I am 32, have 4 kids ages 13 and under. diagnosed with IDC grade 3 last week, and am at my top stress level. We have been having major finacial difficlties, family problems, ect, you can see my other threads. Now my hubby is in the ER, had major headache for 3 days, chest pain, and could barely move. They did ekg, bloodwork, xrays. thinking heart attack. He went by himself because had to find someone to get kids. Now they are transfering him to another hospital, and im stuck at home because our only.vehicle is at the er and nobody will give me a ride. Im crying my eyes out. When will all this stop?

OMG, I so wish I lived close enough to help you.
Can you call your Church and see if there's a member there who could give you a ride to the ER? Or call the hospital and see if they have a volunteer who would be willing to get you? Those are the only 2 suggestions I can come up with.
Hope your husband will be OK.

I feel for you. Ask to speak to the hospital social worker. The previous poster mentioned calling a church. I hope your husband is okay. I want you to be okay too! Pam

Sending you ((hugs)). Wish I could help, I agree with the others maybe try the hospital or your church. Hope everything works out for your husband.

Try not to worry or stress out....you have lots going on with just trying to be a mom on top of it all. One day at a time & remember to ask for help....others want to help just ask sometimes our pride gets in the way but it is okay to need help. You have to take care of you....your surgery is right around the corner just focus on healthy thoughts. Will say a extra prayer for you tonight & your hubby & your kiddos.....God is with you always! It must seem your world is caving in right now but you got this!!!

Ive decided to give up. And I mean that in a good way. Im too syressed out and its doing me or my family no good. Im just leaving it in the hands of the lord.

Sparkysbrat,
Sorry to hear everything that's going on but you are right, best leave it in the hands of the Lord. " Come to me those who are weary and heavy burdened, for I will give you rest" " Cast your cares and worries upon me".................Step out in trust that he will and know you are not on this journey alone.That's what I do and 99% of the time I don't have a care in the world, let go and let God...........

Thanks girls. I havent been on much, as I have been hurting alot, and been trying to finish job, and take care of hubby, who, on his meds, is doing much better. Thank you for all the prayers and cards. They changed my surgery date today to the 13th at 9 am, have to go in the 12th for preop testing. And patty is doing better. I just wish that leg would heal. I am trying to work with landlord to work out deal on rent, which is due friday. Grrrrrrr. Lol
