Well, I am still lurking around, but I don't post much these days. I just wanted to say, again, thank you for all the well wishes and prayers; and give an update.
My wife was on track for full remission of cancer earlier this year, then her oncologist literally packed up the office, shut down, and left for who knows where. His records have been moved to my oncologist, but as of right now she still hasn't been able to get in to see him. Upside, she had one clean visit left before her oncologist "officially" declared her cancer free and full remission. Downside is we probably won't be able to get her back in to an oncologist until fall because of everything else going on with family and the world. Allergies from this season are eating us both up, but other than that it is looking great. Thank the good Lord.
Me. Still plenty of issues with both mental and physical health, but I am hanging in there. I'm writing again, which is a big step, but it is hard for me on most days to do anything at all.
My uncle is in the hospital. Doctors don't know why he is still alive. Short version is dialysis turned into hemo-dialysis which turned into heart failure. He can't breathe without a ventilator, they can't do dialysis because his heart fails (6 times so far they have had to jump start his ticker) within' minutes of the start, and without dialysis his system is poisoning him. The upside is they predicted he would never wake up again and would pass almost a month ago. He is awake, can follow you with his eyes, squeeze a hand, control the hospital tv remote, and his BP is verging on normal again. We have no illusions, he doesn't have long, and we have been expected it for a long while; but in all honesty his hanging on seems to be God's will more than anything else. My Aunt believes (and I agree with her) that it is somebody working in the hospital the Lord is trying to effect change in. Medically there is no explanation, so here we are.
The family is mostly in good shape. We are blessed, there are alot that aren't as fortunate. Anyway, still lurking around. I'm praying for ya'll too.
Thanks again my friends, and God Bless.
