In 2007, I began my original website, Sonshine's Haven. In 2007, it was turned into a blog and used to keep family updated on my first husband's fight with liver cancer. He passed away November of 2009. We were married for 34+ wonderful years and this journals some of that grief process I've gone through.

I have since remarried another widower, but Mike is missed dearly, and will always be a big part of my life.

At times, all of us will be called to act as witnesses to the suffering of another. We will be unable to affect the outcome physically. Words will fail us. Prayer will seem futile. And yet, the act of bearing witness to someone else's trials is a sacred sorrow that offers and astounding glimpse of eternal joy." by Ginger Garrett

"Being willing to stay with a loved one throughout their travail, can be difficult....YES! But offering yourselves as faithful companions on a dark and dreadful journey can be an unmeasured blessing." (paraphrased by me)

Updated Saturday at Noon

Mike just received an email from the doctors at MD Anderson connected with his case. It reads:

"Dear Mr. McSheehy,As of now, we are still operational on Monday. MDA has electricity, but there is some flooding the area. For now, I would plan on coming to Houston as scheduled. I may not be in the hospital on Monday though. I will also have limited access to my MDA email.Take care,Steve"

We were called late last night and told our flight to Houston has been cancelled for tomorrow. So far, MD Anderson still has us scheduled for an appointment Monday and admission Tuesday. We'll wait and see what more we learn today. If we drive, we will likely leave early Sunday to try and make our way down.

Mike's blood pressure has been very low the last couple of days....and yesterday his heart rate was back up to 104 beats per minute, which troubled us a little. Later when we took it, it was back down to 91 which made us relax. This could explain why he felt so bad yesterday.

Please continue praying for our family's protection. Drew has a bacterial infection and is on an antibiotic, and Amber was running a little fever and didn't feel well yesterday. Matt plans to fly to TX Monday, and Zac, Amber and the baby are planning on driving down Monday. We're dealing with so much stress right now. Thank you for your continued prayers.
