My oldest grandson just turned 7 and the little one turns 5 in November. I have raised them since birth, due their moms inabilty and unwillingness. My oldest granddaughter would have been 12 in May and the younger one turned 4 in May. Life is one adventure after another.

      Prayers coming your way for a little peace and quiet in your life!

    • Hug

      From retsnor Wednesday

      I don't know anything about how the insurance works for you but this sounds dreadful, getting part way through treatment for something that is so debilitating. I do feel for you and hope that you can get some relief soon. I went through this for years until a few years ago when I had two ops. Keep focussed on the grandchildren and keep your chin up.
