Darling Melissatwa... I’m less than a hour away... if there’s anything I can do for you and your family... I’m on the way.. stay strong and keep the faith.. lots of prayers are going up for you all...🙏🏽❤️🥰 

Thank you so much, my dear neighbor! I really appreciate the kindness in that message. I think there is nothing anyone can do, but we wait and pray and hope. My daughter's oldest and best friend messaged her yesterday (again) to ask how she was doing. My girl said she was doing "ok." Her friend replied to that with, "Honey, you would say that from your casket. How are you really?" that is exactly my girl. She is so strong. So when the pain is so bad she can't pretend at all anymore, it is beyond horrible. But, yesterday she saw an acupuncture Dr, which helped bring the pain level down quite a bit for a while. She will go back this afternoon. It is the one thing that can always help! In turn, it helps me knowing she is feeling better!  

All we can do is pick ourselves up and start again.  

Oh mama bear, my heart hurts for you and your baby girl. Praying. 🙏❤️ You will all be ok with time. At least there’s some improvement, even if minimal and slow, right? Hang strong Melissa. 🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹 

Sending my prayers for you and your family!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 

You know I'm praying! 

I’m sorry your family is going through this, Melissa. 💖 I hope your baby girl recovers asap and that the pain goes away. Happy to see you back and appreciate the update. Please take care and hug your babies. Thinking of you and sending lots of love and strength your way.  

I hope it all gets better, Melissa. Thinking of you and your family. You definitely do need to take care of you and your loved ones. rest.  

Yes, Pambear, all we can do is move forward. Wifey, thank you, dear. I am so grateful for all of you praying for us and for caring. Arkie, right now I am waiting for my girl in another medical appointment. I am so thankful for people to help her. Yes, Princess, I know. I know how much you care and your support has helped me so very much. NewnameMM, thank you! We are just taking one day at a time... Sometimes one hour or one minute. br_e_co, thank you! I know being off my diet won't help me be stronger or better able to manage, so here I am! Thank you for your encouragement. We are working toward being at peace with all the changes and challenges. I hope good can come from all this and maybe finally we could find the cause of all her pain. Maybe.... ❤️ 

Hoping your daughter improves.  

Thank you, Erquiaga. That is a comfort to me. We pray for the "impossible" that JoHannah will be healed from her head injury from before... That the cause of her pain might finally be discovered.  

Amen! And, thank you, WFN.  

I might not find the words to say but I truly hope that your daughter will feel better and that you will have no stress! We feel their pain so much! 

I will be praying for your daughter. I pray that God gives you strength and comfort during this time and also that her pain goes away. It is truly hard for a parent when their child is suffering. Take care dear. 

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter and will pray for her and your family. Hang in there. 

Thank so very much, Ireland, Roxy Marie and bearnoggin. The prayer, support, and true understanding is so appreciated and really helps so much.  

Been praying for you all. Is your daughter any better? is there an update 🙏💐🙏

carol and lydium, thank you so very much. My update is that this is the first day I feel I can breathe! She went for a little walk today after her acupuncture treatment, and tonight she was even laughing a little! When she had the surgery to remove the glass on Monday, that will be a relief for sure. And she has an appointment with a neurologist at the university of washington headache center on Tuesday. It feels like help is on the way. Hree days at emergency rooms and urgent care made for some tough times. To see her looking more normal and herself is just beautiful for me. She still is in a lot of pain, but it isn't overwhelming every sense like it was.  

The surgery is this coming Monday. Thank you for asking and caring. I feel so much better today.... Because she is feeling a bit better! ❤️
