    Donna, Another sore throat. Are you allergic to almonds? or just have problems with the mold right now?
  2. AndreaB
    I've been using 1 1/4 rice with 1/4 sorghum. I doesn't rise much but it's really good. I haven't used the bread machine so can't help you there.
  3. AndreaB
    Donna, Sounds like you went through a lot. Seems a little tiny bit similar to what we may go through without the inheritance.

    That is really sad. I told Mitch if something happened to him I would be on the phone with the boys. I talked to mom last night and she told me that she's going to call a friend who went down there to see dad. He's coming back home late tonight. My great aunt is going to call down there Wednesday. Mom had said that dad wasn't going to leave us anything...

    Thanks Laura. I'm starting through the somewhat angry stage now. Not at my dad though. It has to do with not being contacted when things started happening. It was a friend that contacted my mom. I should have been contacted Monday! Not the friend calling my mom on Tuesday and then my mom getting ahold of me on Wednesday (she called Tues but I hadn...

    My hair analysis showed arsenic and cadmium as my highest with titanium just below that. The aresenic was the only thing above the 68th percentile (in the yellow bar). Mercury showed real low.

    I don't know how many rentals they have. I do know of one other tiny 2 bed trailer type one. This place has the option of lease with option to buy which we declined.

    I hope you get your sleep figured out. I get really grouchy when I don't get my sleep. Oh the fun of stool tests. Hope that stuff is gone.

    Rachel, Mitch and I have dq2, Micah has double dq2 and Talitha has none (she's dq8). We should probably look at moving sometime in the near future. Can't afford it right now though. We'd planned on moving in the next couple years. It's not easy finding decent rentals that are affordable for us. I wouldn't be surprised if this place is contributing...

    As my husband says, you don't realize what you had until you lose it. I know that applies to many different things. Yesterday was the day I would have normally called to talk so that was a little more challenging. I'm more concerned about my brother, but he's doing ok. Donna, I see you. Hope you are doing ok. I'm sorry if this has...

    Thanks everyone for your support with my dad. It's been greatly appreciated. I'm doing pretty good overall. Just miss the opportunity to call whenever I want.
  12. AndreaB
    I remember that. Everything is so interesting. With everything you've been writing I try to assimilate it and figure out if it would apply to my family or people I know as well. I'm interested in getting the thermal testing done at some point in the future, which my doctor has mentioned to me (not that he said I should get it done though). I'm interested...

    Rachel, We decided to run the van down tonight so tomorrow will be a better time to call. Just want to get it out of the way.
  14. AndreaB
    Donna, I was wondering if you and Rachel would met up there or not. Too bad you just missed each other. The thing I've been struggling with is that I really wanted to be down there for my dad. Somehow I don't think he would have wanted me to see him as sick as he was. I wouldn't have gone down over Thanksgiving had he not granted permission...
  15. AndreaB
    We've got to run the van in tomorrow for service on Monday and all cram into the metro to come home. Anytime today or tomorrow morning or evening would be fine. I think we'll go down in the afternoon but that may change. It's always a matter of figuring if we'd be back before nap time. Seth's big nap is in the late morning/early afternoon. If you...
  16. AndreaB
    No, there will be no service. They are having a small get together but nothing official. He is going to be cremated. This summer his wife's brother will be bringing his ashes up to the Oregon coast (I forget where). We'll meet him there at that time. My brother lives about 3 hours north of us.

    Mitch is home. He's my physical rock. He lost his dad 21 years ago to Lou Gehrigs disease. I'll be home. My comfort is in the fact that dad's not suffering anymore. It's the loss of the ability to call him and say hi, to know he's always there. Since he lived so far away it wasn't as if he was a constant presence physically in my life and...

    Wanted to let everyone know what is going on. Last night I got the number to the hospice my dad is staying in. I called them and had arranged to have my brother and myself call this morning to talk to him since I was told that was his most coherant time of day. He had slipped into a stage 1 coma yesterday afternoon I think it was. Got a phone call...

    Donna, Your appointment. I can't believe it! But on the other hand I can. Carla, Glad your herx isnt' too bad. I talked to dad's wife this morning, she called. She's thinking more clearly. She said she can't tell us not to come down as we all have different grieving processes and as long as I'm aware he may not make...

    I have so many questions amidst all the tears. Why did he give up on dialysis? He never told us how bad things were, although we heard he was terminal. He had dialysis on Friday, what happened to change things? I talked to him Saturday late morning/early afternoon. He sounded fine aside from his voice being hoarse. Was this mass he told me about...

    Just talked to dad's wife. She doesn't even know if dad will make it through the night and said that he wouldn't know I was there if he did make it till tomorrow night. She reminded me that that is why we came down over Thanksgiving for, to see him. She wanted to know why my brother hadn't come down. I know dad had made a comment about Kevin never calling...
  22. AndreaB
    Just talked to my mom again. She talked to my dad's wife's brother today. Dad went off dialysis Friday and supposedly it was his decision to stop treatment. They were told he could live 3-7 days without dialysis. It's been 6. So now I've got to call his wife or her brother and try and figure out if it's worth us driving for 24 hours straight to get down...

    Judy, Seth would need to be with me since he's still nursing. Arizona is a 3 day drive one way for one driver. If we all drove straight through we could do it in half the time. The kids would survive if they had to. We'd still have to deal with 1 week of work though.
  24. AndreaB
    Thanks Judy. Alison, I've thought of driving but aside from the distance, my fathers house isn't very kid friendly. I didn't even see his wife when we were there. Her daughter lives nearby. I haven't talked to her directly although I'm thinking of trying to call tonight. My children are not exactly calm so I don't think I could handle everyone by...
  25. AndreaB
    Hope all goes well and that you'll be able to get off of them.
