randired

I just want to say thank you. I have been reading up and happy to see some familiar faces here. I feel bad that I didnt stay around. I just couldnt keep up with so many boards with a busy toddler on my hands and with many other things going on. Moving on has been very difficult. And this, is coming at such a horrible time for me. Moms 2 year Jewish passing date is in a week and grandma has been in the same place mom was at in the end. I cant face going back and its hard to explain to the husbands family because they dont understand that it still hurts just driving by the place. I am truly glad that I know that there is a place I can always come home to. Thank you.

Hi. I used to be an active member a few years ago when my mother was sick and passed away almost 2 years ago. My husbands grandmother has been diagnosed with lung cancer after they biopsied a piece of her hip bone when they recently did a hip replacement. They did see a spot on her lungs but she is refusing a biopsy of that. The doctor is sure that the cancer in her bones is from lung cancer. I am kind of out of the loop because my in-laws do not seem to ask many questions of the doctor and do not talk to us in deapth about it. This brings back a lot of feelings and heartache and I know I am going to have to be there for many people. I just wanted to say hello and i think i may be hanging around for awhile.

I am sorry to hear this about your mom. I know this is hard for both of you as well as the rest of your family and friends. I am thinking of peaceful and comfortable days. My heart is with you. Be strong and give your mom all the love she can get!

You are doing great and making good decisions. My heart goes out to you and i wish you strength and comfort.

I am sorry to hear of your dads condition and I wanted to let you kow that you are in my thoughts.

I agree, I would talk to your parents. You dont have to tell them that you were smoking unless you absolutely have to. Just tell them your symptoms and get yourself to a proper doctor. Take care of yourself.

I think its so wonderful that your mom will get to meet your little one. sex will soften the cervix and if it doesnt help you go into labor, it will make labor a little easier. vals suggestions were right on. Spicy foods neve did a thing for me. I ate so much spicy food at the end of my pregnancy, im suprised my kid wasnt born with a bright red face. Anyway, try eggplant parm. or pinapples. For some reason there is a natural chemical in both of those that could trigger labor. Ugh, good luck! I remember the end. I walked around 4 cm dialated for 4 weeks. My son was finally induced 2 days after due date and good thing he was, he was stuck on my pelvis, never dropped and doc said that was probably why i never went into labor.

I am terribly sorry for your loss. My best to you and your family in this difficult time!

That is really great news! Congrats!

I know I sent you a check for the book. Im anxiously awaiting for it. Hopefully you did get it! Good luck with the test. i am crossing my fingers for you!!!

big big hugs to you sweetie!!

I was there also. We got another couple friends of ours to do it with us. It was a great day and it was a great turnout. This was my first walk and it really felt great. We were able to raise$1,400. I was so proud of everyone that helped. I am sorry I didnt meet up with aimee, but it seems like she knew who we were. =)

I just put a post here about that. We will be there too. Hope to see you there.

Me, Ryan and Jory are going to do a walk with Cancer Care to help raise funds to help support this nonprofit group. It was a great help for us when we were dealing with everything there is to deal with my moms cancer and all of its ugly faces. We are looking for sponsers and if you can help, I would greatly appreciate it! If not, just keep us in your hearts! Thank you! https://www.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=105553&lis=0&kntae105553=C06792CFE9094632A2653801B7D82879&supId=105024439[/url]

I dont post much, if at all these days, but I am here almost every day. I had felt in the past that some posts were moved selectively. Some have been moved and then some that covered the same topic hadnt been moved. I would say that if posts were to be moved, that it should be consistant within topic. I have noticed that the GTKY posts have really brought up the moral here and was well needed. However, they have overtaken the general page in my opinon. I am a memeber of many other boards (a mommy board, a fibromyalgia support, weight loss support boards) and the fun stuff was all placed in a seperate place. When I look for boards to be a part of, I look for it to help me with what I went there for and the extras to be in its own place. I do think the directors here have done an amazing job and this is not an easy topic to deal with on an every day basis. I applaud them and always say to keep up the good work. All in all, it is their board and they can do with what they want. I know my opinions dont mean much, because i am not an active poster, but I am here in the background thinking of all of you!

