grouped reply and my new news

[Guest guest]

Lou: What a beautiful picture. I love " meeting " people and

putting a face with the names.

Peggy: You always know just what to say to make each of us feel

better. Thank you for the prayers. And, Happy Anniversary! When

you've got a good one, never - ever - never trade! Not even for two

younger ones! What a headache they are!

Vicky: Also, Happy Anniversary. Enjoy each moment.

Irene: I am so sorry to hear about your weight loss. That is a

little scary at some point, isn't it? I am envious that I can't lose

the weight I need to, but I sure don't want to go through what you

have had to endure. Be good to yourself and take it easy when you

can.

Shirley: Welcome. This group is my favorite place to be on the net

or anywhere. My mom thinks I am spending way too much time on the

computer, until I explain to her how many people I am communicating

with. She is still a busy-body on the telephone. As opposed to me,

I rarely talk on the phone. As a matter of fact, I get too winded

talking much anymore, so I put everything in my journal. Even though

no one " hears " me, someday if it is every read by anybody, they will

know everything I was thinking about.

Jane, Kerry, , Tammy, Bruce, Geeta, , Zena, Babs, Tony,

Wally, , Jon, Leanne, and everyone else I didn't mention, I have

special prayers and hugs for each of you.

As for me and my " new " news....well, my precious little boy brought

home the " cold " of the season. I knew it was inevitable that

kindergarten would send home something I wouldn't like. His teacher

has indicated more than 10 sudents have been absent each day for the

last month. That's half the class! I was so proud that Kaleb hadn't

even had a sniffle. Well, Friday he came home coughing and boy has

that turned awful. He coughed all night last night. I was up

several times with him using every remedy I know to ease his

discomfort. He now has the sniffles and a sore throat, on top of the

horrendous cough! I imagine a trip to the doctor is in order for

early this week. I am trying so hard to be conscience of the germ

spreading. We are freaks with hand sanitizer and Lysol. I certainly

don't want any more infections!

Also, I received my report from the Cleveland Clinic regarding my

last appointment with the neurologist. It seems there is something

else creeping into my health concerns. I am being sent for an MRI,

among other studies, to determine the nature of whatever else may be

happening. I have some indications of leukemia, but other than

receiving a diagnosis, there is little treatment available or that I

could tolerate. Obviously no surgeries or anything like that. I

will keep you all posted on the news of this as I learn it. Maybe

this explains the pain and numbness in my limbs?

God Bless,

Tina
