Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 aren't familis something? Too bad we all can't get along. I need to learn how to forgive more. My life is really too short. Love,Jill We don't remember days, we remember moments. Life is not measured by the breaths we take,but by the moments that take our breath away.

The time will come when it will seem right to go through your Mom's things and part with some of them. Some you'll never want to part with. Grief is a process and it shouldn't be rushed. Let it happen in it's own time. The Lord will give you peace about letting go of her things when the time is right for you. I'm praying for you cause I've been where you are now. Hugs........ . Diane Re: Intro Welcome Tina and other new members..I can't keep up today....I'm decluttering under the house and it is a MESS! I just wanted to check in and say hi! I'm praying for all of you and yours, lots of time as I declutter, to ask the Lord to bless you all today. I am Pamela, caregiver to my mom who died of cirrhosis in Feb '08. Today as I was going through stuff, I found a box of things we used while caring for mom. Meds, bed pads, shampoo caps, a baby monitor, thermometer etc.. All over again..the thoughts came flooding back of when I was turning her every couple hours, feeding her, giving her meds etc.. But no tears today, which is really strange, but a welcomed relief from all the other days that I do cry. I miss her something terrible!! I know caregiving is hardwork, but hang in there! It is a huge blessing to give the gift of caregiving! And when you think you can't go on, remember the One who is helping you, He really will carry you during the hard times, don't be afraid to ask, He is a great listener!! I hope you all find help here at this wonderful group. I sure have and continue to be blessed by the sweet fellowship! Well, back to it! It feels good to work hard, but I am shocked at how much STUFF has accumulated over the years. And now everything my mom made, wore, touched etc..I can't seem to part with. Blessings All..

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 When I first came online about 10 years ago, I checked out Christian chat groups. I didn't stay around very long because some haters constantly sent very obnoxious messages. This group is a lot better, and it is really great to get so many emails every day where people talk about God and offer prayers. God bless you all.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yes, after my transplant I had to take meds twice a day to prevent thrush. We called it the " suck tab " . I forgot what the real name of the medication is. I would have to look at my records. After transplant, prednisone is one of the drugs taken to prevent rejection, but after a while, it isn't needed anymore. Once the prednisone is stopped so is the " suck tab " .

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I was talking with a nurse friend of mine today who said it would make sense that Thrush would be more common in cirrhotic patients. She said it's more prevalent when some one is immunodeficient or taking a lot of antibiotics. MaC preciouspenny3 wrote: Yes, after my transplant I had to take meds twice a day to prevent thrush.
