Prayers that she can get this all sorted out at UT (or anywhere else, for that matter), and prayers that your dad can get a bit of a break, catch up on sleep, and be there for your step-mom! 🙏🙏🙏

They change the dressing around the tubes Tiffany has at this Dr every week. I cut my thumb pretty good at work, trying to stone a piece of tooling to go in a machine. I had put grease, and wrapped it in tape to stop the bleeding. Nurse shook her head at me, and made me let her clean it up, and put a bandage 🤣

That sounds like a remedy your SIL would recommend.

For the record, I put tape on cuts often, I just leave out grease.

Tiffany's Dr today said they got the referral sent yesterday to Nashville, so hopefully we hear something soon. Also, my insurance called her, they have a patient advocate thing. They've talked before, but she asked her for details, and asked if she'd care if they try to help find a Dr that could possibly help. I thought that was pretty cool, and don't necessarily think it was about saving money. They've called before like I said, and have gave advice, and offered free counseling just to help her deal with it. Another also, and I'm excited about this, you all pretty much know details about us, cause I yap🤣. She sleeps in the bed occasionally, but it's hard because of the draining issues. I sleep in the living room a lot in my recliner, because she has to sleep in hers. It stinks, but we've done what we've had to. She's on disability, I'm sure I've mentioned that. It's not a lot, but it's helped, especially having the extra insurance, cause we'd be broke with medical bills. That's mainly what she's used it for, medical bills, medicine, this IV treatment, etc. Since the house is paid off, we have been talking, and stopped by the sleep number store between Dr visits today. She's buying her a bed that will elevate, so she can come back to the bedroom full time. We'll get it delivered after we do the flooring in the bedroom. You all know me, I'm not posting that to brag we got a bed, because we're not rich 🤣. I am excited about it, as silly as that may seem, because we can have a little normal back in our lives. I share a lot of bad, and try to share the blessings also, because you all are invested in her as well. The chair she has was an absolute blessing, and it still will be. She'll use it during the day resting when I have to sleep. She's kicked back in it now doing her treatment. Just thought I'd yap for a minute.

O Lord, through the passion of the most sacred heart of Jesus, I beseech Thee to heal Tiffany. We thank you for giving her and her family the courage to face the situations so that others may see your perpetual light shining through them, a beacon of strength that overcomes setbacks, and reaffirms your precious love for all. In the name of Jesus Christ, King of Kings, please hear and bless this prayer O Heavenly Father. Amen
