Update

I want to thank everyone who donated to the GoFundMe my friend started or who sent direct donations.  I can't even explain to you how much it means.  I hate that we are even in this position and anyone who knows me knows I am usually the "helper" and am not good as asking for help.  It came in at just the nick of time.  I also want to thank our volunteer helper, April.  She has been amazing and I appreciate her more then I can express in words.   

Things are progressing, I suppose.  She is sleeping more and when she is up, her care is a lot and she is stubborn as a mule.  They brought in her hospital bed this week.

Anyone who cares to visit, should make plans to do so soon.  If not, no worries.  She tells lavish tall-tales and stories including most of you guys all the time.  Most of you guys have visited her in her mind just about every day.

Update - 2 Weeks Down

 I am sorry that I have not kept folks more up-to-date on the past couple weeks, but health wise, no news is good news.  Her condition has degraded some mentally, but she is still smiling, eating, and enjoying all the spoiling going on.


We recently received some great vibes, answered prayers, and an awesome gift!  


Great Vibes...too many to mention.  Thank you for everyone reaching out, the cards, the calls, the boxes...you have no idea how much they mean to Melissa, me and Michael.


Answered Prayers...our gofundme started it's first pay-out.  Cancer and just trying to spoil her has me just spending money I normally would not spend..so the timing of the first payout of this fundraiser could not have come at a better time.  The you to everyone who has donated.  Special thanks to Tammy Trivett for starting that fundraiser and sharing it on Facebook.  It is still open to donations - just click HERE if you want to donate.


We received an awesome gift from Noelle C. Loving "But Tomorrow" Foundation,  They provide assistance, education and support services to organizations, individuals and families, whether medical-related or otherwise, to improve the quality of life throughout the community.  Because of their gift, I can take better care of my wife and even created some memories this past weekend, with a day trip to Virginia Beach (to get takeout from her favorite place, Chix).
