Barbara.....

Will be thinking of you and your family during these difficult times. Please
don't apologize for adding something personal that affects you and affects
your TM also. We all care.

I know how much the support and caring of others helps. I have received the
same concerning my daughter and her fight with Hodgkins. The stress is hard
on us with TM......but it's just a time I can't be concerning about myself.
My daughter comes first and always will. She's into her second week of
radiation and doing pretty well so far. The next 3 weeks will, most likely,
be more difficult.

You and your dad will be in my thoughts and prayers, Barbara.

Linda

but I consider some of you among my closest friends. I mentioned earlier my
dad's poor health -- yesterday he took a turn for the worse with a lung
infection with results similar to pneumonia (this on top of lung cancer and
heart failure) and he's on a respirator and feeding tube. We're leaving this
evening to try to drive out to Houston -- about 13 hours, more depending on
bathroom breaks -- you know how that goes. Tried to check on airfares --
horrendous without 7 day advance purchase. Explained it was a family
emergency, but still expensive. Don't know when we'll get back -- depends on
how he does. I have very much appreciated your warm thoughts and encouragement
and prayers concerning my dad since I mentioned him here on the list several
days ago and also concerning me and my health in the midst of this crisis.

Thanks,
Barbara H.
