July 4th Crisis!
I know this is not the place for this but I had to do something and anyways I took my wife Pat to the emergency room at the hospital with severe pains in her stomach. They have diagnosed it as a blockage from her intestine to her colon. She broke down because her son is coming from Vermont tomorrow with her grandson whom she has not seen except for pictures and this is so hard to type  ]
This is really getting to be too much to bear with her cancer and she has fought so hard for over 2 years. I'm sorry for coming here but I am having a hard time right now with this and you guys are like family to us.
I just ask for your prayers and maybe she can fight one more time. Johnny

Johnny,
So sorry to hear about Pat's condition. My prayers are for both of you during this hard time. Please let Pat know we are pulling for her.

Johnny;
May God grant Pat the strength, and some to you too Johnny. A visit from that grandson, even while she's in hospital, might cheer her on.
Tell Pat we're all thinking of her and wish you both the best.

I'm so sorry to hear about all of this Johnny. If you and Pat can just fight through this together, better times are ahead. We will all pray for you. Be strong.

As you can see from the above 2, the entire Wisconsin contingent is pulling for the both of you.
My family's prayers are with the 2 of you.

Count South Carolina in the prayers from Sea to Shining Sea! When you feel that warmth outside, it's really all of us surrounding you with love.

Thanks everyone you are the best and I let Pat know and it brought a tear to her eyes but that was a tear of happiness. She has had no more pain after one shot of morphine and the only thing that bothers her is the tube in her nose which makes her throat sore.
The doc is watching her real close and no set date for release. Her son will be in tonight from Vermont and he does know her condition and is anxious to see her. I am so tired and need to sleep and I am sure I will crash one of these days. Dark Horge you got any of your famous remedies for me!  Will keep you posted on what is happening. Johnny  |

Don't forget to take care of yourself Johnny. She needs you to be there for her, and you can't do that if you are estra run down. I know it is hard, I have been there. Adrenaline and espresso only lasts so long.
Love from Wisconsin.
