  1. Whine away my dear! Thank you for keeping all of us updated about Donna and ‘you’. Yes it is frustrating that you can not fix her, bit Donna is very strong…even with the obstacles in jer way right now and I know how hard it is to sit back and just watch and listen to what they have to say. Please know we are ALL here for you in anything you might need. Hugs and prayers for you all and for the doctors and nirses treating Donna.

  2. Parked in front of Tom Thumb @ Forest & Marsh – hadn’seen an update before I left home @ 5 pm and was just jonesing for news! Was too anxious to wait the 5 miles home.
    So, Ron, please know how very much I look forward to every update.
    AND, please know none of what you’ve written has in ANY way been “whiny”. It’s called “sharing”..and an honor to be included. There are so many of us out here who love and support you both. Please don’t ever hesitate to share – hopefully our hearts and love will add to your strength. HUGS!?!

  3. I so appreciate you keeping this blog! Somehow it makes me feel closer to you both and a little less helpless. God love you for sharing. Reach out if I can help with anything.

  4. We really appreciate your writing this blog. You both are always in our thoughts and prayers and we sure welcome any news about Donna’s condition, so please continue to write. We never, ever consider it whining. We appreciate your honest thoughts. Please let us know if we can do anything.

  5. You are anything BUT WHINY!! I admire you so much for your strength and praise you for providing such valuable information.
    I too am frustrated for not being able to DO anything so I’m clinging to every word. Thank you, Ron!!! XOXO

  6. Ron, I have one request for you, please give yourself a break! It is so hard when there is someone we love and care about suffers and we can do nothing but watch! You are doing all that you can do for Donna and she knows this and I am sure this is a huge comfort to her. It is so hard when there are no easy answers. Talk to Larry sometime about the last few days of his mom’s life. When she refused to eat or drink anything as she had given up. He felt that he had not tried hard enough had not done enough. It is so hard, but know that you writing your frustrations about what is going on is a way of dealing with the situation. And I can not imagine anyone thinking that your are whining! Hang in there, if you need a break let people know I am sure there are any number of us who give you a break. Tired of hospital food? Just put out the word and I am sure anyone of us could bring you some homemade food. Keep up the post it is a way for us to keep tabs on what is going on with Donna. Just remember there is a huge network of people out here supporting you family with prayers who are ready and able to do more! Donna

  7. Hey Ron, as you know some us are not that geographically adjacent and this blog is way to make us feel connected, even if we can’t do anything in real practical terms either, and you’re right, that’s frustrating. I’ve watched enough US TV shows to know that you are ‘sharing’ rather than ‘whining’ anyway 😉

  8. Ron, just wanted you to know that I look forward to hearing about Donna and how she is doing. I agree, you are not whining, it’s just great that you share all your feelings. I’m with you 100 per cent!! Please call if I can do ANYTHING!
