I read the poem guineapigmum and I love it. It is so appropriate for our cirumstances and I thank you so much to your concern.

Al-anon helped me find my higher power Rosiero, but I was very stubborn and it took a long time of "working the steps to the best of my ability" before I had my spiritual awakening despite myself!

What a journey you are on.

So, do they really have a diagnosis this time, or is this another guess? Do you have the result of the liver biopsy yet? Poor OG, and poor you. You must neither of you know what to think.

I'm glad to hear that you now have plenty of help and support, at least. Still thinking of you and sending good and supportive thoughts.

*Hugs*

Thank the Lord that you are, at the very least, receiving good nursing care. You have such a burden on your shoulders, dear one, and however you approach it, you are going to need support, faith, sound medical advice, snf lots of love and continued prayers.

I understand OG needs you but you must lean on your support systems, too.

2009-12-04T11:20:13.132Z

I don't think I do much praying these days but I've certainly been thinking about you both and I hope that counts. I'm really sorry to hear that OG is so ill. I've just read this Patience Strong poem on someone else's blog (you most certainly need a big dose of strong patience at the moment) and though you might appreciate it: http://oldpoetry.com/opoem/98967-Patience-Strong-The-Faith-That-Moves-The-Mountains

I think you are right that intellect interfers with you accepting there is a Higher Power. That is my problem at the moment. So sorry to hear you are going through this ordeal and hope you both come out safely on the other side soon.

Words are inadequate but we are there with you both every step of the way surrounding you with love.

Yes, and with the amount of prayers going out for you and OG, I'm not the least bit surprised at the walls tumbling down...prayers ascending, now as always!

Your hugs and kisses are making me feel so much better Mare. The warmth and love that we are receiving from everyone is unbelievable and very humbling.

Isn't cancer just the most awful thing Mary Mary? Give your sister my best regards. I hope that things turn out well for her and her husband.

I have only one thing to say Maggie, what a bastard. I know that you don't swear and I hope you don't mind me being course, but I can't think of anything else to say.

Our company is a great supporter of McMillan Maggie, in fact one of my colleagues is on the executive committee.

You are very wise VM, thank you.

Hi R&C! I'm so sorry that you all are having to go thru this especially around the holidays. I guess you just have to count your blessings and give the rest up to the universe. I believe that OG will pull thru just fine. At least you now have a name for what you have to face. You guys are in my thoughts & prayers & will be there until this all gets better. Sending hugs & hope across the ocean.

I have been following your journey with OG each day and you have been in my prayers. It is hard to understand why these things happen. Why there is so much pain in the world. My dear sister is going through the same ordeal. Her husband has just finish 8 months of chemotherapy during which he was so ill. He has now turned the corner and is now feeling so much better. I hope that you dear husband will be blessed in that way soon.

I am having to live hour by hour at the moment and am about to undergo aggressive chemotherapy.
I don't suppose it is God's will at all that any of us are sick. Sickness is in the world...... allowed for a while.
We can receive help to overcome/stand up to it.

I am pleased that you have the answer to your prayers.I hope that there is something that the specialists can do to alleviate it for OG. In the meantime we have to be childlike in trust and lose the feeling that WE are in control because we aren't.
It is essential to have people keep praying, as I am losing my ability to do that.... but not my faith.

McMillan Nurses are the best thing since sliced bread and we need to support them anyway we can. In fact we really need to sink our money into fighting this blasted disease.

Best wishes to OG X

RC , its very difficult to be rationale or logical when faced with someone you love being so ill
All you can do is your best and do what suits OG best , because the more comfortable and settled he feels the more his body can fight
Strange d wonderful things do happen for all sorts of reasons and why question why , just be happy that they do
Hope you are ok
