We’re breaking the ‘tumor.
Her liver is failing. If she goes, it will be today or tomorrow.
There is nothing to fear, nothing to doubt.
I love you.

I know this is probaby stupid and you mentioned it a long time ago, but we’re all reaching for anything, right? So, do the drs know about the project with the beer bottles??? Botulism??? Go ahead and laugh at me now.
Love you guys

So sorry you’re going through this. Have you considered trying Vanderbilt or another larger hospital?
(I’m biased b/c I work at Vandy, but still…)

I will inform the Family of this latest turn of events. There’s little I can say except that we are praying a lot and that this really, really sucks.

By the way, did they check for tick-related things, like Ehrlichiosis? Sorry, trying to find answers is how I try to be comforting. Found your story from a Nashville blog; will be thinking of you and your family.

I am praying for you and yours. I have asked others to do the same.
May God’s hand be upon you!

Depend on God…My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness…2 Cor. 12:9
I am praying for your family and your beloved angel.

I am praying for your wife and you and your family. I’m so sorry.

AT, I don’t know what to say. I just read about your wife on the Oak Ridger thread today. I will pray that she gets well, that the Lord’s will be that she stay with your and your boys and that if it is not his will that she stay, he be with you and them, giving comfort and strength. I hope that she pulls through this and continues all the good works I’ve read about. God bless you and your family.

Thank you all.
Rachel, she really can’t be moved. They’ve been wanting to do a head and chest CT for days, but can’t move her. The dialysis was dismal today, and I think they’re going to let her recoup a bit more, and hope.
The thought always crosses my head that maybe another hospital, another doctor, another thing.
If we had made that doctors appointment, if we had kept that gym membership. If I had taken her to the doc when we thought it was just the flu.
If I start these thinkings, these second guesses, I’ll go crazy. I’m far from crazy, but I’ve been crazy enough in my days to know what it looks like, and to run far from it.
Those thoughts will come, and they’ll eat me alive. Days, weeks maybe, they’ll be here, and I’ll write about it.
Not looking forward to that.
The thing with the ticks would be that it would affect respiration, as I understand, and it hasn’t. Dozens of doctors have scratched their heads. A 29 year old isn’t supposed to get this sick, and I have no doubt that people are taking it home, getting online, asking colleagues, trying to be the one to figure this out.
Basically, I trust them, because thats what I’m going to do.
Thanks for asking, and for helping.
I really appreciate it. There are some friends in Nashville I haven’t seen in a while.
Actually, before she got bad, I told her I was working on a vacation to Nashville, Opryland hotel, all that jazz, for when she gets better. Haven’t thought of that in a few days.

On no, I certainly didn’t want to make you feel like you’re not doing enough. I can tell from this blog that you are doing everything you can. I saw the newer posts that some of her levels are getting better. I hope things continue to improve today.

Oh, I know. I think of how much worse it would be if I had a serious medical training, all the thinking, and knowing. I know enough to convey what I write, but if I knew what you must know, shew, it’d be harder.
Thanks very much. I appreciate your help very deeply.
