dogmom4 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Cookie, I'm so sorry to hear what's happening. Sending up prayers for your mom and family and for you too, girl. And no worries about UH. Got it covered. Love you. Link to comment
Stephanie Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 ((((Cookie)))) You know what? As Christians facing a situation like this, we're really in a win/win situation. To be absent from the world is to be presnt with the Lord...right? And then there is the BLESSED ASSURANCE that we will be together forever in eternity. I was just talking to my kiddos about this in our afternoon lessons. We're going to pray fervently for peace and calm and healing and lack of pain and a long life. But, in the mean time, if that's not the plan, we know we can trust the plan maker. We can trust Him when we can't even trust ourselves! You are going to come through this stronger and with a deepened faith and trust in the Lord. I just have a really strong feeling about it. Father, I pray that when Cookie does see her dsm, she will be awed by the peace and lack of pain that she is experiencing. I pray that in every step of the way that she will see your hand moving and see miracles like she can only imagine. Amen and Amen which means So be it and So be it! Link to comment

cookiejar Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 UPDATE: Hello, Well, I spoke to my sister who is there. They went back for the onocology report and SM ended back in the hospital. Aparently both hips are broken and they will do surgery tomorrow. They will put a steel socket or rod or something to make that side stronger to counter the pin/plate. She's in traction and on Mr. Morphine. The onocology news is she has a type of cancer of the marrow but treatable. Once she's past the surgery, they will do a series of chemo, then hormonal (?) treatment, etc...final option would be surgery.There's a bit in her spine but not her cord which is a major blessing. My Dad is being grumbly and difficult which I don't get. Maybe frustrated? My sister called me again while out for a *walk* to vent (Please include her in your prayers?). The surgery is at 5 o clock pm Colorado time(?). I know I have been leaning heavily on you all and God. Thank you all so much. I am grateful it is a treatable cancer. thank you, cookie Link to comment
JCK88 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Cookie...keeping you and yours in our prayers here daily. (Dad is likely grumpy because he can't do anything and feels helpless about this...) Hugs Link to comment
Stephanie Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (((Cookie))) I'll be adding my prayers too! and that includes your sister and you too! Her for having to be on the scene and you for not being able to be! Keep us updated when you can! Link to comment
Jeepers Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've been thinking about you so much lately. You aren't leaning on the people here too much at all! In fact, I have been watching for an update to see how things were going. Will continue to keep your family in my prayers. Link to comment
cookiejar Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 Thanks jeepers and everyone, Just got a good news call. They did the surgery and put the steel rod and ball socket in. The big news is no cancer in any of the organs. The surgery was a success. My sister talked SM into filling out the paperwork to get home healthcare for her and Dad (My Dad is diabetic/stroke etc- but still gets around.). Things are in the air about whether she'll need a rehab or not, when to start chemo-etc. The prayers sent heavenward are reaping amazing benefits. I wish she could be pain and cancer free, but if this is the way it's supposed to be, she has the optimum situation and one of the finest facilities. Now we're back to the waiting game. Thank you thank you all. Please do one more dose of prayers that the home healthcare paperwork goes well? (and my Dad doesn't get fiesty and try to stop it?? ) Thank you so much cookie Link to comment
Jeepers Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Fantastic news! Will continue to pray that your fiesty daddy settles down. Link to comment
dogmom4 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 That's good news cookie! Still praying for you and your family. Link to comment
Stephanie Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Good report on the good progress and you know what's shining through...your good attitude! Link to comment
Skagitgal Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Prayers for you Cookie. May God grant you calmness,purpose and strength, as only He can. Link to comment
quiltys41 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 more for all of you (((((cookie))))). Any further updates yet? I agree about dad being upset because of a loss of control. Get him involved as much as possible. Ask his opinion on stuff even if you don't follow it. That will make him feel more like he is still part of this and I would bet that some of the grumpiness will disappear. Q Link to comment
sassenach Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 (((((((((( All of you and yours Cookie))))))))) Sending out prayers. Glad they caught and determined the cancer level. Hope it all goes well. Yep, feisty dads seem to be going around. I cannot convince my dad of many things, the most important thing is for him to get closer geographically at least to my son, so that we can help each other more and be of better support. We are spread out coast to coast and soon including Texas! He has heart problems and really isn't strong enough anymore to be camping alone, and he is very depressed since my mom did pass away last Christmas. He's so mad at the world right now he can't see straight anymore! Link to comment
cookiejar Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Got some good news! The first set of staples came out today! Also, she had her first radiation treatment and actually was fine! She ordered lunch right after...go figure. They landed a lady (with a hookup from some of our family friends) to come by and help my Dad in the mornings and then both when SM gets out of the hospital. They have her doing all kinds of PT and such for the hips.Plus! She's seen a plethora of doctors and specialists. She seemed in such high spirits tonight which was wonderful to hear. With my sister's help, they are (despite some balking and moodiness) getting social services to help along with medicare. I mean come on, they've been paying into the social *safety net* since before I was born! (That's what I tried to get thru to them...). I had to make myself NOT step in and try to run the show, had to make myself trust in God's will (and SM and Dad's own common sense coming to the surface). I cannot thank you enough for all the prayers. I know this is going to be ongoing, but this is such good news I had to come out here and share. This is such a real weight off my chest. There's so much more to deal with and work thru but this is such a positive step. Thank you all. Now on to getting SM to remission! I still gotta tell ya...I'm still learning the turn it over to heaven part... Love you folks cookie Link to comment
Stephanie Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 ((((cookie)))) What a wonderful Praise Report! Praise the Lord! Thanks so much for sharing the good progress! Everything is falling into place and you're doing great too! Great news! Link to comment

Snowmom Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Cookie, I am so sorry I haven't read this and posted before. I was having thing going on here and just didn't take the time to read all I should have. Sounds like this is under control and I will be for your SM and D and all your family. I'm sorry about all of this. It sounds like your SM is a very strong person and I'm sure all will be according to God's will. Link to comment
