| | | | Update:
as a few of you already know, this last year has been a most difficult one ~
my daughters botched surgery, my botched surgery~the mesh patch recalled~
never say things cannot become worse, for as sure as you say those words, it will~
it was difficult to hear that three of my closet friends are fighting with all their might against cancer, but these last two weeks have just about taken all i have to keep my mind and i am trying SO hard to remain a tower of strength and the rock i have always been known to be~however;
finding out two weeks ago after extensive tests and meeting with a neuro specialist that my daughter has psuedotumor cerebri and of the possibility of blindness/death~has been almost impossible to bear.
there is no cure for this disease i am told~and only 1 out of 100/200, 000 get it~they are not positive what causes it~trauma to the head~harmone embalance~birth control medicines~ weight among a few things can be the culprit~
there is only one medication that can be given~but it is not a miracle drug to extract the excessive fluid from around the brain~
in the 200 patients this specialist has seen, he said that he had never seen so much fluid in a person and they are still able to see let alone capable of functioning~so much fluid that it appears the brain has tilted backwards and may have dropped and might be pressing on the spinal cord~
in two weeks after this medication had been in the system, they will take her off of it for two days and do a MRI to see "IF" there is a tiny cancerous tumor known to cause this~
if one is not found, then a shunt will be placed in either the brain, the optic nerve, or in the spine and a tube ran to into the abdomen to empty the fluid there~
they also found a large cyst in her nasal cavity which will be removed but is no contributing factor with the other problem~
my daughter is only 28 yrs old~and was told even with a shunt, she may still go blind~and i refuse to repeat the other possibility~
she has an 8 yr old daughter~my granddaughter and her husband of nine years~
to say we have not been hit hard with this news would be a lie~she is dealing with anger, hurt, disbelief ~mood swings from you know where~and reality~
i on the other hand am suppose to remain the rock she has always known ~i am trying~she will never see the ocean of tears i cry~
i ask all who know me~if they will remember my daughter in prayer and all those who have this disease as well~and to remember my friends with cancer as well~
this has not been written well ~but it is the best i can do for now~
i miss all of my friends~but you understand why i am not around~
love to all~blessed be~

| | | | dear murry,
my heart goes out to you and your family during this time of pain and suffering. the trials you each are facing and the burden you carry on your shoulders are impossible to imagine. it is my fervent wish that you each stand strong, leaning on the Lord, and allow Him to provide the comfort, strength, and answers that you seek. do not be afraid to cry or to admit your hardship. it is a privilege to offer intercession for you in your time of need. i will lift you all up in prayer with my fellow Sisters in Christ. in the meantime, in the midst of your tears and questions, remember the joy which sustains and heals. peace and blessings to you all.
in love and Spirit,
princess

"My only hope for a deep love. A loss of myself to someone, not merely a loss to all that strives to break me down and remake me. But a loss to someone that is sublimely cruel, sublimely good at mastering. Someone who might somehow in the blaze of my suffering, see the depth of submission and love me also."

| | | | Dear sweet murry sis,
My heart aches right now hearing this news. This year truly has not been kind to you or yours. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Remember, a rock does crumble over time and if you need to crumble, know that those who care about you are there to gather up the pieces gently and will lovingly put them back together.
May the strength that you have continue to hold you up in these trying days, but know that we as your friends, will send you our strength as well.
Peace be with you and yours,
Dawn |
