Sending many prayers and the hope that Sheila knows that there is much, much love surrounding her.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Adding my prayers to the list. Sheila has always been there for us and is a beautiful soul inspiring us at every moment. You will pull through as always!!!

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

I talked to Michael (Sheila's husband) today he said they are trying to keep her pain under control she is very nauseated from the pain meds. Hopefully the doctors can get this under control and get her well again!!

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Thank you for the update Jen and I continue to keep Sheila in my prayers and do hope they can make her more comfortable. x

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Talked to Mom tonight on the phone she said they were going to switch her medication around tonight to manage her nausea better. I told her I posted a thread for her on here and told her many of you are lifting her up with your love, prayers and support. She is very thankful and greatful to all of you in her "Her2 Family" CUZ IT IS A FAMILY to quote my Mom. I was very sad to learn of hutchibk's passing I have not been able to bring myself to tell my Mom about it as she was a good friend of my Mothers. Mom hates to lose sisters to this disease. Please pray for a miracle Mom's neck nodes are progressing since she has been there her counts aren't good enough for chemo. She needs prayers for STRENGTH to get through this!!

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Thank you Jen for keeping us posted. You are such an wonderful, caring and loving daughter to your mom. She is blessed to have you as you are to have her.

I am praying and will continue too. I am so sorry you are all having to go through this.

Love and Peace,

Mary Jo

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Thank you for the update, Jen. Your mother is a wonderful person full of warmth and wisdom and courage. Prayers for healing coming her way.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Thanks Mary Jo. I found out last Friday that Jasmine broke the rod in her back AGAIN 6 months after her spinal fusion surgery which SHOULD have been the last one. :-/
I still NEED my Mom we ALL do. She needs strength to carry on her work HERE!!

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Dear Jen -
So many of us are turning our prayers in Sheila's direction, that she is able to fight her way through her current set back.

She is a fabulous mother and knows all too well how very much her family needs her and vice versa.

Wish I could come and sit with her. I know if she can, she will make it!

P.S. Jen - so sorry to hear about Jasmine and her new trouble. She needs her grandma.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Dear Jen,

thank you for the update. My heart breaks knowing that your mom is going through a difficult time. i keep praying for her and for all the sisters in this group. Your mom is such an inspiration to me. i have had the chance to share time with her at the SABCS, wonderful lady. Please give her a hug on my behalf and tell her that I am praying for her. I love her and send her kisses and well wishes.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Dear Jen,
Thanks for the update - and I also am sorry to hear of jasmine's latest setback. She is a real inspiration to her grandma, as Sheila is to all of us. I remember Christmas shopping with your mom in San Antonio for a Michael Jackson t shirt for Jas.

Sweet Sheila, old roomie and H2B, my prayers and thoughts are always with you as you know. Lifting you up in prayer right now. Know that you are wrapped in God's love as well as mine.

Dear Jen,
Thank you for the update on your mom. I am glad you were able to let her know how much love and positive energy is coming from our merry band of warriors.

Your mom has always lead the charge for many of us and we are anxious to see her posts on the site once again.

Sending one more powerful hug to let her know how much she is loved.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Hi Jen, My heart goes out to you and your Mom! I would love to send Your mom a card! Should I send it to her home or hospital rm? If the hospital could you tell which one? I too love your Mom dearly and she has helped me also so much! I'm praying every day for her and your family, and wait for her posts again here.

Thank you,

Nancy

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

I too would love to send a card to our dear Sheila to lift her spirits and give her a tangible reminder how much she is loved and thought of.

Please let her know the multiple hugs she is getting all day long.

(((Hugs))),

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Talked to Mom for a couple of minutes she sounds a little better they are going to be giving her blood because her count is low. She may get to go home in a day or 2. I pray that she can strong enough again to fight. I CAN'T lose her!!

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Praying hard, as I love your Mom to bits and I 'm so worried for her! Sheila will do it and come around again I'm sure! xxx

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

We can't lose her either, Jen! Praying hard!

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

I'm with Laurel on this.

I'm praying for your mom right now.

Love

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Sheila has always been such a source of strength for me. She has given me such great advice in her responses to my threads, and has always been such a great example to everyone who reads her posts. Im so sorry she is in so much pain. I send many prayers that she will be surrounded with God's love and divine protection. Please let her know we are all thinking of her..all the time.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Sheila has been such an inspiration ever since I found this site. Prayers for pain relief and improvement in her counts to continue on with treatment.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Jen,
Your Mom is special. I have never met her, but we have the same doctor. She is in good hands. I will pray for her...and you. Daughters need their mom's. Hugs to you!

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Dear Sheila,
May all of our prayers reach you and help get you through this hospital stay. May your platlets get stronger and may the pain subside. We love you and are praying for you to get better. You are such an inspiration and voice on our Her2 site. We are all behind you. The best to you and your family at this crummie time. I wonder if Tiptoe is out there and could come by for a visit.

With love, Catherine

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

This is Pat in Louisville and Tip has been with me
to the Derby and all summer with horses and blue-
grass. I will be glad to send Tip anywhere or take
him to Fl again where I got her from Suzane in May.

Has not been in any trouble and my dog Madi has
sometimes wanted to take over the care.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Sheila is still in my thoughts and prayers.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Prayers and positive energy....

Does anyone know if Sheila has been able to return home?

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Talked to Mom yesterday afternoon she said she they were sending her home. Please continue to pray that there are more options out there and she can get strong enough to continue fighting. I can't lose my Mom.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Thank you for the good news that she can come home, where I am sure Sheila will get more and better rest than in a bustling hospital!

Nothing like your own bed, family, dogs and hubby to see to your needs in the peace of home.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

I agree, there is no place ike home and nobody like family...

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

All so true.
And we are all praying and sending healing thoughts.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

I fear she is giving up. This KILLS me. I don't know what to do.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Big hugs and prayers for all of you, Jen.

Paula

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

I am STILL keeping dear Sheila in my prayers.
She has been so strong for so long, fearlessly forging ahead with anything new that would knock back the beast.

Her body may have reached all it can take, much as I hope this is NOT true.

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Dear Jen,
Your mom is such a special person, and along with everyone else, I pray for her continued strength. She has been through so much...a true lover of life driven by her love for you, Jasmine and the rest of her family.

I think Steph, as usual, has said it perfectly. Joanne too.

You say you don't know what to do; and how could you? When what you really want to do, probably, is make it all go away, somehow fix it. I think your job is easier, and harder, at the same time - to just love your mom back. take care of yourself. Stay strong. Breathe.

Remember, you and your mom are wrapped in our healing prayers and love.

Chris

Re: Prayers needed for Sheila
 

Jen,

Please tell your Mom that we are thinking of her and remembering both of you in our prayers.
