nan, it is true the strong go through more to get stronger and yes we can yell at God and tell him enough. Sometimes it helps, sometimes he has other plans. I know this because part of what you said is my life also and let me tell you if we didnt have God in it, I would be in an insane asylum. But as the strong get stronger, we have a lot of friends that give us a lift to keep us going. I pray that God will give you what you need to be stronger and get through it all. Just know that we all love ya here... Take care, and God Bless. Barbara aka bj PRAYERS FOR DAD Well it is 11:30 and I am just getting back from the hospital. Myfather had a heart attack and he is in ICU. They said he was stablefor the night and for us to go home instead of sitting in the waitingroom. Which I did against my will. He died last year from anarteriagram right before my eyes and they brought him back. But hehas so much blockage that there is nothing they can really do. SO theDr. wanted my sister and I to make some life or death decisions. Heis looking at her (which is another story but he is her Dr.alsobecause she has already had 4 open heart surgeries and just last yearhe put stints in because she had blockage.. and this Tues she issuppose to have a liver biopsy because they just put her on the livertransplant list) and at me with my bald head because in the rush Iforgot I didnt have my hat on and is trying to figure out of the 3 ofus who is well enough to make a decision. We just had to laugh onthat one,I said just dig a big hole and throw us all in. She is myonly sister and is only 43. Well my dad said he didnt want any test,machines or cpr. I am totaly devastated he is only 77 and my mom diedat 59.So it looks like I will be busy crawling (not kidding) thruthe halls of the hospital for awhile between her and my dad. I justpray thats all I will be doing and nothing worse. Heaven knows whereI am going to find the strength, because I have been having suchextreme fatigue, muscle weakness and nausea. But if God is giving meyet another test I just hope I at least make a C average on it. Idont need to pass with honors.haaha Sorry if I am rambling on but Idont think I can take anymore stress right now and this was my onlyway of letting go of some.We always have one disater after another inour family and it just seems no let up. I always told Kim my daughterthat God gives only the strong ones the problems because he knowsthat they can handle them. Well she told me to tell him that we arenot strong anymore. But he knows that we are so good at it that hejust keeps them coming. Oh well I am going to try and get some rest(no sleep)and let God take over , I'm tired. Please remember my family in yourprayers and I will be doing the same for each of you since it seemslike we are all having our own personal crisis. Love, prayers andhugs (which I could use alot of right now)

, go the GNC (General Nutrition Store) and get your dad some COQ10,

100mg in gelcap form and give to him twice a day. They lost me twice when I

had my heart attack, once in CCU and at home. Both times they had given up

on me practically. But, I made it and had 5 bypasses, had two more

blockages but my veins were too small to work with the surgeon said. After

surgery when I went to get my vitamins, the manager of the store told me he

wanted me to talk to this guy working for him. The guy told me that the

doctors had told his dad a transplant was his only hope. Time had just

about run out when he asked his dad one more time to take COQ10. He finally

agreed and when he went back to his doc, the doc told him he didn't need the

transplant anymore, he couldn't explain it. I only know that it has really

helped me and now my cardiologist tells me that my bypasses aren't working,

that my heart is functioning on its own. He says that isn't supposed to

happen. I took my Q10 to show him what I was taking and he says, " I don't

need to see that, I know all about it. I take it myself. " Of course, my MD

doesn't approve and gives me the smirky grin when I mention it. But, I know

it helps me. I've quit taking it 3 times and each time got to feeling so

bad could hardly get outta bed each am. I'm back on it now to stay. Ok,

sorry for being such a blabmouth, just tho't this is worth a try for both

your sis and dad. Talk to your cardiologist. Here's praying for all of

you. You really have your share of pain right now. God will see you

through.

Love and God Bless,

Jo

, this is Judy Ostry, I haven't been on line for the past week so I missed all the goings on. How is your dad? How about your sister> And how the heck are you hanging on to your sanity? I guess the same way we all do, one step at a time. Having been sick since I was 14 months old, I really understand the questions of how much can we take? Apparently quite a lot, as I (and my family) have been tested since the day I got sick, and I'm not too certain about the grades I've gotten over the years. And yes I have yelled and screamed at God, and then cried in apology. While I am so angry that he could be putting us thru so much, I am also so very grateful that He has given us the courage to keep on going. And I know that you will too. Not because you particularly want to, because I know that death doesn't seem so bad sometimes, BUT because you have family and friends who love you and they need you and you just won't let them down...I think it's passed down in the DNA between mother and child. Altho' it also seems to pass on horizontally to everyone you love. I know how hard it is for you right now, but please remember you have all of us praying for you and your family. And if there is ONE thing that God listens to, it is PRAYERS! So, as my mom told me years ago, "Give your troubles to God, He's up all night anyway." God bless you and hang in there, this too shall pass. Love, Judy PRAYERS FOR DAD Well it is 11:30 and I am just getting back from the hospital. Myfather had a heart attack and he is in ICU.
