SORRY, SORRY, SORRY

So sorry, to Charmed Mom, I forget that I now need to moderate the comments. I will try to do better to watch for them!

Sorry I have not posted much lately. Been very busy walking and trying to stay connected with my new trend of eating less. Takes a lot of energy, but feeling better and better each day.

Sorry, I had only two days with our kids this past week. Trent and Mindy were here and it went by so fast.....but, we enjoyed them so much. It does make me miss them even more. All the family together was such a treat. I feel so grateful for my family and love them all.

So sorry to hear my friend did not get good news yesterday. My dearest friend in all the world (aside from my husband!) had breast cancer several years ago and was doing quite well until.....
Yesterday, she went to the doctor because she had shortness of breath and tightness in her back. She thought she had a chest cold or fighting some allergy related problem. The doctor thought at first she had pneumonia. Turns out she has pulmonary emboli or clots in her lungs. She was sent immediately to bed with massive doses of blood thinner. She is being taken care of well by her famiily doctor and oncologist who is about 2 1/2 hours away in another town. But she needs our prayers....big time.

When I talked with Gina last night, she is understandably shaken by the fact that in all probability, she should not be here today. She could have dropped dead at any time carrying the clots around. So, she is being very careful and still, allowing the blood thinner to do its magic and thin the clots out. Please pray for Gina and her family. A lot of events are coming up in their life in the next 9 months and she should be around to experience them.

Besides, I need her more than ever!
