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)

Surgery Schedule

Just wanted to update everyone with what we know about the schedule for the surgery. They have Mike checking in to the hospital at 5:15 a.m. We're assuming surgery is still at 7:30 a.m., but we're not sure if it might be sooner, being the surgeon's assistant suggested with surgery at 7:30, we would be checking in around 6 a.m. Either way, it's going to be an early morning and a long day. :)

Also, I forgot to mention that Mike's liver enzymes were better this trip than our last visit, so that was good news and seemed to be a big deal to the doctor. Also Mike's blood counts were very good.

To clarify the anesthesia Mike will be having; Mike will be given general anesthesia for the surgery itself, but at some point, they might decide to do an epidural on Mike to help manage his pain as he comes out from under general anesthesia.

Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.
