Do any of you have prayer requests??

Kay - not sure what MeMaw is....you mean your mom lost a sister now?

OMG....Prayers big time...for you and all your family.

My brother-in-law was diagnosed yesterday with untreatable pancreatic cancer. They removed a softball sized tumor that was attached to his liver. The doctors say he's got less than two months, but not to expect two full months...

Scooter's Mom...My heart goes out to you. Prayers first for a miracle. If that is not possible, then for a peaceful time for all your family.

Miracles sometimes happen...I hope it is his turn.

Memaw is what I call my grandma. The poor lady has watched her husband go through a nasty episode, was sent to the ER herself, and now she's lost her sister.

I'm so sorry Scooter's Mom ~ Thinking of your BIL and the rest of your family. {{HUGS}}

I wanted to add Sherman to this thread, if he hasn't been added already.

Sherman is going through a tough time right now and furmom Pat could sure use a few hugs.

Here we go again.

I don't want to get into details, but please keep us in your thoughts yet again.

We're leaving for North Carolina here in just a few minutes.. kind of a mini vacation that we both need.

One more bit of good news, my nephew was chosen to go to Turkey on an archeology work trip this summer, yay! I don't know that much about Turkey except that it is located near Greece, has a history going back centuries, the home of Turkish Angora and Turkish Van cat breeds, and currently mostly Muslim. I bet I will learn more about Turkey and the Muslim religion as he gets ready to go, though.

My nephew left on July 7th. He flew from here to Istanbul, and then from Istanbul to Ankara. He will be on the archeology site until the middle of August and have a few days to see the city of Istanbul before returning home. This is the team's 10th summer there and they have a good relationship with the people of the nearby village. He was told to dress modestly, nothing very tight or very old and worn out. He will be on a team working with mortar. I'm sure he will learn a lot while he's there. I'll keep you posted.

Scooter's Mom, I am so sorry to hear this. I'll be keeping him in my thoughts. I know it's too soon to tell, but Doctor's are not always accurate on these sort of things. I've heard of people who had a month or so, and they lived for about 2-3 more years. It can happen. Just keep hopeful and please keep us updated.

Oh Crystal! What a year you are having! Is he one of the family back "home" in Texas? Do you plan to make a visit? Prayers for all of you.

[Scooter's Mom]

He is here in AZ - I married into the family.

Thanks for all the prayers going up...

Prayers for Sherman, Pat, JoJoe and Star.

I just found out about this. My uncle Joel and aunt Marie didn't have insurance. So, my uncle spent about a month in the hospital, uninsured, and now he's gone. My aunt has to deal with the hurt of his passing and now has all of these debts on her plate.

Poor lady.


Also, my grandfather isn't doing well still. Long story short...

My dad and aunt had him out of the nursing home the other day - for a day visit. He refused to leave and threatened himself. He ended up being baker acted and brought to the hospital. He is now in a new nursing home - my father is visiting him right now. I'll find out more when he gets home.

-sigh-

[Catty1]

Kay, I am so sorry....things have been too rough and too much happening with you...this is just not fair...

I hope your aunt can get some help... I wonder if a hospital social worker would have any ideas, or a lawyer for elderly people? Those lawyers do exist and know about things most of us don't.

PRAYERS coming to you and all your family.

Ugh... more bad news.

I don't know the whole story yet, but when my grandpa woke up this morning he blacked out and fell. He has gashes on his face and his whole left arm is bruised. He is at the hospital now. He was dehydrated, his kidneys were malfunctioning, and something else.

Like I said, I don't know the whole story yet. It's just one thing after another.

I don't know if he'll ever be "better."
