Christmas Countdown - 2012

[shellie12]

Thank you again for all of the prayers. Harlowe is at the vet now having more tests run. They think it could be Addison's Disease. At this point, I would welcome a diagnosis. Then we could make her better. I can't wait to get her back home later tonight. She will be prescribed some medicine to stimulate her appetite, so we can finally get her eating again, hopefully by tomorrow.

I got some really good news today, my latest biopsy came back "negative" for melanoma. Thank God for that. And thank you for all of your thoughts & prayers, they were such a big help! And such a comfort to me. xo


hi glad to hear your tests come back clear what did i tell you ????
Hopefully they will get to the bottom of what is wrong with harlowe that is the worst thing about a animal they cant tell you ??

addisons is to do with glands that sit at the top of the kidneys, on each side. if it wood be that and mind you she has the symptoms it can be controlled i think by steroids
but hopefully your get it sorted.

Update: I am SO SORE!!! After the biopsies (which took a little longer than expected), I had to have another mammogram!!! Talk about pain!!! Then I started bleeding again. So they hurried and took me back into the "surgery" room to stop the bleeding with, can you guess??? Super glue!!! You cannot imagine how much THAT hurts when it starts to dry and crackle!!! I will be sore for a few days and I should know something by Friday. My doctor is so good about that!!! I do have to tell you that I have had SUCH PEACE about everything, except the pain, of course!!! And I won't do the hand jive or charades for a long time!!! From the bottom of my heart: Thank you all for your prayers and kind thoughts!!!

hi am so sorry to hear that. guess there is no easy pain way of doing it. with the help of god and the saints in heaven. your get the right news. thinkng about you

Good morning all! I did not sleep as good last night,so I decided to just go ahead and get up before I overslept. I am finally catching up on missed sleep from last week I guess. It is cool and 44F outside and clear,when I let the dog out just now I noticed how clear it was. My mom and older sister are flying in town today around 430. I am looking forward to seeing them although I know I will really be missing my dad...I talk to him almost every day,I just know he wishes he was up to come down and visit. I just have to look foward to next year when he can come,otherwise I get depressed just thinking about it. I hope everyone has a good thursday!!

Good Morning, my over-the-hump, heading-downhill-to-the-weekend Friends!

Have a good time at the 'Pines last night?
Were the fired twinkies as good as Carl claimed?
Did you get to try any of the sweetart coffee blend, or did Bing consume all of it?

Regardless, it's time to move on to.........
The count:
Days to the Season: 306
Days to Christmas Day: 348
Now under a week to our first Milestone of 2012 - the 300-day Season mark!

Coolish and and damp here with our temp at 48 degrees, currently.
It should be a nice sunny day though, with a high in the 60's by this afternoon.
Pretty good!

You have a Thrilling Thursday, Folks.
Weekend Eve tomorrow again!
<< So soon?? >>
You bet!!
(The calendar don't lie.)

Today looks like it will be slow at work which I guess is good because I need to catch up on paperwork. I just got off the phone with my mom and sister and they are getting ready to board the plane in portland. I am looking forward to eating my mom's cooking again. I sure misssed it at Christmas this past year. Just noticed we are almost under 300 days to xmas season 2012!!! I bet we get to 50k posts on this thread too!!

I woke up to rain, too - watch out later in the day and into tonight - we have 1 to 3 inches of snow forecast for us and what we get you usually get a bit of, too.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

Nancy brought home the paper yesterday. Our area is so small, the local paper only comes out once a week! I was on the front page being sworn in, and there was another article further in with pictures of me giving a plaque and key to the city to the former mayor. More celebrity!

It's finally a little cool outside, and I love it!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Just a quick stop ... Thursday morning, and I have 26 pages of executive bios to proofread ... Rainy here, but out west where xmas366 is, he's probably getting slammed with snow this morning.

I hope there are some answers for Harlowe soon, so you can begin to treat what's making her ill. And thanks for the good news about your biopsy!

I hope you're less sore and more comfortable today. Hoping very strongly that you'll have good news for us soon. Take care of yourself---we're right behind you.

I should know something by Friday.

I'm still praying for you.

Good morning, MMC! I have one class this morning (which I didn't make it to Tuesday because I was sick) so hopefully it goes by quickly. This has truly been the longest week of my life and I cannot wait until evening tomorrow when I can finally relax. My mom called the doctor first thing this morning and she has an appointment to get the lump on her throat looked at in an hour and a half. So please, keep her in your thoughts in prayers for that. Then she has her other appointment a couple of hours later, but they won't know anything for that then.

I really think this thread is going to break some major records this year. I cannot believe that it's mid-January and we are still posting pages and pages a day. I love this forum because everyone truly posts genuine comments and not things just to increase the post count. I have seen that so many other places and I love that MMC is filled with genuine people that actually read everyone's posts!

Have a good day!!

I'll be praying for her.

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It's going to be a cold and windy day here in Central Indy with 2 to 4 inches of snow expected by tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow morning they are talking about wind chills well below zero so I'll be staying home until it warms up. I have some cleaning to do today and then I plan on kicking back and watching some of the nascar practice from Daytona. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mgramsey]

Hello everyone. We continue to have a very odd winter. It's been too warm all week but the forecast is for us to get 3 inches of snow tonight and a high temp of 26 tomorrow. I wish we would get a foot of snow.

We are praying for all our MMC family. There seems to be so many health issues.

Have a blessed day.

Life is a continuous soundtrack.

Music is the common denominator of our collective life experience. If we have experienced something, observed something, or otherwise had contact with something, chances are there's a song about it. Corporate vampire radio just won't play but perhaps one eighth of what's out there. I do my best to find and share the rest here and elsewhere.

Music does describe a lot and certain songs can really be emotional for me as well as those that make me laugh!

Good evening, friends~

I'm heading to The Pines, now!! Sounds like the party is in full swing!
Save me some food & drinks, and I'll need some of that strong coffee blend of Carl's for the trip back home!

Thank you again for all of the prayers. Harlowe is at the vet now having more tests run. They think it could be Addison's Disease. At this point, I would welcome a diagnosis.

I noticed you were on the way to the Pines just as Made went to sleep. You really missed what Made was doing! =)

I am glad your test results were good! I hope Harlowe gets well soon! Did you ever try the baby food? I am not sure Harlowe will eat it or not but worth the shot! =)

My mom and older sister are flying in town today around 430. I am looking forward to seeing them although I know I will really be missing my dad...I talk to him almost every day,I just know he wishes he was up to come down and visit.

I hope you enjoy their visit and hopefully you can see your dad soon!

As Dawg asked, is there an online paper? If not, can you scan the article and post it here?

Very exciting year for you!

 

[xmas365]

You have no idea. Sweetarts are my kryptonite. :-?

I think I want Sweetarts now. cheesy

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

Okay Made and Coach, dancing on the table is one thing but what the heck where you thinking when you did this???? =)
