<BR>Hey guys!<P>This is off topic but I need you all right now. Well, my gran does.<P>She's 90 and is in the hospital with a huge cyst on her pancreas, tumors around her pancreas, and pneumonia. The doctors aren't sure if she'd make it thru surgery or not, but without it she'll starve to death. <P>I've seen miracles with this lady before. 2 years ago, she almost died 3 times within 6 weeks. She had congestive heart failure and her kidneys had shut down. All three times, she came back to us. The doctors didn't do anything but make her comfortable since she has a DNR clause in her will. So, it was sheer willpower and determination and a lot of help from above. It just wasn't her time. <P>I'm a peace with the fact that she could die this time. If she does, I'll thank God for every day that I've had with her. I just don't want her to suffer.<P>Thanks,<BR>Mitzi [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>

Mitzi-<P>Hello stranger...well I hope you are doing as well as can be expected. You know I'm one of your biggest fans cause you for sure have come so far! As I've said before...you make us all have to work a little harder at what we do in our lives and how we try to grow and move forward.<P>I'm sorry about your "Gran"...grandparents do hold a special place in our lives and souls and all you can do is try and be there for her and let her know that. She sounds like a real fighter and that she has come off the ropes swinging before. Take care of yourself and I'll say a few words for both of you tomorrow.<P>Take care...<P>Mr. R

(((((Mitzi))))),<P>Thoughts and prayers from me to you and your family! <P>This last Friday (Good Friday) my best friend in the whole wide world (thirty years) lost her mother. A weekend of being in a place I'm not used to being in. See, my friend has ALWAYS been the strong one. Now I can be HER shoulder and she's allowing me to do so. My friend and I have shared many things in life together.<P>I'm 46 and my Grandmother turned 90 last January.<P>Thinking of you,<P>Ragamuffin<P><BR>

Lori, Sheryl, Jim, Ragamuffin, and Jo,<P>Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Gran is having more tests run today to see what her chances are of making it thru surgery. If she can have the surgery, she'll probably be moved to a hospital that is 2 hours away. So far, she's doing ok, but she can't eat and it's making her very weak. Please keep her in your prayers.<P>Love,<BR>Mitzi [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]

My maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother died before I was born. My paternal grandfather and his second wife lived across the street from us until I was 6 and then he died suddenly. My maternal grandmother lived several hours away from us and she died when I was 15. <P>I really envy you. I basically grew up without grandparents.<P>I do so hope and pray that all goes well for your grandmother and that you get to keep her for quiet a while yet. <P>((((((((Mitzi))))))))<P>

I got to see her almost daily.<P>She is now at the hospital 2 hours away in Morgantown, WV. <P>Mitzi [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]
