LadyBug - She's feeling very depressed and lonely due to the fact that her family are hinting that they want to marry her to a liberal Muslim. Her family are liberal Muslims too and she hasn't told them that she's Catholic yet, so she's finding it hard to persuade them off the issue since she doesn't feel ready to tell them yet. See this thread in OBOB for more details.

Jason's wife Michelle has been in the hospital for quite sometime. The hospital is 150 miles away from where they live. Jason is only able to see her on the weekends due to his job and the distance. Michelle is having major surgery today.
Here is Jason's post from yesterday.
Just spoke with Michelle. She spoke to the doctor regarding the surgery tomorrow. Already things aren't looking good.
Her blood count is already low, so they are going to be giving her a blood transfusion today, before surgery tomorrow.
She is malnourished, which is something they've been trying to correct with her being in the hospital. This is greatly increasing her risks in surgery.
Doctor said that this is a very high risk procedure, made higher risk because of Michelle's current condition. They are "cleaning her out" today, using a liquid she had to drink as well as giving her enemas today. The doctor is going to do his best to try to suture the holes in her intestines, and if everything goes well, that will be the extent. Doctor says it is highly likely, though, that she may be stuck with a colostomy bag for four to six months, if not permanently. Also, they will have to leave the surgery site open, they can't close it up, so she will have to remain in the hospital for a while (not sure how long). Recovery, though, according to the doctor, will take anywhere from six to twelve weeks.
Michelle is scared, and that is understandable. I encourage her that she is in God's hands. We both know there is a chance that she won't make it through the surgery. Despite that, I continue to trust that the Lord will heal her, and that she will come home sooner than the doctors thought. No matter what happens, though, I trust in God, and know that He has her best wishes (and mine) in His heart.

Her mom has cancer that is not responding to the powerful chemo treatments.
here are her recent posts.....
Just an update: we got more bad news today. It is the cancer that is causing my mom's coughing/breathing problems (and probably her increased heart rate, too). She just had really powerful chemo, so I guess the cancer just isn't responding to treatment. She didn't get to see her oncologist today, so I don't know what the next course of treatment will be.
Re: the meeting with the oncologist...What she said wasn't a big shock...we are no longer talking about "beating this" or talking about my mom "getting better." The cancer has now been labeled as "chemo resistant." My mom may get some radiation treatments (if that is possible; they have to check), and they have put her on steroids...trying to extend her life and make her as comfortable as possible. I did cry a little when my mom started talking about how she isn't scared...she said that God has taken away all of the fear! Praise the Lord! That hasn't been the case for me; I have struggled with fear my whole life, and losing my mom is right up there at the top of the list!!! I know that my life will never be the same, but I also know that the Lord will be there with me every step of the way.
Please join me in praying that my mom (and also my cat!) will not suffer! To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! Hallelujah! She will soon get a hug from Jesus!!!

I am praying for the entire family. These trying times are horrible I know.

I laugh at the ''Adam and Eve'' logic. If two humans at the begining of time started the human race then we, as a race, are all in-bred retards. I for one am not falling for this ''brother and sister'' crap, since there is no way on sciences green earth that I am in any shape or form related to a [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]ing furfag!
