AT, I really hope that GAC is well enough to lay off the sedation soon. I’m sure that she’ll have some really wierd dreams to relate to you.

I will, as always, tell Grandma and Grandpa the progress report and prayers are continuing.

Hubby and I lit candles for GAC/BJ at church today. Good news - a sharp gust of wind didn’t blow out my candle and extricate me from the church. I even stayed for vespers. I’ll do what it takes to bring her home safe and well. My faith may not be the best, but I think my husband’s faith makes up for it.

You guys are in my prayers. Let those boys sustain your faith and your heart hon. They’re the most precious support you’ll ever have. Sometimes being strong for them is enough to make you strong for yourself! Many prayers and good thoughts.

Glad to see things are looking better. I am not giving up hope and I am praying every chance and staying attatched to the ‘tumor all day at work waiting for any news I can get.

I totally agree with the BJ getting irritated thing. I can see her rolling her eyes at your earnest whispering. Rolling her eyes out of love, of course… BJ’s just one of a kind. :)

Your story is getting circulated around the blogosphere. Wow…unimaginable. Just thought I’d stop by & send positive wishes & good thots your way. Best to you & BJ.

Pigpen is having a good day at school. It’s business as usual and today he is “Captain and America” because the “A is for my name” he said. He’s being well cared for and we are all sending love to you, GAC, and your family.

I can already hear her when she reads over this stuff….
“Jake, what the hell?!?” She just has a tone that I’ve tried many times to mimic to no success.
I love you guys. Remember when you’re praying a prayer that a 4 year old can understand that it is those who pray with the earnesty of children that will enter into the kingdom of God. Not an exact quote, but kinda hard to recall the Bible when I’m learning about fun new anti-fungals.

Thanks for sharing the photo. Not sure why, but it seems to add a more personal dimension to praying for her. Praying and hoping…

Your wife and family, all of you, are in my prayers. Like you, I am not spiritual by nature and I express my own spirituality in my own way. I do not know you but, in reading your entries about your wife and family, I can picture you and I can feel the love you share.

Who is her doctor, and what specialists have they called in on this? Are you satisfied with the care there? My prayers are with you all.

Still reading, still begging. There are people at my site, Speckblog, who are praying as well. I hope the additional prayers make a difference.

I’m glad today is better. Still begging for you.

Thanks folks. I missed this thread, somehow, today, and didn’t read your words.
Mel, it touches me about the candles. You and Thanos have a special place for GAC and I, because you were the first outsider to see our weird little website, way back when it was on Typepad, and we were talking Twin Peaks.
Bob, its amazing to me that its gotten as big as it has. I’m trying not to let it go to my head!
I understand why everybody’s reading this on a level that I don’t understand. To be near the center of this, on the floor of my bedroom, in a little house in Oak Ridge, is strange.
I’m afraid of narcissism. I crave the attention, and as much as I want to focus it on her, I suck some of it up and it sustains me.
I don’t really know how to tell it.
Bob, I’m glad you’re here. I’ve been reading your comments, from Busymom, and here, and I know how hard this is for you to read. That you’ve been through something like this, and are there to help me, is meaningful.
Isn’t it irritating that there aren’t words that reflect the depth? Meaningful, special, deeply, I’ve been tossing them out so much with regards to you people, and it doesn’t scratch the surface.
I don’t have words.
I’m torn, because when this is over, I’ll want to grab her and retreat within my family. To motherbird her, to cover her, to hide from the spotlight.
But I owe you guys way, way, way too much. I don’t want to let you go back to your lifes with a vague satisfaction that you helped a poor bastard through a tough time.
I don’t know.
Thanks.
