Kitt,

I hope and pray that things are going well for your sister today and that your anxiety for her is easing or at least losing the battle to your coping strategies.

Love and hugs,

Oh the roller coaster I ride............this morning my sister's breathing tube was removed and this afternoon it was put back in as she did not tolerate it well.

We seem to go around and around.  She has asked for her other children to come from North Dakota and they will be here tomorrow.  I am glad as I believe they need to be here for her.

Also tomorrow is her 68th birthday.

They now believe her abdomen is riddled with cancer, kidneys are still failing but her heart problems seem to have stablized.

I will stay here one more night and then I will need to go home to my own hubby for awhile.

Your prayers and kind words are good medicine.

Love

Kitt

I don't know how you're doing it hon. You're dealing with all this and you still come here and support all of us. Please take care of yourself too. You might be...I don't know...I just know some people help everyone else to either avoid the stress they're under or because they feel the need to take care of everyone else first. If that's the case remember you need hugs and support too. You don't have to be strong all the time. *hugs*

Dearest Kitt,

I send you my strength, my love, my support as always. I hate feeling this helpless. I wish there was something I could do. Please accept my most sincere and heartfelt prayers. You are an inspiration to us all. I would tell you to slow down, to take care of you first, but I know you too well!

If you need to vent, to let this out, to stop being superwoman for a little while. Know I am here to hold you up.

Love,

Meg

Skitt your prayer warriors are working overtime for you and your family. I think that might be a good idea for you to go home for awhile and be with your Hubby. Maybe some downtime is called for to help you re-coop a little. Hopefully her kids will get there soon, so they can help to relieve the load a little. As always, be sure to take care of you too!

Love,
Gail *Nanners*

Kitt,

I'm soooooo sorry I haven't been here sooner.  I've been "disconnected" the last week.  I am just catching up with the messages here tonight.  I am sorry to hear about your sister.  Please know that I am sending you strength, support and healing thoughts and prayers and lots of HUGGLES.

Thanks for the Huggles and prays.  I am home right now and slept in my own bed last night................I am sitting here torn between beingwith my sister and being at home.  I know she has other family right now so this is my turn to take a break.  Still waiting for the bazillion test.

I am close to tears so will just close this post with I love you all and thank goodness I have you in my life.

Hugs

Kitt

We love you too Skitt. Again I want to ask you to take care of you too. Remember you are only a phone call away, take the time to rest and recoop. I know you will feel better for taking a little time to yourself.

Hugs,
Gail *Nanners*

Kitt,

I hope you're getting some well-needed rest and that you'll feel stronger mentally and physically after this chance to take care of yourself. Snuggle with the dog and the hubby, and know that all of us are wrapping you in love.

My circadian rhythm is a bit messed up from being up 5 nights in a row and napping at the hospital.  It is 4:00 AM and I am awake and was starting down the "stinkin thinkin" road...................so I hauled my body to my puter to talk to all of you and now I am back in the moment.  It is an early moment turn .

I did not get any emergency call in the middle of the night so that is a positive sign.

Blessing to all of you
Kitt

No "stinkin thinkin" allowed. No phone call lastnight is a good thing too. I am glad you were able to enjoy a little down time and snuggle with the Hubby and dog. So did you and Hubby get to watch that movie??

Keeping you all in my prayers.

Hugs,
Gail *Nanners*

Kitt,

Just wanted to check in and see how you and your sister are doing. I am glad to hear that you've been home a bit and taking care of yourself, though I understand the feeling of being torn between home and being at the hospital. My thoughts and prayers remain with both of you.

Kitt (aka superwoman)

I really hope and pray things are going okay at the hospital and questions are being answered.

Remember we love you, we will catch you if you need to fall.

Love, hugs, cups of .....

Kitt.... my heart goes out to you. I'm not sure how you are managing all this... it's no surprise to see how your strength and courage are carrying you through all this.... and that you are on this forum , supporting and caring for others as well. The world is blessed to have such a soul walking this earth , helping us cope and carrying our hurts as well as yours.
You must have the biggest and strongest shoulders anyone has ever seen!!! You'll start looking like those olympic swimmers with shoulders the width of a barn! HA! Or you'll be so stoopped over from the weight of it all that all you'll see are your own feet. I'm joking ! and maybe this isn't a time for jokes...but my point is, I'm glad you are taking some time to take care of you!!!!! I know you want to be with your sister right now...but you have to regain your strength and make sure you don't end up really sick.... her children are with her now, which is the way it should be...but they will also need your strength in the days or weeks to come.
I'm praying for you dear Kitt.... and my heart breaks every time I think of all you are going through.
Please take good care of yourself. Let your hubby spoil you a bit. And by all means.... cry, if you need to cry! The good Lord didn't give us tears for nothing. Don't bottle everything up and try to be strong for everyone else. I used to keep a journal when I couldn't let myself go because of other responsabilities.... it helped.
Love you dear Kitt. God Bless you and Keep you and send you Peace! little moments of respite.
Mary
P.S. If the wide shoulder thing was in poor taste.... I'm sorry!

Skitt just wanted to let you know I am thinking about you today and sending (((BIG HUGS)))
Posted 8/22/2008 4:14 PM (GMT 0)

Good Morning All,

Mary........I have a good sense of humor, God blessed me with that smilewinkgrin Thank you for you kind comments.........your words are truly appreciated.

Nanners, Rachel, Junebug and Megs............thank you for being you!  Each of you brings meaning to my day.  I spent yesterday at the hospital. We now know we have a primary ovarian cancer for sure.  They are planning the breast biopsy for Monday at this time.  If there is cancer there it would be it's own separate cancer.

The plan they laid out for us last night is long..................chemo, Respiratory therapy, physical therapy, possible transfer to a trans care unit as she could not be alone and then operate so if they operate it may be 3 months down the road.

I am overwhelmed and my poor sister was devestated as she would have to stay in Minneapolis and not be able to go home to her own place in North Dakota.

We talked and I told her to just take one day at a time..........one babystep after the other.  We will hold her up.

I keep my overnight bag packed so I can go if called but will try to stay home today.  I will probably go up tomorrow just for visit but have been requested by my neice to come on suday for sure and stay until Monday night.

When I am home I wash clothes, nap, let my hubby spoil me and try my best to stay in the moment.............my love and hugs to all

Kitt

She really has a rough road ahead of her. Please let her know we are praying for her. Glad you have some down time for yourself. Enjoy your husband's pampering and love and rest while you can. We will be here for you anytime you need us.

Hugs to you,

Kitt,

Thanks for the update sweetie. It really does sound overwhelming, but I know you will help your sister through whatever needs to be done. Now go let that wonderful hubbie of yours spoil the devil out of you. That's an order!

Love,

Meg

Good Morning,

I did have to ditch and run yesterday as my sister had to have more fluid removed from her abdomen.........1800 cc this time.  She has become very restless and is not sleeping. 

I am going to take a nap as I woke up at 6:00 AM and then get ready to go back to the hospital and will be there until Monday evening.

I will try to check in when I can as I need to find my peace here on HW and I know you are all here.

Love
Kitt

((KITT)) we will be here anytime you need us. I pray your sister gets some relief soon.
