Thanks to the many moms and more that are here and ready to help when a sailor is in need! It is amazing to know that no matter where our sailors travel in the United States there is a mom there ready to rescue them with a hot meal, place to stay, or help to get back on the road!

oh mommas!! i talked to Sharon (AuxLady) earlier and Emory Univ. Hospital has done a reevaluation on Brian and a revised diagnosis of Lymphocytic Leukemia and the doctors told Brian's dad that there is an 85% cure rate!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!
Brian still has a long road ahead of him. He will definitely be in the hospital for 27 more days and will be on a 27 day rotation of chemo.
yes Sharon is still crying, yes she is worried sick and yes she wants to be with her son more than anything in this world BUT Sharon knows the power of prayer!!! Boy Howdy! i'd say!!!
the family members never leave Brian's side. they are working with the hospital to find more suitable and affordable accommodations.
this is all the definite news i have for now....i have read your posts...and you bet it's going to be a horrific toll on the family in so many ways.
i encouraged Sharon to do two things now....start a blog (she doesn't know how but has a friend who can show her) and go to the bank and tell them what has happened and maybe they can tell her about setting up a fund for all the expenses the family is facing. i really don't know anything about either one of those two suggestions but i had to put something "out there" for her to do while she is home alone.
Sharon's page is open on N4Ms and i believe even if you aren't a "friend" you can still post well wishes and encouraging words to her. i had one of my Navy mom friends try it and it worked.
i will check back with you as soon as i know more.
i also suggested that Sharon log onto N4Ms as soon as she felt like it and see the responses...i read one to her to let her know what she is missing....she was blown away!
I was thinking of caringbridge also. It is a free site for family to use to keep other family and friends up to date.
I know the American Cancer Society helps cancer patients in many ways. That may be 1 place for the family to talk with to ask for help also. I am no where near Atlanta so can't do much physically, but will be praying. The hospital may have a hotel or apartment that the family can use for a while also. Please let us know when you have new information.
Connie, please share this information on the "Moms of Faith" group also. Prayer is the focus of the group.
