A really tough few months

--- there is some graphic text below - not bad words, just talking about body issues ---

As you know its been a tough few months, health wise for me. Well you may not know that its also been a tough few months for a my family as well. My niece and nephew have been fighting illness (nothing major). My mom's back has been in VERY bad shape for the past month, it seems to have been muscle spasms and problems in her lower back. After a week of not really being able to stand up from a chair she went to the doctor and got on some meds to help her. Its about 50% better now, but its not great. She really needs to get better, she is headed to my sisters in NY where the weather is a lot colder, and could make her feel a lot worse. I'm praying the meds work better.

Well this is a lot but its just the beginning. Last Thursday and my mom was sitting there (she lives with us) watching tv with us when the phone rang. My mom couldnt tell who was on the phone. She got up to walk up to her room, and stopped dead in her tracks, and went white. This freaked me out, and after a few mins she went and sat back down, and i was trying to hear what was going on. After a while (10-15 mins) she got off the phone to tell us it was my other sister (in OH) calling from the hospital. My sister had come home from work (she lives alone) and she was not feeling well and she started to bleed from her body, and she called 911 and in the process of trying to get help she vommited blood into the phone. She then went into the hallway of her condo yelling for help, someone finally got her an ambulance, and she made it to the hospital. It seems she had a gastric ulcer that broke blood out into her body, and caused all the problems. But she also had some other issues and her white count was/is very low.

Life has also been slamming me financially. The bills from the previous medical issues as well as some vehicel issues were bad enough, but we found out that our master bedroom's bathroom toilet had been leaking under it for a while (who knows how long) and has ruined the floor. It will all have to be pulled up, and replaced, and possiblly even a joist or two replaced. And my part time job has not been bringing in a whole lot.

So if you could please take a few minutes to pray for my family's health and my financial issues. Prayers work, and yours would be more than welcome.

Thanks for listening.
