Hi everyone,

This has been a hard holiday. Angi's

hubby Mike and his sister were over.

Angi's and Mikes anniversary was 12-22-02

my brother's birthday was 12-22-31 or 32

and Dad's death was 12-26-04. So much not

to mention that I went out of it was hospitalied

and dont rememeber a thing for 12 days.

My Hepatic Encephalopathy hit hard due to build

up of ammonia levels. They almost put me on

hospice which would have definately killed me

but for the liver Dr. not going for it. Agressively

fighting for me telling Sharon this is just an

episode and she will wake up. The thing is I was

at first walking and talking but I dont remember.

It takes more of my memory each time. I dont want

to go like that but if i cant get a transpant I

will. I love my transplant team they are solely

for me and fight aggressively for my right to

live. Sharon feels like there is not choice

in it for her as my spokesperson and they told

her yes there is. We will tell you when there

is nothing more we can do for her.

I was so out of it that I didnt know my grand

kids were over and aparently I sat up and started

to fall forward and the youngest three 6,7,and 8

kept me from falling head first into the coffee

table which is metal and glass.

I am so grateful for them. Sharon came home

because she couldnt get ahold of me and found

them holding on to me and pushing me at the shoulders

to keep me from falling forward till their mom got

there. She had ran to the store and left them there

thinking i was asleep told them if i wanted something

to get it for me.

We are still trying to work things out with the

schedules so that someone is here all day every day

that Sharon is at work. Thats 3 occasionally 4 days

a week. Im afraid my memories of Angi and my brother

Lloyd and Mom and Dad and my son Ronnie will be taken

from me. Sorry didnt mean to dump on everyone like

this it just came pouring out. I have lost so much

and face losing more.

Ann

Having the courage to walk step by step each day.

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind always be on your back.
May the sun lie warm upon your face.
And until we meet again,
May the Lord hold you
In the hollow of His hand.

Im loving memory of my mom, 2007: My hero, The Wind Beneath My Wings
