*Dear Family and Friends,
Once again I write to you in need of support and prayers. After a
successful surgery last Tuesday, Laurie was allowed to come home on
Monday. Well, yesterday she had to be taken back and admitted again as
her body is not getting enough calcium. It was the most horrid
experience in my life to watch my daughter lay on the bed in spastic
convulsions, screaming in pain and not be ale to do anything to help
her. This is going to be a loooong hard road for her, an unknown road
for both of us. We have no idea what to expect, and the doctors say they
cannot give us definitive things to watch for. My daughter is in so much
pain, and it hurts to watch this happen to her. So please please please
pray for her to get well, without all this suffering. There is nothing
in this world more important to me than my children, and they have done
nothing in this life but be kind, generous, helpful people to all they
know, meet, and love. This is too much for them.
I have tried to be the stable, fearless, brave dad, but this is
taking a terrible toll on me also. My anxiety is through the roof, I
cannot sleep, I cannot eat, and if I do it comes right back up. The only
doctor I have who takes Medicare tried me on Klonopin for the anxiety,
but it gave me bad headaches, and did nothing for my anxiety or
depression. They said they could give me nothing at all then, I would
have to find a doctor (shrink) in order to get anything. Well, lo and
behold, no shrinks are willing to take new Medicare patients, like that
is something new. So I am at my wits end, and I also need your prayers,
support, ideas or anything you can to help me. BTW, at least my daughter
got into a program called MAP here, and they will pay for her hospital
bills, meds, etc.... there is that saving grace at least. I know all of
you have your own pain to deal with, and it is with some reservations I
write this. It seems these past few months all I have posted for is
asking help for me, I have been very unable to do all that I would like
to do in helping old friends and new ones in the TMIC family. This is a
continuous nightmare for all of my family, my other daughter and their
mom (my ex wife) are at their ends also. But my ex wife and I have
actually come together as a family unit to get through this, in itself
another miracle of sorts. But please pray for all of us, especially
Laurie; she has suffered enough for ten lifetimes in my eyes. Thanks to
all of you who have helped with your messaged of encouragement and
hope......
Blessings and Peace,
Bernie*
