hi guys, sorry I have been gone awhile. I have been at the hospital with my hubby. The doctors are giving him the long face. They say that they believe he has cancer. he is running a fever 102 to 104, His liver is very bad, he is jaundice. He sleeps all the time, and the blood test show he is not making blood or losing blood, not sure which just know he is low on blood. He has not had good health for awhile, but never this bad. And he is all the family I have anymore. It has been such a hard year with my brother and his kids all gone now, and my son so upset from Iraq and Afghanistan, now this. Just kinda lost and no one to talk to. Don't really have any real world friends because his poor health I never really went anywhere, just stayed home in case he needed something, so no one to talk to and really scared of being all alone in this old world. I will try to post in the daily prayer when get back home to stay, just here now for a little while to rest, but cant just cry. been married 24 years, so pretty use to being together, I don't want him to stay and be sick forever, but don't want to be without him either. and really don't see him ever getting well, the doctors really made it pretty clear that is not going to happen. thanks for being my friends. Dawn
 
I am praying for you and your husband. My husband also has health problems, though not as serious. But I do know what it's like to be at home alot due to health problems and the difficulties of socializing when you don't know from one day to the next.
I have always appreciated your comments in past forum replies to me and others and want you to know that there are people out there praying for you and your husband during this scarey time.
God Bless you both
warm hug coming your way

Dear Dawn,

You know your friends SA/SP love you! I know you mentioned your husband's serious health before, and you have been taking care of him, people and pets for a very long time. I am concerned about both of you, and especially that you take care of yourself now also...I know it is easier said than done. We can be here for you as online friends, so please let us :love: do what we can.... but in the real world, I'm thinking that maybe your doctor, the American Cancer Society or your church can recommend some actual support because that is important now too. I can only imagine what a difficult time this is.

In the meantime, don't worry about posting the daily prayer. You have posted so faithfully, we certainly can return to previous posts and read those messages again.

You have been a great friend to so many of us here. :angel:

Sending good thoughts and prayers your way,

Dawn, I don't know you, but I'm praying right now for you and your husband. I'm praying that the Lord will give you the strength and peace you need to carry on. I'll pray for his complete healing.

:cry: Oh Dawn, I am so sorry. I hope you know that we all love you and will be praying that God will hold you in his hands right now to give you the strength that you will need to get thru this. You are truly are remarkable person. I know you have had many trials and tribulations, but have always made your way to the light of day and know that you will make it thru this as well. Sending big hugs out to you!
 
tobby1, I know your pain, last year, 4-28, my wife of 44 yrs, had a massive heart attack. The doctors, gave her 6 mo to live. She is still here, and although still very ill, is doing ok. I am convinced that only through my, and my friends prayers that this has been made possible. Do not give up, our GOD will hear us. I will include you and yours in my prayers.
 
Dawn,

Keeping you and your husband in my thoughts and prayers today and every day. I am so glad to see so much warmth, understanding and heartfelt support at SA. :3some:
 
Dawn, I understand the concerns and fears about an uncertain future that you have. I won't take space here with my story (I started to but it got way too long). I am praying for you. If your husband is not in a teaching hospital affiliated with a university, see if you can get him in there. That is what literally saved my husband's life in 1995 after getting the dreaded "nothing more we can do" speech. I insisted he be taken to a teaching hospital and within days he had a diagnosis and began treatment and is still with me today. Not well (just cancelled our 35th anniversary trip that was planned since 2009) but still alive and sometimes kicking. All we had to hold onto many days was the faith that God was in control and that Jesus loves us. But that is enough! Hang on, sister.
 
Thank you all so much, it really helps to see all the love and prayers, most of you don't even know me, but it truly touches my heart to see how many people care. Thank you each and every one, And yes he is in a teaching hospital, but treatments are limited due to his other health issues, he is not that old, 50, but a lot of hard miles on his body. We will be bringing him home tomorrow and see from there, I am not worried about taking care of him as I was a hospice nurse for many years. Thank you all again and please keep praying as I know God can do anything and miracles still happen. My biggest fears are him suffering a long time, he has always been a real mans man, a real go geter, and since gotten sick that is one of the hardest things for him. the other fear is the future alone, but I do know God is always there, just hard to remember sometimes. God bless you all and it really is a blessing
 
Dawn, I wish I could come be with you and hold your hand through these days. I hope you will avail yourself of hospice services if you need them. You said you had been a hospice nurse so you know how important the outside support is. Don't try to go it alone. Continuing to pray for you. Please stay in touch as much as you can.
 
Thank you all, He came home today, is feeling alittle better, they did find a stone in his liver while he was there, they said they desolved it, while not solving other problems it does make him feel better some, so I take the good where ever I get it. thank you all and God bless you each,
