I am having the worst Christmas ever. Last week I almost lost my grandma, her heart stopped three times, but they managed to stabilize her, then I found out Sunday that my uncle Terrell died...he was my favorite uncle. His funeral was yesterday. Today we got home from the eight hour plane ride, Christmas Eve in the airport terminals even more fun, yeah right. We got home and I found out that my uncle Arthur died yesterday. On top of that another Uncle, Henry, is in the hospital because he had a heart attack and his doctors are not sure he is going to make it. I HATE Christmas this year, I don't know how this month could get any worse and I am really afraid that it will. I'm a wreck. Sorry about all of this, no one in my family is handling this very well and I had to vent somewhere. These are the only people I have ever really lost like this. My grandpa died a few years ago, but we knew it was coming. This was completely out of the blue. No one thought that these people were going to die so soon. At least Terrell died doing what he loved, racing his horses in Utah, his heart took him and he never knew what hit him. God I hate this, I'm sorry I hope all of you took my advice an not read this, if you slogged through this I am truly sorry.

It's hard enough to lose even one person you care about. Don't be sorry for venting though, that's far better than trying to bottle it up. (Believe me, I know.) I hope that your year gets better, and that you don't ever have to go through another holiday like that one. I hope everyone else is enjoying some peace. I certainly am. (Although Bob is going to get a workout today!) I did get the one thing I most wanted for the holidays...snow!! Everything is so beautiful and white...(strains of Bing Crosby floating in the backround...) Heh, heh... At least it finally feels like Winter here. (70" in December is just not natural in Maryland.)

I don't know what I would have done if others relatives would have died at the same time. I wish you peace of mind and healing of heart.

He was born on 23-8-1987 , and was admitted to Mansoura University lospita at the day of birth and stayed there for treatment, then he got out with the same disease without any progrcss. Also I kept going to professors of brain and nerves in Cairo with no progress then , I travoled to Saudi Arabia to work and i was responsible for his care and his treatment with no one's help, that he has sonseless urination and stool.And I brought him the diapers of TENA ART 71 01 0036 PCS/ST I TENA MADE IN SWEDEN SMALL 50-80 OR BIGER But The Company was closed and I returned back to Egypt and this was God's will. Now, I am in a misery that there is diapers,and sometimes I found it in fee- area in Port- Said in high costs as I need more than 120 diapers per month I have made a chair for him when I was in Saudia Arabia, but now it doesn't work and he needs another special one and diapcrs. I hope that someone can help me by having a special chair or diapers or treating him in a special centre. Thanks for every body who can help in making my family smiles again.
