He's beautiful!!! Sue

Shrimp, Sometimes, it's just uplifting to find someone who understands how we feel. We are so blessed to have this site . I can't tell you how many times that I thought I was alone in my feelings and someone came along expressoing the same... it was a comfort to me to know that I wasn't alone. I felt normal once again... You are always welcome here. Be yourself and share with us. Hugs, Sue

Maryanne and Joel, You will continue to be on my prayer list. I just know it's gonna work. Wondering if this might be an answer for my mom... hmmm God Bless. Hugs, Sue

Sharon, This sounds like really good news. I get to go for an Echo tomorrow because my last EKG wasn't "normal".. and because I'm short of breath. I will keep the prayers coming for you and I would appreciate one back , please. You take good care of yourself. You have lots of precious folks in your life who need you. Hugs, Sue

(((Dar))), It's good to hear from you. Wish I could say something to make things easier for you. The one thing I can say , with certainty, is that you are always among friends who care and understand when you come here. You come here and share with us , anytime. I know what you mean when you say that other folks don't get it. Hugs, Sue

Shrimp, So nice that your husband took you away for the weekend. You really need to be patient with yourself right now. Grieving is such a complicated process and not the same for all of us , but in many ways the same. So much of what you write about , many of us can relate to and we DO understand. Hang in there and keep in touch. Hugs, Sue

Haley, I'm so sorry to read that your mom hasn't been doing well. I do want to add to what Patti and Sandra have said about decadron. It most certainly is a mind altering drug. Steroids in general tend to make people more aggressive, irritable, short of patience and there is even such a thing as "steroid psychosis". My husband actually went through a period of not knowing what he was doing due to the combination of high doses of prednisone and other drugs. It's hard, I know, but keep in mind that your mom can't help the way she is acting. Hope things are soon better . Sue

My condolences to Mark's family and friends. Sue

Joe, It's good to hear that you are doing well and enjoying your life. Hope the treatment works exactly as it is hoped to do. Please keep in touch. Hugs, Sue

Gail, Glad you dropped in and it's really good to hear that you are doing well. Keeping busy is a good thing. Don't stay away too long. Hugs, Sue

Robyn, I am so very sorry for your loss. My sympathy to you and your family. We will be here if you need us. Sue

Kasey, I have no idea how I missed this before, but I've read it over now. I'm so very sorry you are living with so much pain. I want you to know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers for tomorrow. Hugs, Sue

Great News , Rob!!! Please do share your 1 year with us too. Sue

Happy One Year anniversary and onward to many many more. Hugs, Sue

Now Lynn, did you say you let Nick have a snake in the house????? ... I think you have really gone above and beyond in the mom department. Don't look back, live for today. I , too , believe Larry is looking over you both. You should be so proud of Nick and proud of yourself too. Hugs, Sue

((((Patti)))), Welcome back!!! You have been missed. So very sorry you have had to go through all of this. Glad that you at least have some helpful and caring neighbors, but they are pretty lucky to have you there too. It feels a lot better around here with you back. Hugs, Sue
