My dad called this evening; I knew something was up - he never calls me in the evening. My mom has diverticulitis, and has had an apparent infection for a few weeks, with pain, running to the bathroom, etc. Today the doctor sent her to the ER, and she was admitted. She's on an IV - he wants nothing solid going through her.
This scared me: they found "cysts" on her liver, but my dad said the dr. "didn't thing they were malignant". What?? What the heck does that mean? So she's there, probably worrying herself to death because Thanksgiving is in 3 days, and she always cooks. She's 73.
So I was already upset about that when I received the news that one of my daughter's 14-year-old friends passed away tonight from the cancer that she's fought since the age of 6. She's been so strong for all these years; but the cancer came back with a vengeance this Fall, and she just couldn't beat it. My heart just breaks for her family. She never got to go to high school, will never go to prom, or college, or do teenage stuff, and there are no words for how sad and unfair this seems.
I see a lot of people in pain in this forum and I hate to even ask, but if you guys could spare any vibes, we sure could use them here in West Virginia.
