Ed wants me to personally thank you all for the prayers from him. I cannot tell you how much this means to us who love this special woman.

We are still asking for continued prayers since she is not out of the woods yet. They increased her pain meds today and I have authorized them to put a PIC line in for her. The vent is not coming out anytime soon but she is trying so hard to breathe. Like I said, this woman is mad about what is happening and fighting the fight of a lifetime.

I have Power of Attorney for my Sweetness and plan on sitting down and doing her bills this weekend. I had it all together until I had to open her mail. In this large pile of misc bills were the organizations she donates to. They all have to do with animals, hungry/homeless children in RI, Make-a-Wish, and children with special needs, list goes on. This was very emotional for me but I made it through until I read her insurance policies. I lost it! Besides having us as primary beneficiaries, she has one policy just for me. I am so sorry I had to open these but had little choice in the matter. My heart and soul ached as I saw what she is doing for me......well that is until she sees what I did to her!!

I welcome any qualms she may have when she awakens and actually cannot wait to hear how mad she really is. Wake up Mommy, I want to listen to what you have to say!>>Believe51
