Light a candle

Julien · 12-29-2010, 06:19 PM

In the recent past I wrote about my father who is struggling with throat cancer along with other illnesses. Two days after Christmas (which was my parents 60th Anniversary) we rushed Dad to the emergency room. He needed a blood transfusion. He is at home now and is resting even though there are still unresolved problems. Light a candle for him, my Mom and me, who are his caretakers. We need all the support we can get. Thank you.

Tonight I light healing incense as well as candles of healing and positive energy and adding one of power for my special friend who is still under the weather. Sending them an extra measure of warm, loving healing energy and comfort for a restful night and speedy recovery.

Update on JAGG's Dad:

He' in the cardiac ICU with blood clots in his lungs. J also informs me that His Dad has Alzheimer's....and had just gotten out of the hospital last week with pneumonia....

But also said that His Dad is "strong as an ox"....so that's always a good thing.

Lighting a candle for JAGG's dad

JAGG · 12-29-2010, 09:15 PM

Thank you so much everyone especially Diva. My dad is the strongest man I have ever known , so if there is anyway to pull through he will. He truly is unstoppable. He has alzhiemers and he is 78. He was diagonosed 3 years ago and my older sister moved him in with her. Until feb. He wandered off at 2am in PA. with 4 ft of snow on the ground and 12 degrees outside. The police found him about a mile from my sisters crawling in his hands and knees in his underwear. No coat nothing, just his cane . The police and doctors think he'd been crawling for about 2-3 hours. He had a little frostbite on his knees , and some bruises but other than that he was fine and making jokes with the nurses. But we had to put him in a nursing home to keep him safe. He loves it there. He calls it head quarters, hahahah Sad thing is he thinks he works there. Alzhiemers , it's a cruel fate that he doesn't deserve. He was the best dad with a strong work ethic, and the most kindest , easy going man you could meet. And now I think his health is failing, but I will embrace this and I know I'm blessed if he makes it and blessed if he doesn't . Either way I trust the outcome will be in everyones best interest. I know alot of people have crappy families but I am very very lucky. My family is awesome and we are very close. It makes things easier when you pull together and are there for each other.
Thanks for all my friends here on the planet and anyone who had a kind word of support for my family. This is a wonderful place and I'm glad I get to be a part of it.

I took Ivan to the frog doctor today and spent most of the afternoon there.

We're thinking now that Ivan has some sort of an intestinal blockage going on. The doctor gave him some contrast dye to swallow and he will be getting another x-ray in the morning. The doctor felt it best to board little Ivan overnight, in order to get the x-ray first thing in the morning, so I left him there at the hospital. I wish now that I hadn't, and had decided to drive him back over, first thing in the morning. I hate to think of him there, alone, sick and away from Myra and me, and not understanding why.

I feel sick inside for Ivan and I'm worried beyond all belief. Poor Myra is sitting in the waterfall, waiting for Ivan, as I type this, and I'm sure she doesn't understand where he's gone. She just keeps sitting there, and turns to look at me when I approach. She seems to know there's something wrong, and I wonder if I will be able to bring Ivan home tomorrow. I know what bowel obstructions are to humans, and I can only think that it must be near to impossible to treat the condition in an animal as small as a frog. I know, too, how painful it is for humans, and I don't want my poor little frog to suffer.

Tomorrow may well be the last day......
