Just a quick note to everyone. It's been a rough 2 weeks. First I appreciate everyones
thoughts about me trying to decide whether to move back to WV or what to do. All of that
has been put on hold. Haley had a bad bike wreck last week. I think it was from the heat..
I think she blacked out and crashed on the bike trail. She busted both knee caps, both elbows.
She was really upset..and in a lot of pain. Thankfully nothing broken. She's finally mending..
and today was the first day that she's started walking normally again..she def looks like shes
been in a wreck..but doing better.
Let's see..big storm Friday night...no electric, phone lines for almost 2 days.. that was very hard and
stressful..we'd have electric..then we didn't...then we would.. but without phone lines for 2 days straight.
Saturday morning around 5 am...called ambulance to take dad to hospital..he has pneumonia....it's been very stressful,
he just cannot kick this yet...a lot of breathing problems...and he is hurting all over..he's always had bad legs,
and they hurt him constantly, with diabetes the neuropathy in his feet, just so much going on with him. But we've
all been taking turns staying with him...I'm usually the night shift.. but after 2 hard long nights..I needed a break
and mom stayed with him last night..I'm getting ready to go to the hospital to stay for the day. I hate, hate, hate
seeing anyone in pain...and to see my dad in such pain..really does something to me emotionally and physically, I
actually get so sick...I've always been that way...SO that's been really rough.. BUT I have hope..I appreciate all of
the prayers from all my family and friends...I've always believed in the power of prayer. I have had my share of doubts
with life..and I'm trying to be more positive..i've just had such heartaches, that it's been really hard to stay
positive. But I'm trying!!
Thursday will be my mom and dads' 50th anniversary. We have lots planned for the party..but everything is on hold...and sure hope
we can get that celebration in as soon as possible!! So keep up the prayers...and hope for the best for all of us!
I've been slacking with the prayers, card, requests on here.. BUT I'm always thinking of my family and friends...AND I always say
a prayer for all my family and friends...and I do miss my "frequent" stops in there.. BUT I've been really busy with life.
I hope all is well with everyone..and for everyone that is going thru some sort of struggle..I hope with each day it gets a little
easier. Hugs, prayers and best wishes for each and everyone of you.
Everyone.. Be safe...play nice.... Be sure to tell the ones you love..you love them.. don't take a day, an hour or a minute for granted..
I'm off to be the dayshift nurse and the best daughter ever!! Lots of love my friends!!

Here is is July 5th.. mom and dads' 50th wedding anniversary..and things aren't any better. : (
He is still on the ventilator...he is heavily sedated... It is all so hard. Life : (
Haley is better..she's been so good. she is bored out of her mind here at the house with nothing to do.
I have been up the hospital so much and haven't spent much time with her. BUT she's a trooper and
has been so good. I'm so lucky to have a 15 year old that is so supportive of me and sensitive to the
situation.
Mom is hanging in there..she is stressed. So many thoughts always in your head. So keep her in your
prayers too.
Life? Sigh...thanks for the prayers.. Please continue to pray for my dad. Thanks so much. Hugs my friends! 7|4|will continue to pray for you and your family, Shelly.|mindylou86|mindylou86@gmail.com|12:11:20|07/05/2012|

Well it's been a long tough week. Today was suppose
To be the 50th anniversary party for mom and dad.
And yesterday was my brothers birthday. Dad still
On vent. Very sedated. They did some tests today. Went
Into his lungs to scope it. Had a scare with kidney
Failure early in the morning. But the drs are hoping
It's from all the strong antibiotics. We keep
Praying and keep hopIng for the best. We have all been
Taking shifts at the hospital Always having someone
With him. He doesn't like being alone.
I appreciate all the nice emails. Prayers and more.
I had several trades out a few days late. I'm not
Liking that. But all are out now. Trying to keep
Things normal even though I'm falling apart
I'm trying hard to be strong for mom. And trying
To keep myself in check. Sigh. It's tough.
12|1|How is your Dad doing today ?|miberetta|miberetta@aol.com|20:09:25|07/08/2012|
Praying for some good news. {Hugs} 13|2|still on vent..heavily sedated..SIGH|shellysmsmo|jpksms@sbcglobal.net|21:13:37|07/08/2012|
still no change. He is still on vent and they have him heavily sedated.
I'm hoping maybe tomorrow..will be the day for some good news.
It just doesn't stop.. : ( my brother was in a car wreck on the way to the
hospital this morning, thankfully he is ok. His truck had to be towed, and that's
been a headache with the car rental, etc. But it was an accident and the other
driver was very apologetic..and i'm just glad everyone is ok.
Thanks for asking....I'm hoping for some good news soon.. Keep the prayers coming,
I sure appreciate all the concern and support of all of my friends here.. hugs!
