There are just too much going on at my home right now. As I previously blogged, my mother-in-law's thyroid cancer has recurred. It has metastasized to her spine and Nanay underwent 10 radiation treatments. Doctors talked about surgery, but she is 75 years old and no family member thought Nanay would do well with that form of medical treatment.

Nanay went back in the hospital yesterday because she was having trouble swallowing and was becoming dehydrated. It was also discovered her blood pressure was very low. The swallowing issue may have been caused by the radiation treatments burning Nanay's esophagus. Tests are being done to determine this.

I don't know how long she will be in JFK hospital. Right now her two daughters and one granddaughter are taking turns staying in the hospital with. While I'm not doing the back and forth hospital shuttle, I am having to take care of the house much more than is normal for me. Remember I have my own health issues. Nanay's health is bad and I think it won't ever be good again. At present I don't feel much more than spending my free time watching Hogan's Heroes, writing an occasional blog post, and playing Minesweeper. Sorry I got too much going on at present to focus on my writing.

You and your family are in my prayers

...I do know that you have many folks who enjoy your stories, but your needs come before our wants, of course. I hope and pray for your comfort as well as that of your precious family.


Dio vi benedica tutti
Con grande amore e di affetto

Add my prayers!

You will be in my heart, and in my prayers!

Me too Danielle

[email protected] I know all too well the toll it can take on one's spirit. As Bailey and Drea know, I've been going through a rough patch too.

You and your family will be added to my prayer list. If there's anything else I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask. We are here for you. What I love about this place, more than anything else is that it's much more of a family than any I could've hoped to have.

Love and Hugs,
Jonelle

Danielle, I am so sorry I didn't see this earlier

Take care of yourself and your wife who must be hurting big time seeing her mom so frail and ill.

I will wait paitiently for you to post again when things have settled down. Meanwhile hang in there.

If it would help feel free to PM me or just to vent in public. Don't let the stress build up.
