The Treadway's

Monica don't count everyone else out yet! Just because the drs say the tenth little miss marleigh may have a different plan. Either way it's safe to say there will be another little leaf on the family tree. Sorry addy I guess rocky will just have to go down by the trunk of the tree where the other dirt n rocks go. Mommy talked a lot about marleigh today. Asked me if u had already had ur shower. She has a little something for you. Daddy was quite puny today. Ate very little but is drinking water and milk. Mommy is realizing there is something really wrong now. She hasn't strayed far from his side all day. If he needed fed she did it. And that is good for her. His calcium level is elevated at 10.8. The doctor called me and said that when it reaches levels between 11 and 13 it is dangerously high. He will experience lethargy depression dehydration extreme thirst and eventually coma. Apparently hypercalcemia is one of the symptoms caused by the tumor. Right now though the rest of his lab work is excellent. Blood count a liitle low but better than it was 2weeks ago. She also said he isn't dehydrated at all. He asked for a pain pill today and it is seeming to help. Also the absorbine junior rub seems to make him feel lots better. So if u r staying with him....offer to rub it on. Sometimes it's the little things that really seem to help.
Daniel and Alice are coming in the first of the week to stay. Amy is coming this weekend to stay along with Lonnie and marsha. Me and Rita will stay next week as well. Things are going much better with two people these days. Mommy is really fretting herself silly. She said daddy just told her last week about this. She asked me if all the kids knew and I assured her that everyone knew and that daddy told me he was ready to go to heaven when Jesus wad ready for him. And the only thing for us to do is help make what time he has left happy and pain free. She is awfully worried about him not eating and being hungry but the doctor told me that with certain tumors they produce a substance that makes you not hungry. So even if he doesn't eat he isn't having hunger pains. After all that explaining she seemed at ease. She told steve this morning she had a nervous feeling every morning like a need to pray for someone but she didn't know who it was nut after she prayed that feeling went away. I think she now feels that prayer is for daddy.
Hope you all have a great weekend. Love to all
