Val is a good mama.

Hmmm, if the Dr. thinks it would be a good idea, then I would go to the Patient Advocate Foundation and read up on what steps you can take to appeal this decision. You may have to get the Dr. to write out WHY she needs this test. The PAF website is very helpful-http://www.patientadvocate.org/ OR you could have her call the insruace company and ask about their appeal process. I would not start paying for things out of pocket,NO WAY. I imagine a PET costs thousands of dollars, doesn't it?

This is beyond beautiful Tina. I'll have a cup of lemonade on your behalf today...

Wow, you are so very lucky to have found such an aggressive team, it is unheard of! I hope that you stay strong and positive-welcome!

Happy Easter everyone. I am having my aunt and uncle and their son over mixed with John's family and then my in-laws from my first marriage. I am glad that we will be together.

I could have recently written the same words. I want to say thank you for being here, your mom raised a wonderful son, it shows through in all of your posts. You offer a ton of support here. I'm sorry it hurts so bad.

Hope you are feeling better by the time you return!

OMG!! THAT IS SO AWESOME-GIVE MOM A HUGE HUG FROM ME AND A BIG WOOHOO!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry that this was the outcome, but I hope that his brave fight gives you courage through all of your life. (((Melinda)))

I have been thinking of you, wondering how the trip went, if it was possible, etc. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I understand feeling lost. I am so sorry.

Yes, sounds like there is a plan to have him taken care of, as he deserves. I pray that the eviction goes as easily as possible, but I guess you have to prepare for the worst in this case. So much love and prayers for you and your family Amy.

I was sitting on the deck this morning craving, wishing that my mom would just walk through the door, smiling as always, to see the garden we've been building. Last year, I bought all sorts of Spring/Easter decorations for our house and yard, thinking at the time how excited mom would be to see it all. It never came to fruition. I understand, I really do.

OMG, this is so sad. I understand everyone else's opinions, but if she is gone, is there anyone else to take care of your dad? I know your mom volunteered, is she still willing to take care of him? Hospice visits once or twice a week, but it sounds like he needs way more care than that. I am so sorry this has happened. It is just too much on top of the cancer.

Pammie, It sounds like you have to once again get on your boxing gloves and fight this new development. I pray that the mets can be treated successfully. Hang in there!

((((Donna)))

I feel that my mama is watching over me, I just feel it.

The pic is too sweet for words, love it!

Yep. I am blessed that my mom met both of my sons, but my mom made me a better mom. She always had all of the answers on how to deal with particular behaviors and stages my boys were going through. She plain and simple made me a more fun mom. Sometimes when I am griping at one of them, I think of her and how she might show me how to deal with the situation better or just be there to give me a break by entertaining them with one of her oh so silly games. God I miss her. I need her. Orphaned at 33 is not OK. I was robbed. Maybe I'll write more later

Not a wuss at all, just acceptance that you want to learn to live with all that life throws at you. I think it is a great move.

Sounds like the perfect response Sophie. You are doing the right thing.

Mammoth Cave is pretty cool, taking the kids there for the first time this spring.

Well then enjoy this moment as you should-a baby blessing, God is mysterious like that!

Oh how much this hurts me to hear this. I know the words hurt, but the fear you both have right now have the ability to make you someone else. I truly believe that and I hope you know it too. I will pray that you will get to take the trip and that you can drive carefree, singin a little Ripple... If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung Would you hear my voice come through the music Would you hold it near as it were your own? It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken Perhaps they're better left unsung I don't know, don't really care Let there be songs to fill the air (Chorus) Ripple in still water When there is no pebble tossed Nor wind to blow Reach out your hand if your cup be empty If your cup is full may it be again Let it be known there is a fountain That was not made by the hands of men There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go no one may follow That path is for your steps alone (Chorus) You who choose to lead must follow But if you fall you fall alone If you should stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home Much love and many prayers. Please update us on the trip, fingers crossed...
