Just wanted to let you know, Ashlee's cancer is back and with a vengeance. It is near her heart and lungs. We have no idea the game plane but Children's hospital will have a meeting on this weds to decide what to do next. I thought we were so upset the first time, it doesn't compare to this time. For it to come back 3 months later and so much. The plate in her shoulder even broke, but...1 Recommendation7 Comments

Well I have a new disease to get used to. I went out for two days (how exhausting can it be to push on a toggle to run an electric wheelchair?) and then slept for two days. Between the MS, the Fybro, and now the Addison's all are supposed to cause fatigue and that's what happened. I am worried about getting the tooth pulled because that is surgery in a way an...1 Recommendation7 Comments

After that, I want to end our communications, as all it does is create stress and trouble here.

I don't know what there is to pray for anymore. I have an aquaintence on here that was in the same or more pain that I was in before I got the pump. She was so happy because I had sent her a message with Medtronic's phone numbers on it and told her to call at least on of the numbers and they would give her a doc's name that implanted it in her area. She has kid...1 Recommendation6 Comments

I have an update on Ashlee and her appointment today with many doctors at Childrens Hospital. As of now she goes into the hospital next week to get that port put back in. Wasn't long ago she was so happy to get it out and thought the end of the cancer and it was closing. To put it back in is crushing. Anyway, she will start a 5 day chemo every 4 weeks. She will get it at the clinic, but in th...1 Recommendation5 Comments

I was up all night and most of the morning waiting for the doc to call that was going to do the surgery on Nick's toe. The nurses finally found out what time the surgery was scheduled for - 2:00 PM. When I heard that earlier this morning I figured that they would call later and I could catch a nap. When I was sleeping the anastesialogist called and I missed the call. I...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

Well I've turned into an expert sleeper. This morning the visiting nurse woke me up with a surprise visit - changing the foley which I have trying to get done through them since I left the hospital at the end of Sept. It was interesting because I had to chuck all my medicine right away including the Florinef because she was going to get a wacky reading. She did twice. ...1 Recommendation5 Comments -
