*** Edit***

Our nephew passed last evening at about 7:00 PM. He went into multiple organ failure and his family decided to be merciful and not put him through anything else. We are heartbroken. He was a loving son, father, and grandfather. His services are Wednesday in the Florida Panhandle.
My girls both have offered to drive us. My hubby is not able to be out on a trip like that, and I hate to leave him alone. We have to discuss our plans, but I know that he wants to be there to console his sister.
Our hearts are broken.  
We do have one positive note. Our grand-daughter-in-law was able to go home last evening. It appears that she had some sort of severe gastrointestinal bug. Her labs that were coming back abnormal were taken from the arm that she was receiving fluids in. Thank you, God, for that.

Like so many, our family is having so many issues right now. A week ago, I received word that my niece Holly, has had a recurrence of cancer they thought was under control. We learn this week if they are going to continue with treatment or go into Hospice care.
Then this Friday, my husband's nephew Paul went in for open heart surgery (he just turned 55) and they could not restart his heart. He has been put on the external pump and transported to Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Florida for emergency heart transplant.
Then this morning, we got word that my youngest grandson's wife was taken to the hospital by ambulance. They are running a CT on her today, and possibly going into surgery this afternoon. Not sure what is causing her issue, but it was causing server heart rate issues. They just moved back into central Florida in late August. He retired with disabilities after nearly 13 years in the Air Force. They have 2 little ones, ages 2 and 3.


Prayers please, once again for all of these younger ones. It has been very hard for us this year and have had so much going on.





Prayers please
