Trish, I'm glad to hear that you may get to come home Monday. That is wonderful news that I am believing in!! I hope Danny and Jacob get to feeling better and that Tanner doesn't catch it :P
Where is everyone? Addy, Janet, Teresa, mom, Rita, Ruth????? Are you out there?
So this evening we went out with some friends to Barnes & Noble. I was excited for Marleigh to see the section of the children's books. She seemed to have a blast. I let her walk around at first and she was going from stand to stand and shelf to shelf. I came across a book that I must get her when she gets a little older......"Who pooped in the Park?" I had to look at it and it was quite interesting. As I glanced through it, it appeared to me to analyze poo and depending on what is in the poo lets you know what animal pooed it :) I would have never thought it. We made it to the other side of the children's section and I walked through an odor not my own. I turned around and looked at Mark, it wasn't him. I checked Marleigh's diaper, it wasn't her. There were two children sitting in the vicinity who may have been the culprits, who knows though. Anyway, as we turned around to leave I saw a book titled "Stink".....how appropriate. I didn't have time to look at that one LOL. Maybe it had a motion sensor on it and sprayed an aroma of its own :P
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Love you all :)

Hi Trish, Sorry to hear you are in the hospital, we have been praying for you ever since we knew you were there. Danny and Jacob, we are praying that you guys will feel better also. Keep us posted Trish on how you are getting along.
Emily, I think the service would be a wonderful chance and experience for you and Zach. The experience you get in the service you just can't get in the civilian counterpart. I think the camo would look good on you :). As far being deployed, grandma said and we both know for a fact that nothing will happen to you that God does not allow. Myself and David are a testament to that.

Prayer Request I received via e-mail
Greg Comer has battled cancer for almost 7 yrs. The doctors are giving him only days to live. Greg is 41, married & has 2 children, Jacob 11 & Alyssa 7. Jacob has asked his Mom for a special request, for everyone to pray for a miracle for his daddy. He wants a prayer chain across the world. Please pray for Greg and help start this prayer chain across the world for Jacob. Copy & re-post to keep prayer chain going.

Emily,
You should be skeptical. Yes that is at least a 4-year commitment on your part whether it is Army, Air Force or Navy (if they even offer such). The Marines are out because they don't offer that field. The Navy supplies our medical needs since the Marines fall under the department of the Navy. I will let Daniel and Joe Roberts weigh in on what it may be like in the Army but the commitment is for 4 years of your time and once you are in uniform, all bets are off, they own you and can deploy you whenever and wherever they need you, regardless of what the recruiter "promised" you up front. Yes you would have your education paid for, if and when you fulfilled your 4 years of army duty. If for any reason, medical or otherwise (injury to you in training, etc.) that you failed to complete the 4 years of active duty, then the Army would be released from their commitment. Daniel and Joe, what do you all think?
David

I went to school this morning for class and the power went off right after I got there...so no class for me today! It's cold, rainy and windy here too.
I went to a presentation by a medical recruiter last night and they make you feel like you'd be crazy not to do their program. They pay 100% tuition for whatever medical school you want to go to, plus a sign on bonus, plus a stipend every month. In exchange, you work at an army hospital on one of their bases for 4 years, with 1 90 day deployment. It's sounding like a good deal...I would appreciate any input on it though! David, Michelle, Daniel?
I guess since it is rainy and my classes are cancelled I am going to curl up with a book that I have to read for my medicinal plants class-- "Poisons: A History from Hemock to Botox". It's really interesting...seems like most things are poisonous. Lillies, foxgloves, apple seeds, peach pits...they can all kill a person. Good things to know! Have a good weekend everybody!
Good morning,
I don't seem to be healing or clearing my lungs as fast as most so looks like I am staying the weekend. All of my veins are used up so I am waiting to get another PICC line. During the night the glands in my neck started swelling and they feel like I am getting the mumps. I have never had the mumps but it sure feels and looks like it. I am waiting on the ENT to come up and tell me what he thinks about the situation. I also have the auto immune disease called sjogrens disease and it has to deal with your mucous membranes so I guess if the rest of me is screwed up stands to reason that is too.
Jacob and Danny are both sick with fevers and cough. Emily announced last night that she is checking into military life for her medical degree! Any feedback on that. I can see her now suited up in camo all of 4'10" looking like a little girl scout! My doctor, who is military also, said she should check into the air force as she thought it would be safer. Emily is looking at army. David do you know anything about the commitment you have through the marines?
I got the sweetest little roommate last night. I think she is a frequent flyer here cause everyone seems to know her. She is hard of hearing and reminds me a lot of mommy. I am going to see if she will let me get a picture later.
It is pouring the rain with high winds and the temps are dropping. Power is blinking on and off
Love to all,
Trish

