PUPPY, so that must put such a song in your heart to know that she too is fighting for each day that's a possibility!! i know how much you mean to each other.........

    I pray all things are better for you. With Puppy getting better and Faith back plus all your other prayer warriors praying  how can you lose. You are one of a group of special friends for me also. Close your eyes and relax and heal. God is still and always in control. I saw a church sign it says DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE GOD IS ALREADY THERE. Deb looking forward to a post from you.I LOVE YOU AND SENDING NORTH CAROLINA HUGS BACK YOUR WAY..GOD BLESS.

    slonedeb. thanks so much for finding the energy to post and let us know how miserable you've been. i hate that you've lost weight again..... just when you'd added a couple of pounds.

    i will pray and pray that the fact that this treatment is making you ill, means that it's doing it's job and knocking the crap right outta ya.

    i'm sendin you love and energy, deb. prayers for your strength.

    Deb so sorry you have been sick. STAY hydrated dear. Call dr. get meds for nausea. Worry is not helping either. I know I am not one to talk . I am a worry wart also at times. Now eat a lil something. How does cold watermelon sound. I am trying to make you hungry a lil. Send me a email  s_king_1960@yahoo.com  I need your address.I love you and sending prayers up for you and with faith back she will boost your spirits in no time....

    Dearest Deb,



    Twelve pounds off a lean body often makes it hurt to sit or lie; shift yourself often, pillows for support. Have you ever tried Pedialyte, Deb? It's chocked full of all the right chemicals needed to replace that loss in rapid dehydration. You can buy the generic, it's on the shelf not the pharmacy, and it's not expensive. Orange flavor is good.



    That's a lot too loose in several days, Deb. I can only guess how upset your gi system is, maybe headache too. Is your doctor checking on you today? Perhaps a bag or two of IV fluid is in order.



    Hoping you feel our support where ever you are, knowing our well is deep as we reach deep inside us to yield our caring, our embracing, our friendship.



    ((Hugs to you, Deb))

    Tender

    slonedeb: the trashmen were bangin around here this morning, before 6:00!! seems that there should be an ordinance against that much enthusiasm that early. just makes me very aware of how we depend on each other for even the most mundane of chores.

    wondering how you are and if you've been able to get any rest recently?

    remember to stay hydrated as Kbug has been prompting you. that watermelon idea sounds like a great suggestion -- especially this time of year. tender's insight is always brilliant -- listen to her counsel.

    has your neighbor continued with his frequent chats? please thank him for all of us..... we'd each like to take a turn to stop by for a visit.

    isn't it great to have puppy able to post again? i know that has to be such a relief to you!! the two of you are incredible role models for the rest of us.

    yesterday was a gorgous day here. we were able to get the babies out for a walk in their double wide stroller and enjoyed the fresh air. they are just beginning to "smile" with genuine intent and it's enough to take your breath away.

    i'll be praying for you and your whole family today. count on it. i'm asking for mercy.

    Glad to see your post Deb, as I awoke this cool morning early, and wondered how you were doing. I hope you've been given some fluids, and are less dehydrated.
     
    We do need a cure, or at least a change to chronicity with this dastardly disease, Deb. I say my prayers for you to include such. Don't give up your faith; if you can let the unpleasantries of daily life go to the side and be replaced with the warm glow of feeling your friends and family support and prayers and your pride in keeping that grain of mustard seed in bloom.
     
    With much affection,
    Tender

    slonedeb..... how fantastic to come thru and find you're a "little better" .......... I'm so tickled to hear that -- even if it's a teeny weenie, tiny bit better. we take anything in the direction of wellness and celebrate it with gusto!!! i think even if you're in 'holding-your-own-mode' that we need to be singing and dancing.

    it does sound like your body has undergone so much "stress" with this whole journey, and that systems are functioning less than ideally for sure.

    i'm glad that you were able to get out, even for a little change of scenery.

    today i had a library program in a very small little town and they had 113 children in attendance!! what a wild turn-out that was. fun, fun, fun.

    know that i'm praying for you ..........

    Thinking of you tonight, Deb, understanding tomorrow you see your oncologist. I wonder if your DH or daughter might be accompanying you to help, keeping you company too. The soul needs a soulmate in times of tribulation, and you have been weighted down yet kept great composure.
     
    Follow your heart in your requests Deb. Don't let yourself be intimidated and not speak up for your wishes. It's your right to be heard and your wishes to be followed as much as possible; be strong and say what's on your mind, and before you leave, do a quick run through to make sure no big points were omitted. I'm mindful of your past observation of your mom with her disease. Please try to push through the pain of bringing up difficult points: by hearing of modern changes in therapy and care you may find a burden lifted off your shoulders.
     
    For tonight, try to stop think about tomorrow: give it five minutes of thought now, write down some of your key points which you wish to have covered, and then try to put the visit out of your mind by refusing to let your mind go there. A simple technique, that works for many, and one which I hope may help you through this stress.
     
    Wishing calm waves washing toward you, Deb, and recollection of our support for you and that of One greater than all.
     
    Peace to you Deb,
    Tender

    Oh Tender. How very caring, kind and articulate. What a great friend and support you are for our slonedeb.

    Slonedeb: what an incredible blessing and guidance our Tender offers. Incredible wisdom in such a soothing delivery. We are indeed our own, best advocates.

    Know that I will pray for your appointment tomorrow -- in the hopes that your concerns can be addressed.

    I pray you will rest quietly tonight.
