Subject: BS: Good thoughts, please From: katlaughing Date: 12 Dec 06 - 08:47 PM My daughter back East, Kirstie, has had an abnormal pap, after over 13 years of every six months okay ones, after bad news way back when which surgery took care of. She is having a cone biospy this Thursday morning. She and I would really appreciate the good thoughts of any of you who would care to help out. Some of you may remember helping when she had her twins, eight years ago, prematurely. I know she feels scared. It's a tough Christmas for them, anyway, as she is separated from her husband, living on her own with her boys and neither parent has much to spend this holiday. She knows that is not what is really important, that healthy parents who love them and are not fighting is more important, but the boys are eight and it's hard for them to understand the economics of two households. Thank you, so much. kat |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: Elmer Fudd Date: 12 Dec 06 - 09:33 PM As many good thoughts back as you always send out, Kat. Good luck and best wishes to you all. Hope the test was a false positive. They are known to happen. Elmer |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: wysiwyg Date: 12 Dec 06 - 10:56 PM Momkat, You know, they're just really, really careful these days because "suddenly" HPV is all the news. So try not to worry TOO much. And um, thanks be for her faithfully getting tested, for a doc she trusts, and for a wise and strong mama. ~Susan |

Karen has had abnormal paps for years but the other tests have always proved negative. Wait a bit to worry too much......and until then know that you and she both have all the good thoughts we can send her way qand yours. Hey....Send me her snail mail. I never send Christmas cards but I will to her and the boys. You ought to start a card campaign maybe to give her a laugh or two! luvyakat Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: MBSLynne Date: 13 Dec 06 - 03:28 AM My best thought too. I had an abnormal one years ago and had a cone biopsy. They explained that it was just a precaution really as there was no evidence that abnormal cells necessarily developed into anything more sinister. They told me though, that due to scar tissue etc it may make it more difficult if I ever wanted to have children. 21 years and two beautiful, healthy children later, I'm still fine! She will be the same I'm sure Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: Escamillo Date: 13 Dec 06 - 04:21 AM My best thoughts and wishes for your daughter and family, dear Kat ! Let´s wait until the deep biopsy shows results and hope the best, but never be too confident. Look for second and third opinion and test. Un gran abrazo - Andrés PS: Everything ok here. Yesterday my second grandchild was born, she is a girl and she is the dream of my beloved late wife. Her parents named her Dalia Graciela. |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: jacqui.c Date: 13 Dec 06 - 07:43 AM Kat - send me her address and I'l send her a card. I would go with what's been said above - I've had a few abnormal results but the further tests came out clear. Good thoughts coming from here anyway. |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: Tinker Date: 13 Dec 06 - 08:17 AM Morning Kat-- Tonite, tommorrow know you're all being held with careful care. Call if you need to talk. I'm getting good at the worrying over sick kids thing. And sometimes the best thing is to be the one who relaxes. Blessings and Light |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: Cruiser Date: 13 Dec 06 - 09:24 AM Now I do not know about sending all the vibes, good/positive thoughts, prayers, energy (whatever that is), wishes, etc. but it sounds as if your daughter could use some financial help with ensuring her children have a nice little Christmas and at least take that part of the stress out of her life. Therefore Kat, if you can set up a PayPal account or something easy like that, I will donate at least $10.00 to a Christmas Fund. I am sure there are many other good members here that would be willing to send more along than just good thoughts, like maybe good hard cash. I am not sure how the Mudcat auction funds are received and handled, but that may be other way. I understand some people cannot help financially, but this sounds like a good cause. I do not celebrate Christmas, but I know how much it means to children and the look on those twins' eyes when receiving an unexpected gift would be priceless. The only suggested condition would be a request that you post a photo of them receiving the gifts from Mudcatters in the Member Photo section. I may be shot down on this because I do not know if what I am proposing is allowed on Mudcat. |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: JennyO Date: 13 Dec 06 - 09:35 AM Kat, sending more warm thoughts and energy from Oz to you and Kirstie. Keep breathing and feel all the loving thoughts coming your way and surrounding you. I hope the cone biopsy results put everyone's fears to rest. |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: Alba Date: 13 Dec 06 - 10:37 AM Kirstie and Kat ma Darlins. If it's Postive and Healing thoughts you need......YOU GOT THEM. Holding you both in my Heart and waiting to hear the GOOD News. As a good Freind tells me often...