    Talk about getting kicked while you’re down.

    Where do I even begin …

    It’s been an indescribable five or so weeks for us and truthfully posting a bad fishing report would be welcome distraction.

    but no.

    A little over two weeks ago we lost my wife’s Mom.
    Totally caught us off guard and it ended with my wife and Father-in-Law forced into those unthinkable situations… having to make gut wrenching, devastating decisions.

    In the grand scheme of things a rather benign incident landed my Mother-in-Law in the ER. A nose bleed / coughing up some blood got her there but the issues were quickly resolved in hospital. Drs felt it may have been a medication issue. They wanted to watch her for a day or two. In those few days things spiraled out of control. X-rays, CT scans, Biopsy’s, Cytology reports and emergency abdominal surgery at 2 am proved very grim circumstances. Ultimately it all seemed to mean nothing. A lung mass had consumed her entire left side, the emergency surgery had taken 25 percent of her large intestine…. She was now on life support.
    The challenges placed upon her body were just too much, nothing could be done …. She never made it home.

    My wife has naturally been devastated and continues to struggle with her loss …. Compounding it was the fact that my in-laws’ would have had their 48th wedding anniversary last week …and of course Mothers Day.

    To my Mom- in- Law ... may you rest in peace, free from pain, you will be greatly missed.



    The “kicked” part … and further adding insult to injury
    My Mom was to help us by watching our two year old son while we were on the bedside vigil with my Mother in law. Two days prior to my Mother in law’s passing, my Mom had a scheduled mammogram. The scan reveals a small spot and the Dr wanted a biopsy right away… It’s breast cancer. Today she has surgery. The Doctors are cautiously confident it was caught early so we are very hopeful.

    Mom … Fight this with all you’ve got … your family and Grandson are counting on it.

    God please give her the strength ….

    Prayers to your family. Let's pray that they caught it early in your mom - The good news is that there are a lot of treatments available - My mom is going on 8 years since hers was diagnosed and treated.

    Hang in there
