Support thread for those with cancer, terminal illness, or any life altering physical ailment. For caregivers as well

Brian is still in the hospital, and I do not have an update on him. The last I heard, the infection is not going away.
Beverly is not doing very well. Her kidneys have failed. They started dialysis tuesday. She is in a lot of pain from the surgery. She is talking like she doesn't think she is going to make it this time. She said the kids will be OK.:(

My little grandson Kacee, who will be 5 next month, is having oral surgery at the hospital tomorrow. The oral surgeon is crowning all of his molars. He has to be under anesthesia for this. Bad teeth seem to run in my son-in-laws family. :(

Please include my friend Brian, and my family in your prayers.

Firstly my thoughts are with all of you going thru a tough time.

Well, my story is..........
Gave up my baker job of 8 years to move towns and be with my lovely partner, she already had 3 kids and i decided it was easier for me to move than to uproot the little ones.

a few years on and my partner fell really ill with intencse ulcerative colitis so i had to quit my job to take care of her and run everyone around. all was looking on the up and up and so i started working again and furthering my studies on IT. when my parter started going down hill again but alot worse this time. going against my opinion my partner has been on drug trial after drug trial with no real let up of her situation.
ontop of all that, this happened

[link to www.stuff.co.nz]

now for the last year just been dealing with test after test after test, my daughter has changed from an outgoing high achiever to a quite almost failing at school.

have tried everything i can think of but it sucks seeing my partner and girl in this way and there is nothing i can do about it.

Daily struggles of watching my partner rocking back and forth holding her stomach moaning in pain.

i now this is nothing compared to alot of posts on here but even just venting this is easing some of my mind set.

with all the doctors visits, kids stuff, daughters counciling, kids sports umongst all the household duties i am so run down and now the government has decided she is not sick enough to keep paying us and are trying to force one of us into work, more pressure on her than me for some reason which has just made me mad. until all this i have worked all my life and see all these other no-hopers on the benifit who can work but decide to milk the system.

TIRED AND MAD from NZ :(

I got 2 prayer requests, friends.

One is for my sister-in-law, Beverly, the sister of my late first husband. She had heart surgery the day before yesterday. The doctors couldn't do all the repairs they thought they could, as her heart is too damaged. They fixed half of what they planned to do.She is diabetic,blind, and a double amputee. She is raising 4 of her grandchildren, one of whom is disabled. They are ages 18, 17, 11, and 9.The kids need her. They have no one else.

The other one is for my friend Brian. He is in the hospital for an infection in his left leg. The doctors had amputated the lower part of left leg, below the knee, 2 months ago, and the stump will not heal up. I have known him most of my life, as we went to school together. The poor guy had to sit behind me in the classroom every year(alphabetical seating), and I was a terror, just ask Brian ! He needs to heal, and get fitted with an artificial lower leg, so he can do things for himself again.

Thank you all !!!

Absolutely

Glad to hear the grandson is doing well. It's pretty traumatic for someone so young. Safe or not, it always makes you nervous when they put a child under anesthesia.
