please pray for my nephew

[joy]

Well, they did the heart cath today, along with a biopsy, but won't be able to make a positive diagnosis until the results come back. He is stable, but still in serious condition, and still in the ICU. He is at the U of M(university of Minnesota) so he is in good hands. It just seems so unfair that he can't seem to get a break. I have been getting updates from my mom, and haven't talked to my brother yet, but I will let him know that everyone on the forum is pulling for him as soon as I talk to them. I feel helpless because I live so far away from them and can't see him. It's weird, I grew up with him...I was 8 when he was born, and spent a lot of time with him and his entire family while I was growing up. Thank you for all your support, I have meen very worried about him.

Ross...he had a liver transplant, so doesn't have the dificiency any more, but has had problems with his auto immune system for a long time. I don't know what is the better one to have...myocarditis or the auto immune thing? WHich is the easiest to deal with? Poor guy!

Sorry about this...need to VENT!

I have been having a BAD day today! I woke up this morning, because I had an ultrasound to find out why I have this pain in my c-section scar, went to get gas, and forgot to put the gas cap on...noticed it, and moved my car out of the way, and while I was running to the damn cap, some B@*ch sped up and ran over it in her rush to get gas(there we a lot of other pumps open). She was driving one of those luxury SUV's, so of coarse she smashed it to smitherenes. SHould have heard the language I used when I approached her! I'm sorry but when you see someone running toward their GAS CAP, I would think you would try NOT to hit it!

Anyways, when i got to Kevin's work, to trade cars(he had to take the kids), he was late and we got in this huge fight because instead of waiting patiently out in my car(while Ian and Erik were fighting and screaming), I went in to see what was up. I got to my appointment and they told me that it is just scar tissue and "unfortunately when you have multiple surgeries, scar tissue is painful too."

I got home, and Kevin was still being a jerk, and finally he walked up and gave me a hug, and I just started bawling because of Sidney, and everything just bringing me to the boiling point. Another thing is...I got jipped out of $480 on my last paycheck, which we needed. The manager never called me back, even though he was there. If he doesn't call me back, I will sue them. They jipped me too much, this is a big one, I am not going to give up $480 because they promised me this money, I earned it. I am sick of being the one who is the strong one...when do I get the chance to just blow up???Anyways, sorry...had to get that off my chest.

Sorry to hear you're having such a bad run at the moment Joy. It always seems like when one thing goes wrong, everthing else wants to follow suit - and the little things that mightn't normally get to us, can really be the last straw.

I hope your day starts picking up, and you hear some positive news about Sidney soon.

Best wishes and positive thoughts your way.....
Anna : )

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find the Karma Fairy to give him a sound beating..!! Surely it's time he found someone else to harass.

Joy I wish I had something to say that would make things easier. I guess I'm not that magical after all.

Please do keep what I said in mind. This deal going on with me acts like an autoimmune problem and while they've diagnosed it as Hemosiderosis, they are watching for Goodpastures syndrome and Wegener's Granulomatosis also. Whatever the deal is, it sounds like his and my condition are closely related in most respects. Just food for thought.

Joy, It must be very difficult for you being so far away from your brother and his family. I am sorry that your nephew is going thru all of this. I will add him to my prayer list.

Joy, so sorry you are having such a bad day....worrying about your nephew is certainly making you much more sensitive to everything else...but while the gas cap is just annoying (not to mention rude and thoughtless), the money owed you is substantial!!! I hope you can get that worked out.

Sounds like a good walk with your husband, or a movie and dinner or something akin to that might be a good idea to help de - stress you a little.

Take care.

Venting

Venting

Hi Joy,
My heart goes out to you. It just doesn't seem right for these things to happen to young people; it is so frustrating. Come and vent all you want. If you can't vent here, you can't vent anywhere...

Positive thoughts and prayers for your nephew.

Joy, your nephew will be in my prayers and you too. It's hard to stand by and watch when someone we love is so sick. Keep us posted on how he is doing.
