    Sis-in-Law needs a Prayer filled miracle

    For those of you following along on this journey, here is the latest. SIL had her last radiation treatment on 4/17. She said she is a little burnt and smells like she's been cooked. My nose does not work so well, so I can't smell it. She willingly agreed to be transferred to a rehab facility...

    Sis-in-Law needs a Prayer filled miracle

    This will probably be the last update for a few weeks. She was delivered here at my house Late at night on Wednesday the 20th. Transport was the delay there. They got her in and settled in the bed without issue. Thursday afternoon, she had an appointment at another location with the Doc that...

    Sis-in-Law needs a Prayer filled miracle

    Time for another good news, yet kind of crazy, update.... PET scan shows nothing else anywhere in her body - just the one large tumor in her left breast. Full results of a 2nd biopsy has not come back yet to tell them exactly what this tumor is made up of. From what I gather, the tumor has...

    Sis-in-Law needs a Prayer filled miracle

    I hear what you're saying, diy... However, the favorite daughter is in the hospital, so for now there is nothing that MIL would help my wife, the unfavorite, with at this time. We even told her she needs to take care of herself for a day and get her hair done and go shopping.

    Towing experts?

    They do sound painful at times, but really are not. Even my 5th wheel hitch creeks a little sometimes.

    Towing experts?

    Are they probably rated at just enough for the trailer? Yes, I'm sure they are. However, campers are notorious for not using a quality tire. They might meet the manufacturer specs, but won't last more than a year or two. Learned that with our 1st camper. Bought new in 2006 and in the 3rd...

    More good news, pending the biopsy result. Moved out of ICU over the weekend. Speech therapist is leaving the talk cap on the trach tube more often than not.

    Sis-in-Law needs a Prayer filled miracle

    Knowing my house is straightline between the 2 hospitals, it was both weird and kind of cool to see her fly over. Was a 17 min flight. Yet it is an hour drive from here. We can't make it down there today because of other pre-planned activities with our children, not even super bowl related...

    Our Husky is 1 and a half yr old. My son, and his wife's, Golden Retriever is 8 months old and is an inch taller, but not as long. They play hard together for about 30 min at a time and then they chill for 10 or so before getting back at it. Sometimes it is like WWE K9 style, with full body...

    Give me an education about this "PIRATE SHIP" method that has been discussed here.

    BTW - that would have been a Door jamb from MD to OK at 46 bucks. Pirate Ship was only 24.
