    Positive thoughts/prayers for my mom and dad, please.

    They are not doing well right now.

    My dad is having problems with an infected tooth, which didn't respond to antibiotics, and the infection has spread into his jaw, neck, ear and lymph node. His blood pressure is also sky high, and medication is not lowering it.

    My mom has been diagnosed with a swelling of her optical nerve and the blood vessels in her eye. I am taking her to a specialist next week. The cause may or may not be a tumor behind her eye.

    They are both in their 70's.

    It is a rather bad time for our family right now. I appreciate your positive thoughts and prayers.

    Thanks.

    I will definitely keep your family in my prayers. And that includes you! What a good child you are to be concerned and so helpful. I hope I'll be able to do the same thing for my parents when they need me.

    Twisterdog,

    You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I know how difficult it can be to have to reverse the role of caretaker. I did it with my Dad. I wish you all the best. BTW, do you have any family members that can help you out??? If you do, please ask for help! I had family but they were all too wrapped up in their own lives to care. That's why I moved to MI.

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
