Hello Cuties, there is really no update on my sister. She must be still on the Bi-Pap. How the body can last struggling for so long is beyond my understanding.

We learned 2 days ago that one of my husband’s brothers Dean, in another nursing home, has tested positive. Just like Sue he has COPD and he has heart problems.
We also learned that day his brother Douglas’ treatments not working and cancer has spread into the lungs now. The doctor gave him 4-6 months to live.
I lost an aunt too that day, but not to Covid or cancer. She was elderly and we expected this. She was my dad’s last sibling. I did not go to funeral. I have been down with my back again and we also are not getting out. My back was better yesterday and hope it will be even better today, so don’t worry about me.
It was a bad day, but today is a new day. I trust God will refresh me in body and spirit. Hopefully, it will be a good day and Sue can make an improvement. Hoping Deans symptoms will not worsen and Douglas and family, can come to terms with his fate.
I appreciate all your prayers for my family. I know everyone has their own problems but it’s good when we can share and support each other.
As always I do hope Cuties, you are well and will not be touched by this virus. My heart goes out to all of you with thanksgiving for your prayers. ❤️ Toogie

Remembering you and your family today with prayer that your back will heal, and your brothers-in-law will turn a corner and that your precious sister Sue will be given a new lease and fight to come off of that machine and heal. Life is doubly hard these days.
I will be glad to see the other side of this pandemic.

Prayers and hugs for you and your family, Toogie. My older brother is in hospital (no virus) and I'm praying for him since last week.
Huge hugs, Lidia

Dear Toogie, as with all the others on here I pray for you and your family's situation. God never gives us more than we can handle, but sometimes it's a bit overwhelming. I know you have a strong faith and that you can lean on Him for all your comfort. Let us pray that Dean will come through this with flying colours. The news about Sue sounds really promising. I'll light another candle for her tomorrow morning at. 9.15. God's blessing upon you and may you feel the love from us all. Love Chris

Dear Toogie I've kept you in my prayers. I've not been good about commenting in the forum lately... but I read as many posts as I can. I know you are a kind and courageous person. God knows it better than either you or I. All that He gives to you, you handle with faith and love. He knows you and will help you with the burdens. My prayers will continue.
Thank you for being His angel
Sending love!

Toogie, I'm sorry that I have not kept up with your posts about family. It seems that you have so many burdens to bear right now. Praying that you find the love and strength from above to get you through all of this. Also praying for healing for your family and you.

I know your plate is overflowing right now with all of this sadness and scary times. And then add your painful back. But you are clinging to our Lord and Savior and He is definitely your rock. Keep hanging in there and keep us updated. Our prayers will continue.

So sad to read your post Toogie. I know we all have our own problems to deal with but you seem to have more than your share at the moment. Hope you and your family get through these problems. I will keep you all in my prayers. Stay safe and look after yourself. Hugs
