Getting caught up with everyone. It is still a whirlwind around here. Last week, my niece that is living with us was in the hospital and ICU last week for atypical asthma. It was quite the struggle to get her treated as she does not present with the "
Just a quick thank you to all who have given words of encouragement, advice and sent prayers for us and my niece whom we recently found out was pregnant. It is greatly appreciated. We are all still numb and shocked, but are starting to process. Thank yo

Life seems to be throwing lots of curve balls lately. But on the upside, My Mom's cancer seems to be stable and we don't have to go back for 4 months. She'll never be rid of it, but as it is very slow growing, she may never need any further treatment

Seems like I have been gone for a long time. I have missed my Cutie friends. I have missed so much of what is going on with everyone and it will take me a few days to catch up with everyone. I keep asking the Lord for life to slow down, but evidently H
Haven't been on much lately. Ultra busy with family stuff going on. My Mom was finally able to have the biopsy of the mass they found in her abdomen yesterday. They tried two weeks ago but found that she was so constipated, they could not get a clear
