That we could all do to help. It is difficult to not look at your own mortality when faced with so much at once. And that snow is no help! That is awful...in May! <br /><br />My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you and your family. I am crossing my fingers that the drug company will come through for you.Momisodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06752015177628948631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19397029.post-2140133923002117652009-05-15T12:15:00.000-06:002009-05-15T12:15:00.000-06:00We now have WAY more snow than you.

I jus...Wow...I guess I should be thankful for rain. I just so want it to be nice, now. I need my yard to dry out. <br />I'm so sorry you are having one of "those" days. I know how hard it must be to think about your mom unable to pick herself back up after a fall and all the little worries that scenario can cause in your mind. It's so hard to make these decisions as our parents get older. Does your mom have one of those buttons to push that she can wear to call for help?<br />I hate that feeling of always being on edge and waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's got to be one of the worst feelings ever. I am sorry you have to be in that spot. I'm sure it can't be easy seeing other people lose their battle when you are in the midst of fighting yours. It's hard not to give up hope and tiring to have to keep struggling through each new battle. <br />I hope you will be approved for the medication to be available to you at little or no cost. <br />When I think about you coming here, I think how nice it will be to see you, but I sometimes forget the actual reasons behind your visit. I know you will bounce back from your feelings and rally round but I feel bad for you that you have to be so down in the dumps for right now. Here's sending some cheer dust your way and hope you feel better soon. I'm falling asleep. I will talk to you later, or maybe tomorrow.The Invisible Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03107206868621716874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19397029.post-24634996331902811232009-05-14T23:44:00.000-06:002009-05-14T23:44:00.000-06:00sounds like a tough day!

We don't always know why things happen the way they do.( this may be a good thing)I do pray that you will get the funding for the drugs John needs and more than that, we continue to pray that John will be healed of this cancer and that he would not need any drugs anymore.<br /><br />God bless you Chris and I pray that you have a very good night sleep and a great day tomorrow with only good news. <br />I love you sister!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08703116506521270483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19397029.post-67696265273294046172009-05-14T20:46:00.000-06:002009-05-14T20:46:00.000-06:00no wonder you're feeling blah. i'm so sorry everyt...no wonder you're feeling blah. i'm so sorry everything is depressing you right now. my prayer is that that will soon change. hope you have a light and easy weekend.<br /><br /><I>Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

But you always tend to seek the positive side of things and that is soooooo good Christine! I am sure that you will be able to convince the pharmaceutical company to give the necessary drug for free. I happen to have worked for a pharmaceutical company producing drugs for animals, and I am well aware of the scandalous profits they make! Human medicine works the same way! It is absolutely outrageous!<br />Big hug from Belgium!Bientjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714698938547172233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19397029.post-86720392813152488912009-05-14T14:39:00.000-06:002009-05-14T14:39:00.000-06:00D-I-V-O-R-C-E that is what would happen to Lucy....D-I-V-O-R-C-E that is what would happen to Lucy.
