My husband is on the road, at this very moment, to Kansas City, KS. While it's just a three hour drive, I still get nervous when he's on the road. He'll be there for three days, returning Wednesday night. He's got a conference to attend at Fort Leavenworth.
Also, please say a prayer for our friends, Dana and JD. Dana has advance-stage Multple Sclerosis, and she cannot get around without JD"s help. JD had surgery two weeks ago on two discs on his spine. One disc was acting like a sponge and it sucked up another disc and shrunk it. JD had surgery to correct it, but it ended up with complications. So, he's been in traction for the past week and is in a lot of pain.
Well, Dana's mom came down to help Dana and bring her to the hospital, but mom is leaving tomorrow morning. Dana will not have anybody to help her, or bring her to the hospital. My husband will take Dana to see JD on Tuesday afternoon, after his conference meeting is over for that day, and spend the evening with them. JD will be in traction for the next five weeks.
I don't know who will take over, after Sean (my DH) leaves. I don't know if their friends have time to help Dana around the house or even help her move about. She literally cannot walk without help. She has problems wrapping her fingers around a fork and feed herself. I don't know if she has other family to come out to help. What makes it worse is Dana's sister also has MS. (I didn't make this up). Dana's mom had to fly back to Michigan because Dana's sister depends on mom to take care of her.
Please say a prayer for them both. They could really use it now. Thanks, ladies. I truly believe in the power of prayer.
