Thank you!I'm a happy camper. I would have gotten this position at the store I'm out now, back in December if I hadn't had to have my gall bladder removed. But why remember that.
Thanks.
Thank you!! It was a fantastic weekend. I had to work one of the days, but the Sat. I had off, we had a great time as a family. We attended an Ethnic Festival that one of the daughters was volunteering at and enjoyed all sorts of music and different foods. Even did a bit of shopping.Congrats on the promotion, friend. I wish you the best of weekends.
*hugs for Red and snuggles from the fussy little lynx*
Thank you beautiful. I love the fussy one and you too. 
They don't know how fast this is moving through her, since they just diagnosed it. She is too see another doctor in July and then her MS doctor (who diagnosed her) in September. I don't get why the long span of time between visits.
*huggles for Red* That really stinks hun!
On (hopefully) happier news how's the new job going?
That baby is looking so beautiful...*hugs for Red from mama and baby lynx*
*hugs* Thank you. hugs
Red.
After reading your post, it reminded me of a saying that I used many times in the past. "Never underestimate the power of a child" I used it in the context of the miracles that I used to see on a regular basis. Children, when faced with these types of things see adversity in a totally different way than we can ever imagine. At 9 your son is innocent. He doesn't see failures, only ways to succeed. He may shed some light on this in ways that you never saw.
I have been surrounded by children with adversity, death within mere hours, and have been touched by the words that they have spoken to me and the hugs that I have received. Allow your son to be a part of your sisters life as much as possible. To him this will be just the way his aunt is, and that is that.
He doesn't need to know what Novantrone is or what Tysabri does. He doesnt care about T-cells or macrophages. All he knows is that his Aunt is fighting to get better, and with the information that he is reading he has a base knowledge of what is wrong. You are doing the right thing to keep it normal. Be honest with him at every turn. You will be surprised at what he will learn and teach.
As for you, Thank you for being strong for her. She is going to need all the support she can get. Lean on those who I know have been in contact with you, for they through being there for you, are actually gaining a renewed strength for themselves.
Have a great holiday and hope to see you hopping among the threads soon.
<steps off soapbox>
Thank you. I feel it is better to be honest and truthful whenever one can in whatever type a situation it is. He is also a very bright and overly intelligent kid for the age of 9. He has a mind that absorbs knowledge like a sponge. (He's currently been reading his 8th grade sister's science book). They are very much appreciated. I am sure in time I'll be more frequent on the threads. It's just some things are taking precedent over my "Lit-life". *sigh*
(((Hugs)))
I'm here, just not always here... *sigh*
The sister is doing okay. The treatments have done what they are supposed to do ... I guess. Though she seems to be experiencing more things now that the steroids have taken swelling down.
I finished one book on MS and have passed it along to her, as well as ordered more. Informed family I think is the best kind of family to be.
I'm tired.
We leave on a family vacation tomorrow. We're heading West to Yellowstone. Anyone know of anywhere I should visit that tourist wouldn't normally go see?
I'm sorry I've not been around. I'm doing soul searching (I think that is what it is called).
Thank you though for missing me. I've missed you all too.
Sending lots of hugs, love, and prayers your way. Pass some along to your family. *hugs*
Have a wonderful time on your vacation....stay safe.
Thank you very much. For everything.
