Thank you lilsissy for this sad, sad, sad news. This is heartbreaking, but I am encouraged that Barb is able to go home before her surgery. I read this late last night and typed a note through many tears, but my Morg-clouded brain managed once again to loose it when I tried to post.
I send all my love to Barb. I have full confidence that she WILL recover fully, and continue to lead us in fighting on! If anybody can "kick butt" in any challenge, it is Barb! She's a world- class Warrior Woman, astride her galloping stallion, leading the charge! That's the image I am holding in my mind.
Ive been very worried about her as she hasn't posted in a while and that's not like Barb. Her symptoms were alarming for a "cerebral vascular event" as several of you here knew. I was so blessed to meet Barb only last month, on her birthday, when she was in Boston for some tests. I wept as I embraced her, knowing that I was with a truly remarkable woman, a helluva mind in a very courageous fighter, a rare combination! We bonded instantly. What a gift to have a friend who is totally, unconditionally accepting and loving, in whom you can confide ANYTHING, knowing that you will be believed, understood and accepted. That is a rare and healing joy, especially for us Morgies, who are too often mistrusted, scorned and even overtly-abused for simply telling the truth of what we experience. Over our long and intimate lunch, I knew that I had a soul-sister, a friend for life. This is just the beginning Barb, of a long and loving friendship, and I look forward to many, more years.
Father and Mother in Heaven, we join hearts and souls in prayer. Extend your loving hands over our beloved Barb to bring her your healing grace. Restore the circulation in her remarkable brain, heal her gifted eyes, clear her clouded lungs, and comfort her soul. Grant her strength and courage to continue her fight through this crisis. May the hand of God Himself guide the hands and eyes of her the surgeons. Bless our Barb with many years of restored health. May all the angels surround her, embrace and protect her, every second of every day, as they whisper in her ears, "You are so loved." This we humbly pray.
All my love to Barb, her family and to those who also love her,
flo
PS Dear lilsissy, I am so very sorry for your pain too at this difficult time. Barb spoke of her love and deep admiration and respect for you and Karen. She spoke of your many late night calls, when one or another of you would find some piece of this bizarre puzzle and call to join formidable minds in piecing it together. You have many burdens right now, and we pray for courage and strength and peace for you and Karen and your families too.
Once again, I send love and prayers for all of our family here who are fighting the many crises this pitiful illness brings. We ARE all one! When one of us hurts or suffers, we all do, but together, we shall fight on and we shall overcome!
LET IT BE!

I agree totally with you Wally... I can imagine you both had a great time together. How wonderful!, for both of you. Barb and I have talked on the phone a few times and otherwise, we've never met though, but I can tell you that I've never had a friend who is such a courageous, strong, intelligent and loving person like her..and she's funny too!...I adore her and wish her all the best to get well soon, so I can take her to Salzburg one day soon. Love :-*Jeany

I'm sorry to hear this ............. but it's good to hear Barb is home. If she was sent home and able to email and let us all know she's OK ....... it indeed is encouraging. One year on Mothers Day I noticed a slight drooping of my mothers lip and a slight change in her speech. Asked if she felt OK and she stated she was just fine. Off to the emergency room we went anyway. I know the signs of stroke and don't play. They found two area's that indicated she had 2 mild strokes (at some time in her life). She's fine and still is. A close friend here (in perfect health) woke up one night feeling strange. She got up to go to the bathroom and collapsed not able to walk. She had had a major stroke. This was about 4 months ago. She was hospitalized about a month and is still going through physical therapy. Her speech is still slurred and she is still weak on one side but is now out of the wheel chair and able to walk with a cane. Her recovery has been slow but each time I see her I can see improvement. Yes, I am encouraged as well. Barb being home is a very good indicator. Thanks for letting us know Jen. Keep us updated. JJ

Your are so sweet flo,
I am holding up fine just praying for my loved ones .
We are truly in a battle.
Jen
Karen's ca19 level is 96 it was near 400. In the 30's is normal so she is responding to the D.C.A. regimen alternating with Chemo and the rife type technology ( James Bare ) machine, she can tell from pain reactions in her Pancreas when the machine hits the same frequency she responds to. Three times in a row she felt the same frequency when in a blindfold type experiment.

YOU ROCK BARB!!!!! I was sooooo happy to see your post! But please just rest... there's no need for you to have to type messages to us right now. We all love you so very much and know you're gonna come out of this the same fighter you always have been. I can say for myself that your strength alone has boosted mine to an all time high and I thank you for that my friend. I think God is telling you to take a break and rest tho from all your constant fighting and research. You deserve to let your body rest and heal right now so please do that ok? We're always gonna be here for you and we're all praying for you and we also know God hears us. So take a deep breath and give your body time to heal... we're not goin anywhere and are always with you!
I love you so much ~~ Robin

Jen, What wonderful news for Karen, that she's responding to the "sisters' protocol" and her numbers are going in the right direction. Continued good luck ! Your prayers have some major mo-jo, which is just what we would have expected from your Women Warriors stance !
Barb Dearest, Its a thrill to hear from you, still typing in the Neuro ICU...what a woman!!! Just as Bananny said, rest, sweet one, rest. Ive just come in from some errands and am so incredibly relieved to hear from you. I will call in a bit to hear your voice, offer my love and find out how I can help! Fight on Barb, as we KNOW you are, but fight the fight THIS time just for you! You bet they need to send that material to a pathology lab! Wont they be surprised when they see it looking right back at them! Hellooooo medical world...won;t you please listen to our call...."Houston, We've got a BIG problem!"
Much love and constant prayers, flo

Barb,
I was so happy to see your post. You mentioned your stroke might be parasite related. I bet it is, or at least Morgellons related. I recall you mentioning some unusual eye symptoms. Were these signs that a stroke was imminent?