Good Morning to All,
Just came from the nursing home and , Trish , you and David are on the same page. He got 2 breathing treatments yesterday and was getting one this morning, and was complaining about being used for a pin cushion , yesterday I guess it was lab day at the home so he had to have blood drawn, and he was not happy about that.and the Dr. that came in was telling him he has congestive heart failure, don't know how they , found that out. But they also did a chest x-ray too. so that's where we are at the present.Sure hope you get to feeling better Trish.We'll be praying for you .Love you All.
Good morning from the pokey,
Nothing new here. I actually feel the same. Nothing seems to be helping except steroids and of course I am decreasing those every few hours. On the home front though Jacob woke up with a fever of 101 and symptoms much like mine. Being a sick mom in the hospital when you have kids sick is no fun:(
On a bright note, you would not believe all the nice comments I have received on my flowers? First, all of the staff offered to help me smoke them when they dried. Boy did it bust their bubble when they found out they were artificial! HA
My nurse came in last night and commented on how beautiful they were. I had my iPad on with the isaacs playing and pictures scrolling. She asked me where I lived and told me she remembered my mom from being in here. She told me that we took such good care of her. Turns out she lives in meadow bridge her name is Leeann Modley. Rita, I think she knew you and blain.
I sat my bowl of candy on my over the bed table and my nurses, aides, and respiratory therapists enjoyed a treat, thought it might be a good way to get them back fast if I needed too:)
My night nursing assistant came in and we talked about my flowers. I told him they were from my sisters (yes Teresa that includes youn2). And the first thing he said was they love you. Apparently he comes from a large family with 5 brothers and only one sister. Originally from flint Michigan. He followed his sister here when she moved his parents are deceased. He talks to one other brother on a semi regular basis but the others can go for years and not here from them. Sad scenario.
I have had steady company and phone calls and in between I have facebook and the blog. Infer pretty short of breath if I get out and walk much so here I sit.
Blog later it's starting to get busy here.
Luv y'all Trish

Trish wanted everyone to know that Lacy Osborne is also in the hospital . He is on the same floor but across the hall. She said if anyone comes to see her, to stop and see him also. She was doing a breathing treatment when I spoke to her. She said she is breathing easier but she still doesn't feel well. She said she will be in the hospital until Friday.

Just a quick note to ask for prayer again. Seems like that's all I get done. I have been sick off and on since my chemo. It really hit hard this past Monday with the polymyositis And I had to go back up on the prednisone. Well by Saturday I couldnt breathe very good and Sunday not at all. I thought I could make it til the clinic opened but I ended up in the ER at 5am and admitted by 9. They seem to think I have bilateral pneumonia according to the CT scan and are giving me Iv steroids iv antibiotics and breathing treatments. The steroids have really helped but I imagine my sugar will be through the room. Danny told Vonda that David and I could hook up then he and Vonda could fly the coop! Lol
I am in room 314b. Greenbrier valley but I am not planning on being here very long if I have anything to do with it. There are way too many germs here, they have stuck a swab up my nose 2x already!