OHHH. That sounds so absolutely yummy! Just thinking of it makes my mouth water.

I think the price is very reasonable. I cant wait to get a few. And what a great idea to get tjem as holiday gifts.

Oh, hun! I feel you! My mom was the worst when she was feeling better. Screaming at me that I have to get a bigger house before she dies or something a bit outrageous like that. Its hard to keep a tight lip. but hang in there. I am glad she is feeling better on days. About that baby, your doing a wonderful job! keep that mommy gold going! You and her will be healthier in the long run for it. Take it slow with the solids, we dont want to overwhelm her. Boy I miss those days where a little rice and bm was an exciting adventure. Now the excitement of the day is which bug is he going to bring me or how many times can he attempt to run into the street before I take him inside for the rest of the afternoon. Oh, savour the moments! Hugs to all!

I am terribly sorry for this horrible news. I hope he is now at peace and comfortable. My condolences to all that has known and loved him. He will be in your hearts eternally.

awww....thank you! If you kep up my blog, its been rough and we are all trying to be strong. I never even came into this forum, I always stayed in the general area. Ill keep up in here too. Hugs

Mom is quickly deteiriating (sp?) and I have been able to be there for her a lot the past few days. You think you can prepare yourself for something and then you just fall apart anyways. I am trying to be strong and trying to guide her to the next step. We finally got the hospice nurse to come and see her and she told us that she has a few days, if that. The doc told my dad that he doesnt think that she will make it to monday. What is most difficult, is that no one really knows, but we all hope for peace for her. I just wanted to say thank you for your virtual hugs and support. It really means a lot to me, even though I havent been here much for all of you. Just know that I do read and that you are all in my heart (as much as i can fit) and i just thank to the up above that there are so many helping and supportive people out there. Thank you! Red

Thank you for all your prayers and support. This is a very hard thing to do and i know at the end, ill have a break. I am trying to be as strong as i can! Thank you again Hugs!!!!!

I have been poping in and seeing whats going on around here, but my life has been quite crazy for the past month or so. My mom isnt doing so well. She was admitted to Hospice inn (short term hospice) in mid march. She stabelized with her pain meds so a few weeks ago we brought her to a very good nursing home. She has been bedbound for awhile now, but she was still aware and fiesty as ever. The past few days she has started to detieriate very quickly (at least in my mind). her mobility in her left side went from minimal to none, she complains of tummy pains and very painful knee pain. The doctors think that she is internally bleeding in the tummy area and that the cancer has spread to her bones in her leg/knee. Today was very upsetting for me. For the past few days when my son and I came to see her, she would wake up, smile and blow kisses to my son. She would ask me to get her a sip of soda or something and then fall asleep for a bit and wake up when Jory would make noise or drop a toy and then she would say hello.. well today i walk towrds her room and she is calling for her mother, then we walk in and i almost hit the floor. she was white as a ghost with a horrible yellow tone. her lips were white. she looked at me like she was trying to remember me and kept calling for her mom. The nurse told me that she has stopped eating. she just layed there looking like she was in the most horrible pain ever. She couldnt ta;lllk anymore, only little mumbles. I felt so scarred and I just wanted to do something to help her but there was nothing. I dont know what to expect or to say. I think I am just realizing that this is the end and i just dont want it to be. I just wanted to update, if anyone rememnered me, even tho i dont post much.

thats is so wonderful! Congrats to you and your family. What a wonderful gift!

WOW! Congrats! What a great feeling and wonderful time this is! My mom says that a Grandmas duty is to spoil her grandkids. Spoil them rotten with anything, but mostly hugs and kisses and tons of love!
