Andrea, I have goose bumps!! I am so very very happy for you. We all know how much you have wanted a family and now God has blessed you with both a little boy and little girl . This is indeed a very special day.

I am usually 1st

Vespa, I am sorry you need to be here, but glad you found us. My husband was diagnosed 2.5 years ago and although it has been bad at times Alan is currently living a very high quality of life. This is all very overwhelming at first, but believe it or not you will find a rhythm. As others have said, do not be in a big hurry to change your mom's diet. Eating will be a very essintial part of her recovery. Alan's diet is a nutritionist nightmare, but he is eating and that's what matters. I will keep you and your mom in prayer.

Yes I do have a couple of friends that knocking is not required. I usually open the door, but yell hello as I am entering just in case

(((Missy)))

everytime I am asked this question the answer is always the same. I would be a Tiger!!

Well I have a long list of "stupid" things I have done, but will need to think a bit about the "silliest" thing I have done

Way to go Aaron This is indeed wonderful news and you are a ture inspiration on many many fronts.

Bobby, Many prayers for good CT resutls for your sister.

Yup different for winter and summer. Winter is for the flannel and summer is for the high thread count cotton.

No I do not feel guilty for not giving money to them I have given to a few, but most of the time I do not. Most all my giving now goes to the men and organizations that have kept Alan alive!!!!

You did the right thing. I have on a number of occassions cancelled "outings" I had done in the past to be with Alan. It is what felt right in my heart and my gut and I believe this is what you felt also. Go with what "feels" right for you and your Dad right now. That is what is most important. Continued prayers for both you and your Dad.

Just soap/body wash

Oh my gosh, I laughed until I cried. I think spending so much time at the hospital and reading Alan's charts and reports this really seems very funny to me.

Take a nap, in fact I have decided to take the rest of today off and tomorrow (mental Health days!!) and do that very thing. (prbably by the pool to work on the much needed tan )

Work on my tan for this years fashion show.

I am happy to hear you are on the road to recovery. Another Grandbaby how happy you must be!!! Congrats on the arrival of another bundle of joy

I know I am coming in late, but Alan also had CT scan every three months. They also check to be sure he is still empty headed!! Enjoy the time with your Mom, sounds like it will be one heck of a party!!

Tina, To say this sucks is an understatement. I do not even know what to say, but I will be praying for your entire family.

Heidi, This news really bites I hate that the beast has once again invaded your lives. Your mom is a fighter and with you in her corner I believe she will once again beat the beast back. Prayers for you and your mom.

Tracy, I am so very sorry you are dealing with this. You are not in denial, but unfortunatley your family is. I dealt with the same issue with Alan's sons. It was so infuriating that I almost lost control. It was easier for them to bury their heads in the sand, then come to grips at how very sick their Dad was. It came to the point I believe they acutally avoided Alan. So much time they lost. You Keep fighting. There will be many many people you can count on, it just might not be the ones you expected.

Levi is just too cute!!!!

This is the best news I am so happy for Bunny and Dave. Levi is a great name!!!!

Heather, Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery. hoping each and everyday becomes easier.
