Moving Forward


We have no answers on my husbands test. CBC, Hep, Stool panels are all normal. Frustrated with how slow the medical process goes, we took advice from a friend- apple cider vinegar to drink each morning- to straighten out his gut bacteria. It seems to have helped. His hunger is back but he is not healthy. Will wait and see how it goes. There is a colonoscopy coming soon. All has to wait until the new year and medical insurance.

On a good note my friend got married. She and her fiance have each lost a spouse. She cleaned his house one day and he was smitten. After a year of courtship they married. Two very kind people who fell in love. I am so blessed to see them together as husband and wife. And she will be moving closer to our farm. I will be very fortunate to have Alfreda and Gene nearby.

I have been busy sewing memorial pillows for a friend who faces her first Christmas without her husband. I sewed each of his shirts into 8 pillows for her adult children and grandchildren.

Tough Time


So this December has been gutting. My husband who is not yet 50 years of age is ill. We have had test done for pancreas, liver and blood infections. His lower belly is swelling and he is losing weight. His liver is two times as large as it should be. He is not getting any nutrients from the food he eats.
He does not drink, do drugs nor smoke and is very active. But this is where we are with no answers.
We have had X-ray, ultrasound and blood work. Waiting on a Hep panel to see if it is that.
We have no answers and no idea the cause.  
Praying for answers.
