The reason I was off line

> Hi everyone...I sure did miss you all! I was off line for over a
> month...so I wanted to take a few minutes and let everyone know what's
> been going on. I just got back on line last week. A lot of you knew
> about my daughter almost dying in March...she was on life support and in
> ICU because of her diabetes...she's doing...then in May...my father in
> law passed away...June and July were ok....Then in August (16th) my dad
> had a very bad stroke...we stayed at the hospital (University Hospital)
> in Cleveland while he was there...the spot in his brain where it
> bled...was a little bigger than the bottom of a pop can! He also had
> some bleeding outside of that area...and there is a "canal" going
> through your brain that was also filled with blood. We took him to the
> local hospital and they couldn't do anything...they said he probably
> wouldn't make it. We started the prayer chain right away...and he was
> flown to Cleveland...Thank God for his healing and the doctors at
> University Hospitals! Then he was transferred to a local nursing
> home....it was so sad...my dad has always been a very strong
> person...clear up to the day that he had his stroke....and to see him in
> the nursing home crying to come home was very hard...it broke my heart.
> So for a while I was at the hospital or nursing home all day...and part
> of the night. My mom and I and sometimes my one sister...would go to his
> therapy with him. He did very well. He was finally released from all of
> his doctors except his family doctor...at the end of last month. Believe
> it or not...he is almost back to normal. He walks...sometimes he uses
> his cane...just in case...he talks fine...he takes care of himself....we
> had so many doctors and nurses tell us that he is a miracle...they said
> with his condition...they never thought he would make it...he was only
> home from the hospital about 5 days...and his sugar crashed...(he's a
> bad diabetic) I thought he was going to die...I've never been around
> anyone when that happened...we called an ambulance and they knew what to
> do. I tested his sugar before they got here and it was 22....when they
> tested it...it was only 20...they gave him and IV and had us get him
> something to eat after he came out of it...it was terrible!...My
> computer crashed right around the time my dad has his stroke...so I
> didn't even have a computer for a month. Then Early last month...the
> first week of September...my husband lost his job...what a shock! Oh
> yeah...life has been a living hell for the last two years for my entire
> family...THEN...our 8 year old grand-daughter got hit by a piece of a
> falling tree...she was taken to a different hospital in Cleveland...she
> was put on life support...she has a severe skull fracture...her ankle is
> broken in two places...and she has a nasty cut on her leg...and lots of
> scratches and bruises. She is now at home recovering...but in a wheel
> chair...she can't put any weight on her ankle...she has a cast on it
> too. The skull fracture is healing ok...but still pretty big. The cut on
> her leg is very nasty...they keep cutting "dead skin" off of it. She
> will be in the wheel chair for at least 2 more weeks....then they're
> hoping her ankle is healed enough to put a walking cast on it. Poor kid.
> She's doing good and improving every day...so...if there is ANY good out
> of any of this...it's that we didn't lose anyone!
> Oh...yeah...forgot...my brother in law tried to commit suicide on
> Mothers Day...then he had a heart attack...in June...so earlier when I
> said June was ok...it wasn't...ahhhh....I'm hoping and praying that the
> worst is behind us for a while...my whole family is stressed. My husband
> did get another job...about 2 weeks ago....he works for the city ....it
> doesn't pay much right now...and we lost our insurance...which really
> worries me...I have liver problems and diabetes...I'm supposed to go to
> the doctor this month for my 3 month check up....If we can just hold on
> till spring...we'll be ok...my husbands boss (and the big supervisor)
> are very impressed with my husbands work and the fact that he can run
> all the equipment...that they said they are going to hire him full
> time..but can't do it till spring...after that if everything goes ok
> he'll make good money and have very good benefits...So...in
> closing...thank you all for your friendship and prayers over the
> months...and please continue to remember me and my family in your
> prayers...Thanks everyone~~~Sharon.....I'm so glad to be back!
