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)

Infection

Mike is very sick this evening. Things have become worse quickly. His fever is climbing, he is having chills, and is throwing up. We called MD Anderson earlier today and they weren't able to reschedule Mike's biliary exchange (any earlier than his appointment next Thursday) due to the holiday on Monday. They told us to call them back if infection set in. Well, it looks like infection is setting in. We are doing all the necessary measures, to try and keep things under control until we get down there, but if things get any worse, we may need to head on down to Houston earlier than Monday morning.

We would appreciate your prayers.

Saturday Morning
Wanted to update everyone on Mike. He is doing better this morning. His temperature is normal and the nausea, chills, and vomiting have stopped. We'll continue to monitor things today, and hopefully we'll be able to hold ground until we arrive in Houston Monday at 9:30 a.m. Thank you for your continued prayers.
