Guest guest Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Hi Lottie, I am so sorry to hear Bobby's sick. As a mother, it's so hard to see our children ill. And a helpless feeling. I know you will be strong for him, but it can't be easy. Keep your head up - time will heal him. Have a Merry Christmas. Forward my wishes to Jimmie. Love, Jackie S. From: Lottie Duthu <lotajam@...> Subject: [ ] Prayers for Vanetta " CML " < > Date: Thursday, December 24, 2009, 1:08 AM Â What a lovely prayer for Vanetta to have a new beginning. You are always so thoughtful, Sue and they can certainly count on my prayers. This will be a sad Christmas for our family as we watch our oldest son, as he battles tuberculosis. He is so depressed that he will be on antibiotics for 18 more months. Please pray that my Bobby gets a chance for a new beginning. He is nauseated and throws up frequently. The sparkle in his eyes and his smile is gone, it's like there is nothing there but skin and bones. Everyone is afraid to go to his house, but he is not infectious at this stage. The only way you can catch it is if you breathe in the vapors from 3 feet away when he is infectious. It's hard for me to look at him without crying, or even think of him for that matter. I look for pictures of him in better days, but I can't erase the sound of his coughing from my ears. He loves it when I bring food from home, but since I picked up that bug at my brother's funeral, I have not been able to do anything. I finally broke down and went to my ENT and he put me on antibiotics, but I am trying to avoid them, since I get toxic poisoning from them, not to mention an intestional ulcer from gastritis, caused by all the antibiotics. Merry Christmas, Lottie Duthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Lottie, I am so very sorry to hear about Bobby's illness. As Jackie said, it is terribly hard seeing our children sick. No matter what the age, we want to make it " all better. " Hugs and prayers to you, my dear.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I couldn't have said it better. It takes it all out of you when your children are suffering! And of course it's hard for the ill person to believe they will ever get better. Treatment seems so interminable. You are all in my heart, on my mind, and in my prayers.
