On the Road Again

Posted by
|

Hey everyone, everything is going the same. We had to make a drive to one of Dad’s appointments. It was to his nephrologist. We had to take him off alot of his pills because of the failure of his kidneys.  We r just trying to save some time to hold off dialysis. He also has pneumonia and feels terrible. I am trying to make sure he and mom are okay.

Then yesterday I had to run to Wichita to go to the doctor with my sister. She is not well. I worry a lot about her. So we have been on the road a lot and that is hard. Last week I got the tummy bug and could only take a few hours to feel better.  But now I still have the body pains and bellyache. It sucks.

Hope everyone is good. I am trying to see what help i can get in our town.

    Hi Amy–Oh, you don’t even have time to get sick and then get better. You truly are your family’s lifeline.

    You seem to have such a persistent heart–you keep going, no matter what. I wonder: What keeps you motivated?

    Thanks for the update. :)
