  • don't know what to do.....

    Friday, December 5, 2008

    Hi, I am so I don't know how to put it in words.  I don't know what to expect or what to do  about this fibro and lupus diagnose.  I feel so bad because my boys are finally at the age where I can really do things with them and half the time I don't feel good.  I don't know I guess I just need to learn to live with this awful stuff.  Thanks for reading.&nbs...

    Friday, January 2, 2009 | A Sad story

    MY UNCLE HAS BEEN IN CRITICAL CONDITION FOR MORE THAN A WEEK.  TODAY DOCTORS DIDN'T THINK HE WOULD MAKE THE NIGHT.  I JUST GOT A  PHONE CALL A FEW MINUTES AGO FROM MY AUNT SAYING HE PASSED. I'M GOING TO MISS HIM VERY MUCH. BUT HE WAS SUFFERING AND I DON'T WISH THAT ON AMYONE SO I'M GLAD GOD CALLED HIM HOME AND NOW HE IS IN PEACE.

  • He is gone

    Friday, October 16, 2009 | A Sad story

    Thank you all for your love and prayers for Zoe.    He died on the way to the vet's this morning.  We are heartbroken and Krystal just broke down so bad when I called to tell her.  He was her "baby"  and as she says "best friend" .    She needs lots of prayers.  Thank you my dear DS family.  I love you.

    MOJO FOR PRAIRIE PLEASE
    Hi All,
    I spoke with Prairie yesterday, she cried often.
    Her pain is just severe.
    She has to ‘learn to deal with it’.
    And I have to learn to deal with feeling utterly helpless and useless.  Not good with that one, having codependent tendencies and all.
    She has an appointment today (was rescheduled) with a doc, a f...

    Wednesday, July 2, 2008 | A Painful story

    So, we saw Danny's consultant this morning.
    10 months on from Danny's brain haemorrhage, they have decided he is not going to improve any further (how dare they!).  And, no surprise to hear (budgetary constraints), they want us to decide where Danny is to go now.  Oh, and by the way, the catheter for his urine will probably kill him in about 5 years anyway but it is all abou...

    Tuesday, June 17, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Hey everyone -
    It's been a while since I posted, and I apologize for that. I have tried so hard to make the time, and then just as I'm gearing up to write, I get pulled away.  Work at DS has been absolutely crazy in the last few months, and I don't have a second from the minute I wake up until midnight to even talk to the folks that make DS such a special place.
    Anyway, here's...

    Sunday, October 25, 2009 | A Sad story

      I hate to be a drag.   I am usually upbeat but I can't shake the feeling of guilt for not saving Zoe.   Krystal is still so hurt and heartbroken over losing him.  We all are.   So hard to believe he is gone.   Many may say, "It was only a cat."  but we do not feel that way.  He was a loving special member of our family an...
