Cancer - Hi everyone, Normally my wonderful bride would be blogging right now. But sadly, today?

Adam. please keep talking to her even if she doesn't respond to you. She may hear everything, we just don't know that & neither do the doctors at this point. Tell her to fight this, & tell her how much you love her & want her to come back to you. We will try to help you get through this no matter the outcome. I am so glad your parents are there for you & Melissa. I know how much your pastor means to both of you, & am also glad he is on his way. Keep the faith... Mary

Mary is right. People can hear in coma's so even though she cannot squeeze your hand, she can hear you. Hearing is the last sense to go, so always keep talking. Much love to both of you!
Ellen

I agree. Talking certainly helps!

I just lover her so much! Life without her would be bleak. She is the amazing one!!

I felt that way too, and just forced my self to just take one step then another, until I could deal with it. I had to cope for our dog, he missed him too. But I'm not without him totally, I feel him around often. So does our dog, I'm sure, he seems to just sit quietly and listen sometimes.

Thank you! My name is Melissa and I have battled with leukemia my whole life. And lost my daughter Addison when she was 2 years old, also to leukemia. I am awake. Thank you for your kind words. I am so sorry to hear what you are going through with your health. If I could help u in any way I would. I will be praying for you!!

Fantastic you are awake and I bet he is thrilled! Enjoy your time together. Life is so precious, I too have lost a child and that alone can about make you lose faith.. I did not tho and will not. We should not have to bury our children.
My love goes out to you an yours an hope things improve.

You are 100% correct. No mother should have to lose their child. I almost lost my faith. If it were not for Adam being there, I probably would have. I cherished all 4 years that I got to have with Addison. Wouldn't trade them for anything!

Thank you!

I wish you great care, and love to you both and pray that God take this trial! I'm still praying you all. Enjoy your time together. Lots of love.
BTW my real name is Angel
<3

Well its nice to chat with you Angel. Thank you for the prayers. I too have kept you and many other on here in my prayers.

Thank you, feel free to call on me. I'm sure everyone would be there anytime you need us.

Hi Melissa, you don't know me, and i'm pretty new here, I wanted to check in before i went to bed, and the last post i read was that you were no longer breathing on your own, then i scroll down abit and you were posting. All I can say is that GOD good, there must be something he has in store for you, your work here on earth is not done yet. My prayer now is thanking God, for bringing you back, I'm sure he had his angels surrounding you and giving your husband comfort and strength to get through this, I can tell your husband loves you very much. you probably need alot of rest to get your strength back and i'm sure your husband could use alot of rest to.

God bless you both,
judi

Thank you judi!! Your right, we are both exhausted. Lol. To tell you the truth, I'm a bit scared to sleep. Kinda worried I wont wake back up again. Silly, I know.

you're not being silly, i really understand what you're feeling, i go to bed everynight afraid i will stop breathing because of what happened last time, i think i'm more scared of my daughter who is almost 20 yrs old coming home and finding me unresponsive, she shouldn't have to do through what she did when she found a couple weeks ago. she's suppose to be experincing life not worrying about me. the bad thing is i go to bed at night wishing i wouldn't wake up any more , because i know what the day is going to be like and i'm tired of living like this, im 40 yrs old and wakling with a cain or walker needing help getting dressed bathing and just doing everyday stuff we all take for granted until we can't.
i would like to add you as my friend but i don't know how to do that,
if you don't mind you can tell me how and i would love to have a new friend,

take care ,
judi

All you have to do to add me as a friend is click on my screen name. It will take you to my page. Then it will say add as friend on my page. You click on that. That's it. :-)

I would love to have a new friend!

Bald is beautiful baby!! Haha. I think he is a little excited about being able to shave my head. Lol. I'm not sure I'm ready for it though. But I guess atleast this way, I wont have to fix my hair everyday. Lol

Melissa: you don't know me, but I am so happy to hear that you are 'back'!
Please take care of yourself and take everything slowly... you really do have a 'good one' in Adam. I'm glad he was able to write to everyone here and draw comfort from them.
I am sending good thoughts to both of you.
Mary, the madhatter.

I agree Melissa. Bald is chic. Also you save a ton on hair products! No more styling dilemma! If he shaves his too you will be the "in" couple at the hospital! Glad you are laughing. Keep it going. Karen

He is man infantry man. His head is already shaved. ARMY STRONG! Well my hair is all gone. Have to say it feels much cooler in here without my long hair. Lol. Gotta laugh at life sometimes. There is no point in crying over it. I now have a 6 year old cancer patient giving me a Makeover. She is doing my makeup... this ought to be good. Hahaha.

Gotta be sure you get pictures of this. Always sentimental later. You know, the good days of life are to be celebrated!

Army guy! Excellent! Let Adam know I appreciate his service to the country and his love for you! K

Oh Lord, watch her with the eye makeup, 6 yrs get a little heavy handed, lolol... I bet adam had fun shaving your head. Tom had the most gorgeous head of hair before chemo, then one day he came and said, shave my head, I'm tired of my hair falling in my food. I thought he'd cry, but he loved it.

Yes! Army man. He said thank you for the appreciation of his service. He loves the army! And so do I. He has been in for 6 years. 3 deployments. I was in for two years with one deployment before I was medically released due to seizures. The army is a big part of both of our lives. And yes. We took lots of photos of him shaving my head. I wish I could upload them because they are quite funny. And I have to say. Its quite nice to not have all that hair bugging me. Lol. I had a lot of hair. Very thick and curly and long. We had fun anyways. Sometimes its the small things that are the best of times. :-)

I also commend you for your service, Melissa. You are two tough people. Hope you have a good view from your room. Enjoy the day.

I was in the Army Nurse Corps, during the viet nam war.

Really! So you share the same love for it! Once an army girl, always an army girl. I loved every bit of it! Most of the people complained about boot camp. But I loved every second of boot camp. I could have tone that for the rest of my army career and been perfectly happy. Haha

I thank you too, kaismama. Many of us were against the war, but we were never against those who went. I know a lot of vets. I thank you for your service to our country. Stay strong!

NBoone likes the war even us army people. No one wants to be shipped away to a place where they can be killed. But someone has to do it. It is a huge price that has to be paid in order for our freedom. I am honored to have had that opportunity.

I loved it, wasn't too fond of being stuck out in the desert at boot camp, with only a compass, lolol.
