My mother-in-law went in to the hospital for a rather simple procedure on Thursday, and may not wake up. Her breast cancer re-occurred, and metastasized to her lungs. She is 2 hours away, so I’ve been driving back and forth and my husband has been staying there on and off.
We just went through this with my dad less than 2 years ago.
I’m pretty tired right now, and of course, everyone is devastated.
We are waiting to see if she gets off the vent and has a little time before the end or not…
In the meantime, my kids are crushed. I’ll let you know what happens. I’m tired.
Unless she passes away in the next two days, I’m heading for Cleveland by myself on Tuesday. I thought about canceling the appointment, but the stress is making my symptoms much worse so it seems like it might be a good time to be evaluated, and my husband wants me to try and go ahead if I can make the drive myself.
Sometimes life sucks.

I am traveling tomorrow, but you (should) know my email and vmail:

Heidi, I’m praying God’s peace and grace keep you, and your hubby’s and kids hearts through out all of this. Not an easy journey to be on, that’s for sure. Just keep holding on to the truth that when you are weak, He makes you strong. He will keep you in perfect peace friend….it’s your promised address from Him. (((((hugs)))))

My gracious, Heidi. I just saw this…and the next post.
I’m praying. It’s the best I can do.
I love you and am asking for His arms to enfold you all.
