Hello again
I haven't been around much lately...so much going on. We rec'd custody of my stepson, my daughter was in the hospital w/ chest pains due and DKA about a month and a half ago...then she had her arm broken by a boy at the skating rink almost 2 weeks ago...and then got an ear infection(she's the diabetic)...my son's asthma was out of control...
Then...Thursday(6 days ago) my husband (a chef) was walking w/ a pot of veal stock and his chef coat caught on the walkin door and he was burnt down his right bicep, forearm and foot. His foot took the worst of it, and has since developed cellulitis(on top of 2nd and 3rd degree burns)...and they are having me do the wound care and IV therapy here at home(workman's comp)...they had to put a PICC line in him today for the IV therapy...and his pain is still horrid(I know burns are bad)...and yet we still see the doc's and nurses at infectious diseases every week. He was the only one who worked in the house b/c my daughters diabetes is so unpredictable(seizures, etc)...and NOBODY wants to watch her...so he doesn't even get sick/personal pay at all and neither he nor I have insurance...so no cash coming in right now...w/ 4 kids to feed...and his doc appt.'s...actually, 2 different docs and a nurse)...and he can't drive...so I'm stuck driving him...I know something will come along....
On top of that, which, I know is a good thing...my aunt is finished suffering and went home to the Lord on 9/11....she held out a LOOONG time, but we are so thankful that her suffering is over(it got really bad at the end)....well, the last 2 weeks she was in a coma, but b/f that, for about 3 weeks she was in TOTAL pain....broken shoulders, ribs, collar bone, hips, femur, wrist and tumors all over. She NEVER once waivered in her faith though...praise the Lord up until she couldn't speak(or we couldn't hear her, I'm sure she did, her mouth would move and she'd smile a lot while in the coma)...
Plus, we've been through Charley and Frances...Charley hit the worst 30 miles south of us. We lost power and everything w/ both, but are blessed to still have our home and lives. I feel horrible for those who lost anything and everything, and now w/ Ivan...all those who will and are being affected.
OK, I've taken up too much time...
Please pray for my aunts family...her husband and her sons and grandchildren, the rest of us and her friends...we're so happy for her, yet sad to see her go....and for my daughter and husband that their wounds heal well....and all those dealing w/ Ivan and the remnants of Charley and Frances....
Thanks so much and God bless!!!
