It's a little bit late but I didn't want to talk about it before. My uncle passed away on Sunday evening. He died peacefully in his bed. I don't know if he was alone or if my cousin found him. I believe my uncle would have waited till he was by himself. He called my dad, wrote a letter to my other uncle, and texted both his daughters before he fell asleep for the last time. I got a call and went over there around 9pm, and found my cousin in a state I'd never seen him in...but there was a chaplain there, and his scoutmaster was also with him. The scoutmaster and his wife have been a family friend for years, and were actually MY first friends when I came to Amarillo.

He struggled with emphysema and COPD for the entire time I've known him, so while I'm sad he's gone, I'm glad he's not suffering anymore. My cousin is now a homeowner at 20, with a paid off good mpg car, motorcycle, and a 1990 GMC that needs a lot of work before it will live again, but he's got the knowledge to make it work.

My uncle set him up pretty well, in spite of being broke all the time. Maybe that was why. I dunno. I need to go check on my cousin later on and make sure he's ok. It's so weird being in that house now.

Sorry, bud. My prayers for peace to you and your family.
 
Please send your prayers for my precious Aunt Ellen. She's continuing her tour of Tennessee hospitals. She's been at Erlanger (Chattanooga) for the last 19 days (her second visit). She'll be leaving Erlanger to a rehab facility to get her stronger and then on to Vanderbilt (Nashville) for surgery. Her diagnosis is quite frankly unclear. There's a tumor that (apparently) Erlanger is unable to deal with. She's a salt of the earth woman and has been the glue that held our family together since my grandmother passed 9 years ago. I (and my children) love her dearly. She needs her strength for the road ahead and she's very weak from her combined hospital stays.
 
Please pray for my family as I just got word my last remaining grandparent, my mother's mother, passed away about 10 minutes ago. She is the grandmother who was 100 and had the stroke back a few months ago. She lived a long and wonderful life and passed peacefully without pain or suffering. My aunt and brother were there when she passed. I'm ready for this year to be over, we've lost 3 matriarchs in 11 months.
 
Please send prayers for my mom and my family. My uncle passed away this morning after a short illness. This is the third time I've had to tell my mom that one of her siblings died.
 
I'm very sorry for your family's loss. It's hard to tell someone of the death of a sibling, and even harder to hear. Peace and love be with you.

Thanks LTD.
 
We literally just got back in town from attending my grandmother's funeral. I'm truly sorry to hear of your family's loss. Death sucks.
 
JustDenise got a troubling call regarding her mom in Panama City, she's been taken to the hospital.

Please keep her family in your prayers.
 
Update from JustDenise-

Her mom is on total life support and non-responsive. They have cleared one artery, but another is blocked and they can't get to it without open heart surgery. And they don't think she can survive that right now.

So it's looking grim right now.

She thanks you for your prayers.
 
Just an update..

The good: Her mom is still on life support but is breathing more than the ventilator is supplying, the initial fever she had when admitted has come down to slightly above normal. Although they're waiting on a neuro assessment, she has shown some physical activity (arm/leg movements) when her sedation was dialed down. They may be able to perform steps of smaller procedures instead of doing open heart if she keeps improving.

The bad: She has had declining kidney function in the past years, and this has totally wiped them out, she'll need dialysis starting tomorrow. There's currently no way to know if she'll wake up, or what functions she may retain if she wakes up. Heart surgery is not off the table by any means, but is contingent on how well she keeps recovering and other procedures success.

In other words, while it's still too early to tell, she's improved somewhat but certainly not out of the woods.

And speaking for Denise, and myself, I want to just say thanks for the prayers and big thank-you to GD for his understanding and support right now.