* smile *....remember to breath. Love, Light and more Love being send your way. {{{{{{{{{{Huge Hugs}}}}}}}}} Jude |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: katlaughing Date: 13 Dec 06 - 02:36 PM You folks are just amazing. Thank yew, so much. I just talked with Kyrstie. She has had to postpone the biopsy until next Monday at 11a, Mudcat time. I read her your messages and she cried. You are all so special and caring. I am doing much better, thanks to you all, and am not worried, just ready for it to be over and to hear the good news. Thanks, again, luvyakat |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: Wesley S Date: 13 Dec 06 - 03:49 PM I hate waiting for medical information. I always want to just get it over with. Yuk. We're all wishing for the best. By the way my niece is going through chemo right now - and from the pictures I've seen bald is beautiful. |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: Cruiser Date: 13 Dec 06 - 05:36 PM Hey wealthy (Ha Ha) Mudcatters (I better address this to all 'Catters or some will just skip overt the wealthy and miss my post). How about let's all pitch in and get Kat's grandbabies, Akira and Elijah, a gift just from Mudcat land? We could stop donating at a fair amount, whatever that would be. Let's call it the A&E Christmas Fund. To donate, PM katlaughing. I think she can accept PayPal but I will let her confirm that in this thread if she wants to. If not, just PM her. I know we folkies ain't rich but you have rich hearts and A&E will certainly be richer for our efforts. I was 8 once, and didn't have much for Christmas, but I did not know any better. Kids nowadays know better! If there are any more ideas on how to contribute please say so. BTW, I do not know any of the people involved and rarely PM folks so I am just trying to help out some. Now, I don't want to make anyone feel BAD or put ANY pressure on you, but if this old Atheist is willing to donate something for Christmas, well, then…(Just Kidding for Christ's..mas sake!) And, I am a classic Scrooge to boot! ______________________________________________________________________ |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: chazkratz Date: 14 Dec 06 - 07:42 AM Kat, m'love, you are always in my thoughts and your daughter and her family join you there. May the Goddess smile on you and yours (it's very uncharacteristic of me to express myself thus, but I come more and more to think of our planet as more than our home: we are, after all, made of its substance, part of it--and I can think of no better application of the old mathematical/scientific adage that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts). Charles |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: Cruiser Date: 14 Dec 06 - 10:40 AM Thank you skipy. Those that can donate send kat a PM. She has an easy way to use PayPal to accept your contribution, no matter how small. I am sure she will keep everything confidential. She could receive funds otherwise, I suppose. Maybe a dollar bill or more inside a Christmas card to her daughter. I donated the small sum of $10.00 just so you know I did not give a large amount and that is what I pledged. If we even reached $50.00 that should help. Let's see, so even if the 33 or so who have posted to this thread would ante up for just a $1.00 each... I would not be doing this if these were adults. These are kids. |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: katlaughing Date: 14 Dec 06 - 06:43 PM Thank you ALL, once again. I know I keep saying that; the words are inadequate. Your thoughts and energy are so important and so helpful. Anything more is icing on the cake and much appreciated, too. Cruiser, thansk so much. Charles! What good may come of such scares as this! Haven't seen you in ages! Love you, darlin' and thanks for coming outta hibernation.:-) kat |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: Cruiser Date: 15 Dec 06 - 04:33 PM Holy Cow!! Oh wait, way too religious for me Geewillikers! Was it a wealthy Mudcatter that I mocked earlier? Let us know who the benefactor was (remember The Millionaire Show back in the 1950s) Oh and kat, I expect a full refund of my $10.00 at 99% interest compounded every second since you received it. Let. See 10.00 X 0.99 X 44 billion seconds X.... with full interest and penalties with a back date of December 1. The real Cruz Scrooge comes out! (Just Kidding!) I am glad for your grandbabies. Okay, back to those good vibes and that ENERGY stuff for kat's daughter... _______________________________________________________________ |

Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: katlaughing Date: 18 Dec 06 - 04:01 PM Well, I don't think shouting is necessary, esp. from a guest. It is done. The doctor will not know anything for a few days. I will not post the particulars, from today. WHEN I know anything new, I will post it. Thanks to those of you who have not shouted and have your cookies. |
Subject: RE: BS: Good thoughts, please From: MMario Date: 18 Dec 06 - 04:05 PM given that it will take several days to get the results - I don't think a delay of several hours in the actual taking of the biopsy was a matter of huge concern. (and if it had been - I suspect that the appointment would have been last week!) |
