I know that in our networks of health, you have met many doctors and their health teams. If you know any of the following, please let them know how thankful that we are and that we know without their help, we would not have gotten this far in Phillip's treatments. Dr Jeffery Tharp MD --- Hiram Dr. Bruce Goldsweig MD, Cancer Specialist - Hiram - who reccomended... Dr Sagar Lonial, MD,Specialist in Multiple myeloma, Winship at Emory. May God bless and guide their hands, Denise

Thank you! I hope your daughter is still doing fine. As a mother and grandmother, taking care of children was different. I do not mean to belittle what you went through, I have been along a similar journey before. But I always had my husband by my side when things were a bit more than I could handle alone. Now I have to do something I have never expected to do in my life. But wait... I have said those words before. And you know what? I was never alone. God was there. Family and friends came out of nowhere. God bless you and thank you for your kind words. Denise

Thank you my friend, I always know you are only a call away. But I think right now, God has the heavier part of the load. There has just been so much happening within my family, that all I could do was give it to him. Phillip is going to be fine. But I am scared of so many other things and having to drive back and forth while he is in the hospital is just one of the things. I Think it is time for me to go find that mountain that I can go yell from, because, I am certainly scared of the other things. Coffee? LOL

Hello everyone, thanks for your kind patience with my sending notes. And thank you for your prayers and phone calls, they have certainly been heart warming! It seems like only yesterday that Phillip's tests came back telling us that he had cancer. It was actually October 18,2010. By his birthday in December, Phillip was going through all kinds of test and learning the routine at Winship. Winship is a part of Emory that is researching a cure for all cancers. Lol, you may remember our fun of trying to find an Open MRI that would accomidate my sweetie. I learned who had the better coffee

Welcome to Paradise Brigette, because I know that is where you are. My thoughts and prayers go out to this family. I wish I had known about the service but I was busy with Phillip and his appointments and did not get on the computer that much. I have just found out about Brigette completing her journey here. My heart hurts and my eyes are full of tears for the family that will miss their child. But remember, she had completed her journey and she got to go home. May God bless you and wrap his loving arms around you. Denise

While riding down the East-West Connector this morning going to an appointment, I saw the "Store Closing" signs for the first time. After my appointment I stopped in the Border's store to check out the sales and to see the friends I had made there. The sale today was 25% to 50% plus another 10% off with our Border's card. Right now 200 stores are going to close. 6,000 people are to lose their jobs.They do not plan to close any of their Walden Book Stores. I am so sad and will truly miss the service that was a speciality of Borders! As for the M&Ps... I lived in Douglasville

I draw the line at giving my pass words unless I have broken laws. They can read any of my public sites... heck, what do I have left to hide? LOL BUT, when it comes to anyone working with prisoners, that can be very touchy. I think the Officers deserve privacy but not their prisoners. Mull that one over. I am still scratching my head over how it has become important for the prisoner's to reach out and "touch" so many online.

Yes and yes!! Just what every parent needs is someone who takes drugs taking care of their child! Not only that, IMHO, I believe there should be random checks. Call them to come right then... not the next day or next week.

I have not gone to read any of the sites... just checked out a few of the U-tube clips. But aren't schools on the no no list for placing items?

Thank you for the list. I think the places we are to go are connected to the group that are trying to help us with finaces. Don't quote me on that but, if we can choose where to go, I would love to go closer to home. It does make a big difference as to whether you have insurance or not. Or if your insurance will cover certain charges. So far, the insurance Phillip has through work has not paid on the hospital bill from where he had prostrate problems. That was months ago. I was lead to believe that it only covered $1500 a year. Either way it is as though we have no coverage. Thanks agai

Your right, he is not a little man. But big enough to wrap his arms around me when I need them. After nearly 34 years, that has been many times We have used the paths you mentioned many times when going to Eagleston. This was where Ashton was first taken. He was there for a couple of months. Before being transported to Scottish Rite. Timing on the roads do have to be perfect. Thank you for your description of the x-ray and MRI. I understand a lot better. After being told previously that the only thing seen on the x-ray was the bone spurs, this is disquietening. I have only missed o

