What Thanksgiving is All About

There is a lot to be thankful for but here lately I have taken for granted the everyday things in my life that I am thankful for. I promise I will try not to bore you to much.
1. I am so thankful for my wonderful husband I know sometimes I don't tell him how much I appreciate him but believe me IT IS A WHOLE BUNCH.
2. I am thankful for my children I have been blessed with two great kids. Even though they are teenagers they are great teenagers. I haven't had any real problems yet. I am thankful Jasmine has a boyfriend that is a member of the church for those of you who know that is a big wish for moms and dads.
3. I am thankful for my family even though it seems like they have all went crazy I am still thankful for them.
4. I am thankful for my nephew to be Pam's baby is due Friday. But he will probably be late first babies usually are.
5.I am thankful for David and Susan, they have helped us in so many ways. I am thankful for all the Thanksgivings we have been to at there house for those who have been there is so much food. This year we will be hungry because we usually eat with my family for lunch and with Pam being so pregnant she invited Dad over and said she wasn't fixing a whole lot of stuff so there goes the Brasher family Thanksgiving. Susan and David you so sweet, I know we can never repay you for all you've done but believe me I thank God every night for all of you.
6. I am thankful for the trees this year I have never seen them so beautiful.
7. I am thankful for my house a warm bed to lie down in at night, for food on my table, and the smiles on faces that I see all the time.
8.I am thankful for Kim, Paul, Addi, Levi and Lila. The holidays are going to be great we have a new addition and she is wonderful. Kim thanks for all you do for my children they love and look up to you and Paul and they love the kids so much and so do we. You have a great a and beautiful family and we are thankful to be a part of it.
9. I know sometimes I tend to forget to be thankful for my friends especially my church ones. I love and care for all of them.
10. I am thankful for all the prayers and cards that have went out on my behalf.. I know God will take care of me because I have so many christians praying for me and this I am most appreciative for, thank you all very much.
I could go on forever because there is so much to be thankful for.

I have started my new medicine and it seems to help some with the itching but let me tell you it put me in a world of my own. I am going to continue to try it but if it continues to put me in my own world I don't know if it is worth it or not even though the itching is soooo baddd. I love you all and Happy Thanksgiving.

hello

well tonight the doctor called me while we were out to eat with Susan for her birthday when the phone rang I didn't recognize the number so I called it back and it Dr. McGuire which scared me to death all in all I am tough but I still get scared when the call does come. But he was calling me back from 4 days ago (better late than never) he called me in a new drug called Butorphanol this drug is a narcotic it is a pain medicine that is distrubited through the nasal cavaties. It is used to treat moderate to severe pain that occurs after an operation. This medicine acts in the CNS Central Nervous System. It treats people with migraines also.

Side effects- If You Have Liver Disease Contact Your Doctor. I thought here we go again everything effects the liver also side effects are difficult in breathing, fever, nosebleeds, ringing in the ears, runny nose, sneezing and sore throat.

Common side effects are confusion, dizzziness, dry mouth, difficult or painful breathing, fainting, hallucinations and guess what it can cause ITCHING can you believe this This is the last try before he hung up he said "I hope we find you a suitable donor real soon" I do agree with him there. I am going to try this new medicine we will see how it works. Love you all Mary
