It was nice to visit for a little while the other day. It was nice to visit with Ranae and Michelle too, although they probably got tired of me doing all the talking. I think it is funny that my Mom has that tradition of "Dancing with the Stars" My Mom never watches much TV so for her to get hooked it is hillarious. And better yet, she would make the Apple pie for the event, but I am sure that was the best part. I think we have the best family in the whole wide world just because we have a great family bond and we are always here for one another. That I am truly thankful for. I love you Aunt Sandie. I pray for your comfort every day. Love Melenda
It sounds like everyone is getting the chance to come and have nice visits with Sandie. Easter sounds like it was a lot of fun... all that yummy food and everyone enjoying being together. What a blessing! I hope today is a good day. I hope Sandie is able to rest and be as comfortable as possible. Good luck to you all~ ~Debbie Lawson
So glad that we found your blog! It will be so nice to be able to stay updated with you. I hope you all had a nice Easter, and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love~Courtney & Brian
Hey Sandy and family. It is nice to see the blog. I hear about your updates from Mom all the time and we have you and your family in our thoughts constantly. I am grateful for you Aunt Sandie. I remember when you jumped right in to help our family when we needed it. I will never forget that. We love you!!!
I think about you daily and hope that you are hanging in there. It is so great that everyone has been coming into town. We have such an awesome family. I love you so much and am grateful for you. Mom has been so concerned and you are on her mind always. Please know that you are in our prayers. I hope to make it over there again soon. Love always, Nadine
As most of you have heard, Mom/Sandie hasn't been doing very well. Right after Christmas she ended up in the hospital for a few days with multiple blood clots in her lungs which is something that can happen with Ovarian Cancer. Though she has put up a valiant fight the past few years, this cancer is very aggressive and is drug resistant at this point. It has spread to her liver, spleen, between the ribs, and right lung and the existing tumors in her abdomen have grown larger and multiplied ,which effects her intestines and colon. This makes it difficult to digest solid food so she is on liquids.
At this point there's really nothing more we can do but focus on helping her to be as comfortable as possible. (She did do full rounds of the 714X but there were no signs of improvement.) We're currently setting up Home Health services to help monitor her care.
Everyone needs to be assured that she is at peace about what is coming and greatly appreciates all the love and support from family and friends. She shared that if someone asks what they can do to tell them to pray for her comfort.
She also welcomes visitors when she's up to it, but it is very important that visitors are showing no signs of illness.
