I'm hoping this is where my wife was posting all the time. I know she loves this forum and she hasn't been posting in quite some time. For those that have read her posts and knows who she is, I was just letting them know that she has been in the hospital and sick for quite some time now. She has Metastatic Brain cancer and is not doing very well. I hope this topic gets to the people that she conversed with so much. thank you!

Oh, I'm so sorry about your wife. I will keep her in my prayers and thoughts~!!! How are you holding up?? I know how hard it is for you to see your wife not doing good. I'm so sorry and remember we all are here for you and her. I feel so bad and my heart aches for your wife. Because this is very serious and she is only 44. I will lift her name up to the Lord. I don't know what else to say except I'm deeply sorry!!! I just called her, but she was on her cell phone! I talked to the nurse and she said to call back later! I'm sorry I missed her and I did not get to talk to her! Please tell her Meeka's Mom called today!!!
God Bless you and take care of yourself!

Thank you all. I will let her know that Meeka's Mom tried to call. I also appreciate your gesture. She is the strong one here as she has been battling her Kidney Cancer for over 3 yrs. It just matastisized to her brain a little over 4 months ago. It is also very saddening to say that she only has a few more months to live. Right now her hospital stay is due to her not having been able to eat for over 3 wks now. She is being administered fats, protiens, etc.. thru IV. She is not doing well and all we have right now are ours, yours, and everyone else's prayers to help her along. Thanks again!

She never said a word about her sickness. I can't stop thinking about her and YES she is a strong amazing lady. I will put her name on our prayer list. Please tell her I'm thinking of her and I truly do care~! I know the Lord is taking care of her and I asked the Lord to put angels around you and her. Yes that what breaks my heart, I knew when I read it she does'nt have just a few more months, but I believe God can do miracles and she is a fighting!!!
You take care and if you need something let me know and I will see what I can do for you. My husband is a Nurse so if you have any question he can answer them for you.
But I'm sure they are doing a wonderful job at the hospital she is at.
God bless you and your wife~!!

Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner. I lost Lanell's password to here, but was finally able to retrieve it and I have it saved now. I've told lanell of all your thought's and prayers and she has received a couple cards that I have read to her. She is home now with what the Dr's say may be days or a few weeks at the most to live. I treid last nite to be able to let her post to you but as I stated, I lost her password and she was unable to remember it. Now that I have it, I will try to see if she would like me to post something for her hopefully next week. Again, thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. They are greatly appreciated. Bobby
BTW, all the birds are doing fine and ziggy is beginning to talk and mimic. She smiles when she hears him.
