I have not had much time to be on our Commuinty the last week a lot of family stuff going on with my Mom & Dad.
This is a photo of my Mom & Dads 58th wedding anniversary. This was taken just a few weeks ago. As you know Dad was in the hospital last week and is not doing very well. The doctors put Mother in the hospital Friday, and now she is not doing very well. Now I'm not sure where or which way to go. Laura and I are taking turns at the hospital.
I ask all of my friends PLEASE keep us in your thoughts and prayers! All of the stress with Mom & Dad, my arms are covered with rashes, and now my left foot is starting to get a lupus rash/blister (I just assume it is from the stress). Also I have more joint pain.
If I am out of touch and or make short replys, I hope you as my friends understand. I will up date how things are going when I can. I feel as if I have reached the end of my rope sometimes.
Oh Tiras, so sorry to hear that you and your loved ones are going through such a difficult time. You have been in my thoughts and I really hope that you are managing to pace yourself and look after yourself. Take care and keep in touch x
We all understand your time is precious Tiras and how important family is to us all. Your parents are lovely and it is so sad for you now Mon is poorly too. Your Dad being so ill has put a strain on Mon but you are there for them both because you are the man they made you today and they will be very proud of what you have achieved. Despite your disease you think of others as we all appreciate on this community, you still took the time to tell us of your worries.
We are here when you want us, we support you and will remember you all in our prayers. I know if we could we would come to support you in person, just to hold your hand even for a minute so just imagine we are there sat with you doing just that.
Your mom and dad look so sweet. What a treasure that photo is!
Please take care of yourself and let your wife take care of you during this stressful time! It's hard to do when family is the most important thing of all, but stress wreaks havoc on those of us with lupus! It certainly sounds like you're experiencing that already. Try to remember that, if you don't take care of yourself and preserve your strength, you won't be able to be there for the people who need you so much right now!
I prayed for you and your dear parents and your whole family in church this morning. I know that prayer is heard, and you know that, too. God will work this out according to his will and his timing.
Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts, and thank you for your prayers. I will ask that you continue. Thanks for the support and words of inspiration!
Dear BFGπ£tiras, thank you so so much for posting this beautiful photo of your dear mum & dad celebrating this special anniversary...and for letting us know how things are going...treasured photos like this one are a portal back to moments of the greatest happiness...you do well to have this photo at hand during these great trials.
have been feeling very concerned about you, and also have been thinking you would find it hard to keep in touch with us, because you & your family have such an awful lot of very sensitive, intense & important things going on which can only take most all your energy & focus...added to that your lupus is bound to be reacting to the strain. And yet, you have found a moment for us...and shared this wonderful photo...am so grateful...you're an inspiration
These replies you've received from our forum friends are so deeply thoughtful & moving...there is nothing more I can add...am with you in spirit...courage...we're thinking of you & sending β€οΈ to you all
I will be thinking of you and your lovely family. Carry a copy of this photo to give you strength. If you can maybe have a copy put beside your mums bed and also one beside your dads. Stay strong and know this community is with you in thought. Xxβ€οΈ
Dear Tiras, your parents are a lovely sweet couple π«π. Love is stronger than everything and also has healing powers. Keep in there, enjoy time with your parents. Whatever happens make sure precious time is spent well.
