Hi everyone.
Well, I guess there comes a time when all you can do is ask for help. As of late, my family is going through the ringer and I've come to ask all of you to please pray for all of us.
First my grandma had to be in the hospital. She had built up fluid and the doctors said she had congestive heart failure. She is home now, but unfortunately, she's not doing as well as we had hoped. Then, my mom has to go into the hospital and she has a bladder infection that so far is not getting much better. But the topper to all this is that last night we got the news that one of my mom's cousin, who was a police officer was shot and I'm sad to say, he did not make it through. She took this news really hard and it's made it even harder on me. So please, just help us out and thank for listening to me.
:bighug:

Dani you know I will pray for things to get better for you. These are difficult times. I know it can be quite tough so I'll have you in my prayers... :bighug: A big hug for you.....

Dani. I will be praying for your grandmother

Prayers just said... Hope thisngs go better for your family. Peace & God Bless. The Freddie family is here for ya...

Please know that you and your family are in my prayers during thius difficult time.
Luv ya
and please keep us posted

Dani,
I will add your family and their needs to my prayer list. My religion classes pray, and I have two of them, so I get to do it twice a day. The kids in school are great about praying for people. You and your family will be in our prayers. Keep us up to date on how things are going.

Dani,my prays and thoughts are with you.I hope things get better.:bighug:

Thank you all so very, very much! :bighug:
This week has really been a week you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy, but I think things are trying to get better. My mom's starting to heal a bit, but slowly. She will in the hospital a bit longer.
My grandma is still not doing very well, and the fluid has come back. She's not in the hospital yet, and we're hoping medicine will work.
As for the cousin we lost, we are all very sad about the whole situation as it was just a very sad situation. If you would like to know that whole story, please let me know and I'll show the newspaper link to the story.
Thank you once again for helping me and my family through all of this. You are all angels!

I missed this thread the first time. I'm so sorry and I'll be praying for you and your family.

Even though I'm not a regular poster here on the CATM board, and I don't know you all very well, I'd like you to know that I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as well. I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin and the news about your grandmother. :(

Dani,

I just read your post for the first time today, and am so sad that you are going through this. Please know that I am thinking of you, and wishing you and you family the best.

Sandra

Thank you very much!
I got a somewhat update to report. Mom MAY get to come home tomorrow. It's a wait and see type thing. I went to see my grandma tonight and she really didn't look very well. She was really tired. I'm hoping that the medicine she is on will help her feel better.
I just want to let all of you know that I am very grateful for all your well wishes. It has helped me at least keep part of my sanity!;) Thank you once again!

Dani, I'm praying for you and your family. I'm sorry for the loss of your mom's cousin.
They probably put your grandma on a diuretic medicine to pull of excess fluid--sometimes it may take awhile, depending on how bad the CHF is...
Hope your mom gets to feeling better!
Don't forget to take care of yourself as well during this time! :bighug:

HI!;)
Mom is home. She will have a nurse through the weekend, but she is home. The funeral for our cousin will be today. Can't go, but will be thinking about him. Grandma surprised us and called to check on Mom. She's not feeling much better, but she's hanging in there. Thanks to all!
:bighug:

Glad your mom is home now! :) Hope your grandma gets better soon!

Great news about your mom, and i'm sure now that she is in her own home she will do even better...as Dorothy said there's no place like home.
Your Grandma sounds like a spunky gal

:bighug:

Hi all!
Well, I have been scarce because of what I'm about to tell you. This whole weekend has been full of fear and tears for me.
First off, last Monday, not this past Monday, my grandma took a turn for the worse. It was very bad, and by Saturday, she passed away. It was a hard blow for our whole family.:( Tuesday was the funeral which was very hard for all of us and a day I have dreaded for so long.
I just wanted to let you all know that I just didn't have the Mother's Day I had planned on, but I'm so glad that all of you did.

So sorry to hear about your Grandma. May God be with you & your family at this time. Prayers just said...

I know our parents are very dear to us, but there is something about a grandparent that is such a special gift in our lives. I know, I had one of my grandfathers live to be 95 and he was such a blessing in my life. He is missed every day. I know you believe in God's grace and we know that those we love are with Him.... death is but a door to another place, one where we will see those we love again someday. I will have all of your family in prayer.

Dani,
I am slorry to hear of your loss. Memories of her will always be with you during your time of healing. May the memories you have of her bring you joy in your heart, mind and spirit. It will take time to heal over her passing as I believe reflecting on her life and her spirit of living will keep her alive in your heart always. My prayers are with you and your family Dani!

Dani i'm so sorry for your loss i just returned from vacation and saw your post I am so sorry. If you need to talk you know where i am. luv ya

So sorry to hear about your grandmother. May God welcome her with open arms. Keep all your memories of her close to your heart. She is smiling...because she is finally reunited with her beloved husband. I hope your heart will begin to heal very soon.
You and your family are in our thoughts.