I have some of the most wonderful news for nativity lovers!!! A friend of mine from FB has sent me a pattern for a large siloute (sp) Nativity!! Of course you know that I cannot do it right now, But God willing, I will do it piece by piece and my Christmas next year, I will have the manger, main pieces and hopefully part of the village!!! One friend has already offered to help me cut the pattern parts out... it sure is big! LOL. I am so happy! I think it would take more than one big bowl of Debra's butter beans to calm me down now! Thank you Lord!! When it is finished, everyone w

I can't stand the idea of not having places to explore the world, to live out fantacies, go to the moon,(and "Under the Plum Lake"). But I bet if I needed a certain magazine, I would only have to ask for it on here and it could be found! Thirty bucks? That I could not do. Pardon my typing errors. New meds and my glasses are not adjusted to them yet! lol

Have I mentioned that I do not like driving around Atlanta? Well if not, I like it even less now. This past Wednesday was the day that the Doctor at Emory wanted Phillip to have an MRI done. He wanted it done in the enclosed machine that I am told looks like a bullet when closed. The young man that came to get Phillip said that it would take a little over an hour to complete his scan. So, I sat back with a puzzle book and got comfortable. Imagine my surprise when they came back before I had finished one puzzle! Phillip let me know that they could not get him scanned past his shoul

Dear Johnny J, I had to let you know that I have been thinking of you and you will be in my prayers. But just to prove I have been thinking of you... I have found you a sign, to hang any where you like!! "Call Before You Fall"

Whopeeeeeeeee!! Lookie Carol!! It only took me around four hours to ge online this time, but it won't lat long. This computer is sick sick sick! I have just posted to following on FB so I thought I would bring it to you here also. Thank you so much for bring the message for us. I really don't know when I will be able to get online again. You are such a sweet friend. xo Denise -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to thank everyone for their prayers for Phillip. After seeing the second doctor, a specialist on Multi

Aww thank you so much! Don't worry about how much time you spend on me. LOL. One of my favorite things about this site is being able to leave a note and know that sooner or later it will be read or answered. I did miss out on a gathering to support our emergency workers(?) last month. I think that is what the celebration was about... my mind was somewhere else at the time. So see, even I get a little busy. Actually I do smile a great deal and it always suprises people when they learn of our present issues. Of course they learn of it when I am leaving and ask for prayer. (yep, me and

Why take chances? I bought some new thick socks earlier today!!

We are also hoping that Phillip will get to use the medications. A tablet and a capsule I believe. It depends on whether we are approved for it or not. This is what Dr G. decided to do at our last visit. But right after he had left, the doctor he wanted to get a second opinion from called. I am hoping by the time we go back to Dr G. that he will have talked to the other doctor. It is still possible that they may decide to go a different direction with his treatment. I hope they find the right treatment for your mom soon. How long has she been with this doctor? Does she need to change? Yo

Thanks Hun, This is just the beginning of a very long and hard battle for Phillip. Give him a call sometime just to razz him. He would love it. Take care and God bless, Denise

to you also Hun and thank you for your support and prayers. I would love to see a miracle for my husband, I know that God can do them. My strength comes from God. I cannot think of any other way I could have survived the last couple of years. And I know he is with us now. It is times like this though that I miss my mom the most. Because I wonder if I am holding my sweetheart back from healing or a miracle. She has been gone 10 years now and she sure loved God. Mom and I never prayed together, but I would love to have her faith and strength joining mine right now. Sorry, had to take me a

Thank you Jack. God bless, Denise

I pray God wraps his arms around this family and their friends with love and care. God bless, Denise

In the many years that I have had the honor of voting, only once have I had to stand in a line. That line was due to problems with the equipment. I have been blessed. This year, my husband and I had not the first problem. We were two of the many who were able to vote early and I recommend it to anyone that can take advantage of it. We walked in, voted and left. It took maybe 10 minutes? The ballot was posted so if we had not known what was on it, we could had read it before voting. I am thankful that the ballots are not being punched. I am thankful that the ballots are not having

Yeah though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death I will fear no evil for thou art with me... This is the beginning of the verses that I want my husband to learn and understand. We are never alone, and we have someone to fight our battles for us. ************* Thank you for your compliments on my writting. But lol, anyone can write the way I do. IF they enjoy reading and writting. Oh, and enjoying gossip is a must. Ok,ok sharing our concern for others ...Is that better? LOL, having your eyes and heart open also helps. Mine is mainly just running my mouth. About thirt
