Sorry to hear.
Update on my dad, they are going to wait the weekend to see if he needs surgery. He hasn't eaten anything since Wednesday. He sounded really well when I spoke with him today. He told me to have a beer on his behalf. That should be a good sign.

The LSSU Laker community could use some thoughts. Less than 1 month apart 2 former professors who one retired in the last year or so have passed. Dr Deb Stai was a professor in the department of biology and was my senior thesis advisor. Her passion for her work and students is one reason I am greatly considering staying in academia when I have finished my Phd. So that I may share that same passion. Dr Robert Money who I believe was a history professor passed most recently. Several of my friends had classes with him and he was one of their favoritre profs. The family, friends, and former students of these great professors are in my thoughts.

Re: A Thread for prayers, good vibes and what have you
not a frequent visitor here...we've been going through a rough few months as my dad's cancer apparently has spread through more of his body than expected. They started a round of radiation today but it is mostly to reduce pain etc. All 4 of my grandparents died either before I was born or shortly after and my dad is now 85. So I have very little experience with what it is like to see a very healthy family member go through this process.
To everyone on here dealing with something painful, you have my respect and sincere best wishes.
If you aren't dealing with something currently and you are like I was in the past, somewhat oblivious to the pain and stress involved with this type of situation, trust me...call your parents more often, hug your spouse more often, tell people close to you love them more often ... don't put off anything with your loved ones for a day when you have more time...take the time now.
When you are sitting there hoping to get a chance to talk with someone, hoping they are coherent enough to understand, thrilled with the moments when they are 'with it', want to cry when they are totally out of it...you have a lot of time to think of what you could have done...and what you have done. All in all, I know I've been fortunate for the time with my dad and know that what good fortune I have garnered is the result of his guidance over my life...anybody that has worked with me could tell you I use stories of things he taught me all the time.
I hope I can have the same impact on my kids and I hope I don't have to spend time being that sick...I know nobody wants them to go suddenly but watching a parent decline like this is like torture.
Anyway. Positive thoughts for all of you.

C'mon Q!
Re: A Thread for prayers, good vibes and what have you
Heard first thing this morning that a very close friend lost his dad yesterday afternoon. He had a bisected aorta (?) or some such thing a week before Thanksgiving which was repaired. Thanksgiving weekend he suffered a minor stroke while in ICU. Between the surgery, the stroke and the meds he developed a bleeding ulcer. Finally, by this past weekend he was off the ventilator, off the IV and starting to eat clear liquids, Jello and the like. In addition, they started him on some physical therapy and were getting him out of bed as often as possible. While a long way from going home, it sounded like he had turned a corner. Yesterday, after a PT session, he collapsed as they were getting him back into bed and they couldn't revive him. Last I heard they were thinking blood clot or anuerysm.
Everyone knew Stu... he was a terrific guy, albeit a simple man. He spent most of his life (he was 71) drag racing anything he could drive down the track. My friend Tim and his dad still fielded a car and went to the track as often as they could (a shoestring budget and 2-1/2 hr rides limited them). I accompanied them to Englishtown, NJ each of the past 4 summers to see the NHRA big boys and Stu would keep us entertained. His trademark was his bright red suspenders, greasy pants and a Yankee's hat... but he still looked like a king (and always acted like a gentleman). He had the biggest hands I've ever seen but was as gentle as baby.
My buddy is a very religious man and has tremendous faith so I think he'll be ok long term. However, I am just feeling great sorrow for the rest of the family being so close to the holidays. I wish there was more I could do to comfort them...
I think I'll kiss the wife, hug my daughter and call my mom...
This! If we all did this the world would be much better place.

Re: A Thread for prayers, good vibes and what have you
Agreed. I have yet to meet the person who at/near the end of their life says they wish they'd spent more time at the office, etc. Inevitably they wish they'd given more time and attention to people in their life. A friend of mine awhile back said something that's really stuck with me. He said in life there's really two things, people and stuff. And his equation is that people is greater than stuff. I think we all can look back at times and wish we'd lived more by that equation. I certainly do.

Re: A Thread for prayers, good vibes and what have you
I really need your help here. Here goes:
In early October, my wife missed her period and I was excited because I thought she was pregnant. We went to the doctor, but her urine test was inconclusive. (It never was for Hailey so no problem.) They did the first blood test and nothing so they ordered the quantitative test and two days later the doc said she was pregnant on Halloween. However, she started spotting and cramping really bad. She went to the ER and they did the same test and said she was never pregnant and it was "all in her head."
We took the little one trick-or-treating and my wife's symptoms got worse. She couldn't get out of the car and I took Hailey out to get the candy. My wife felt like she miscarried, but she never went to an OB because she doesn't trust any of the doctors due to what happened.
Now, she's missed her period by three weeks, but she's been so negative lately. She thinks there's something wrong with her because she can't get a positive test. She feels like nothing is going right for her. I've been trying to motivate her, but she hasn't been able to pull herself out of it. I'm feeling very worn down in trying to help her. Is it wrong of me to feel that way? I really want some help because every time she gets really down, I'm on the verge of tears. I can barely function because I'm so worried about her. My diet has gone to heck, but that's the least of my concerns. I really don't know what to do. Thanks.

Re: A Thread for prayers, good vibes and what have you
Have your wife go in and just say she isn't feeling well, her periods are messed up. There are a bunch of reasons that could happen. It is hard when your partner is not in a good way. If she really isn't doing well and won't go you call them and tell them what is going on. They can't tell you anything but they can be aware she isn't OK. If she really doesn't trust who she is seeing then she should see if she can find a new provider- ask around for recommendations- try any nurse you know or the local pharmacist (they have to deal with offices all the time).
If she keeps feeling lousy and won't do anything time to play hard ball. Tell her it hurts you to see her this way but it hasn't been changing so what is she going to do about it because she can't keep doing this- it is affecting everyone in the house. Sounds harsh but you can't support that kind of stuff forever- it isn't healthy for you or more importantly for her. She needs to poop or get off the pot.
Saying a prayer for you both.
Tests are not always accurate. Many women have negative urine tests. I had a twin preg and missed one. The numbers went haywire and no one could figure out what I was doing. She should see her provider- NOt the ER- they are for emergencies with no aftercare.

For those that may remember Andrew and Jenica whom I mentioned earlier in the thread (lost their first child to Trisomy 18 before he was born)...Jenica had a baby girl late last night (Christmas Eve) who I understand is happy and healthy. Her name is Noelle Kolleen. Jenica is doing well after delivery via C-section and both parents are elated with the arrival. Thoughts with them and their family on an extra happy day for them.
