Good thoughts and prayers coming your way, capecodr, to you and your children and their families. Take good care of them and yourself ...these kinds of times are so difficult and take such a toll on everyone. God bless and keep you all in His hands. Jeanne S.

I'll certainly be praying for your family and for you too! This is affecting so many in your family and this kind of stress is wide reaching, but God will grant you peace and we here at GJ will be lifting you up!

Daughter-in-law didn't just start a new drug in last month did she? They don't seem to be testing them as much as they used to. My mom almost died from Detrol,it dries you up-well your cells have to have fluid in them or you get in all kinds of trouble. Anyway, ask her ,as mom's dr's never asked & I found out when I insisted on drug list she was on. So sorry to hear so much happening all at once.Heartfelt prayers to you & your whole family. Jan

You can count on my prayers, Sandy! My experiences with hospices is that they do very well at keeping the patient comfortable so I'm sure Janice will have a quiet, less painful transition. I am so sorry she is going through this and my heart goes out to her and your family.

I will also be praying for your daughter-in-law's quick recovery from her mystery disease/problem. I know when Bob had his lung infection, he was weak and found breathing extremely difficult. I hope whatever they do find wrong is something that can be quickly fixed with medication. If she does need surgery, I hope she has a quick and painless recovery.

My prayers will go out for you too. I know how stressful these things can be.

My prayers are with you and all of your family. It is hard to let go of a loved one but faith that we will meet again helps to ease the pain for those of us left behind. I am praying for Wendy's doctors as well as her and her family. I'll pray that the docs are guided and inspired so that they will find her problem and help her to get well.

I know that God is holding these two precious daughters in His hand.

As you know, we love you Sandy! We will pray without ceasing for you and your family. Love, Kirk and Carol

Thank you so much for all the prayers!!

DH talked to his son tonight...who was on the way to the hospital to pick Wendy up and take her home! After extensive testing, the doctors arrived at the conclusion Wendy is having a severe arthritic, inflammatory response to a virus. She was only sick with whatever the virus was for ONE day a few weeks ago. Amazing! Doctors say she will have joint pain for a long time. Apparently Wendy's recovery will be slow, but she will recover...and we are absolutely elated!!

Poor Janice is very near her end of time here. Her family has been called to the hospital. She was only diagnosed about 2 weeks ago...it's just unbelievable!! I think Janice and her husband would be celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. According to my daughter, Hospice has been wonderful! They are a Godsend!

Thank you all for your comforting thoughts and prayers. They mean so much!

~Sandy~

What wonderful news they found out what was wrong, and Wendy is headed home to her family. Prayers answered, and more are coming for her to recover faster than predicted. At least maybe her mind will be eased a lot knowing WHAT happened to her body.

I'm sorry Janice is going so quickly, and this time of year especially. I know it will make it doubly hard on her loved ones. Hospice is a Godsend as you said.

much love, Karen

This life is hard; I am grateful we never have to go through it alone. I am praying for your family - that each of you knows His peace and providence. A peace that surpasses all human understanding.

And Sandy, I know people shoot out advice rapid fire, and it's hard to process it all, but please, please please be sure your daughter in law has had lyme ruled out definitively. Not just one or two titres.

So happy that your DIL will have a complete recovery. I am sorry about Janice, but I do agree that Hospice is a Godsend. Don't know what my family would have done without them when my Daddy was ill. We will continue to lift your family up!

Capecodr...Good news about your DIL...will keep her in prayer. I am happy to hear they did thorough testing. My life was saved through the diligence of Iowa City drs....I pray that Wendy will also have the good fortune of a good diagnosis and a good recovery, even if it takes awhile.

Also Hospice is definitely a band of Angels sent by God. We could not have survived my Mom's illness and death without the caring people of Hospice. Thoughts with you all during this time. Jeanne S.

Those hospice folks are a Godsend. I don't know what we'd do without them in today's world.

Pancreas cancer is the hardest to diagnose. There is no good test for it yet, and with most folks, they don't notice any symptoms until it's too late.

I continue to pray for you in the coming days and weeks, and wish you the very best always ~tenderlee

Thank you all for your prayers!

Wendy is happy to be home with her family. Her recovery will be slow and achy, but she will get better. The doctors are not yet sure if this will be a chronic thing. I sure hope not.

Janice took her last breath the night before last. Thankfully, she did not linger and suffer. She is now at peace, and her family is left to comfort one another.

Now to help daughter #4 survive the period between now and when her divorce is final in January. Her husband is being particularly cruel...devoting his time to his much younger girlfriend, pretty much ignoring his daughters (11 & 15), refusing to move out, and coming and going at all hours of the night...waking everyone up. To say nothing of his throwing a meager $100 on the counter each week for food and household essentials for the three of them. My daughter has been a stay-at-home mom for the past 11 years, at least, and will have a real struggle to get back into the workforce. Right now, her first priority is her girls. She is really determined and will be fine!

And I thought old age would be peaceful and less stressful!! LOL I remember hearing years ago that the older your kids got the bigger the problems got. It's true!! And most of their problems were caused by other people! I could write a book! LOL

Thanks again. You guys are the absolute best!

Love, Sandy

Oh, Sandy, I'm so sorry for all the stress you have been under, no wonder you can't find your glasses or get them on right, I wouldn't even be able to think straight. Glad Janice passed quickly. A friend mentioned she had vague stomache ache sometimes after eating, I told her to go to dr.She died before the appt. no pain, in her sleep, it was pancreatic cancer. It's a very strange disease. Do wish your DD could take her girls & get away from him. Hope Wendy surprises the drs & gets well much faster than expected. Lucy (I love Lucy fame) had a something like that when she was young.You need lots of prayers & maybe counseling for DD from clergy or someone else. This is too much for you guys to handle alone. HOpe things will improve soon.Jan
