My cousin in Canada needs as much prayers as possible.
She has a disease, and as far as they know she is the ONLY one in Canada that has it :( The doctors don't know anymore what to do.
She had a colonoscopy and they also found many many ulcers. Her legs might need to be amputated above the knees.
Nobody knows what the outcome will be.
PLEASE pray for her. I am very saddened by this, she is my only cousin AND we are the only 2 girls left on our side of the family. Her dad and my mom were brother and sister.
Her parents passed away, her hubby too, she has just come out of an abusive relationship. Her 2 children don't live close to her. She is almost all alone, besides her friends.
I CANNOT loose my cousin as well! I live thousands of miles from her, so can't go to help. I would if I could, in a heartbeat!
I can only pray for her and ask you too to pray, please.
Like I said, this made me SO sad, I am on the verge of tears and a breakdown.
Hugs from Marian/Dutchy, a farmgirl from the Netherlands :)

Oh Marian, just keep her in prayer, as I will. We will pray for her to be surrounded by caring people who will be there for her. I know that she knows you would be there in a heart-beat if you could.

Marian, Please let her there are tons of FarmGirls everywhere praying for her! I feel for you also. My family is very small and we are spread out all over America. I know these times are tough. Keep up positive thoughts for your cousin and yourself.
Maybe there are some of our Canadian sisters that might live close to her, and be willing to check in on her????

| Marian, do you know the name of her disease? I don't want to be nosy, but my father-in-law had one of those very rare illnesses and it can be extra hard to have something that isn't recognized and understood. Some of the health issues you are describing sound similar. If, by any chance, she has amyloidosis (which is what he had) I found a good website for patients and their families. |

Amie, the doctors don't even know what she has!!
Can you give me the link to that website? I will send it to her and she can check this out and have her doctors look at it too!!
Thanks

Hi, Marian. These are a couple of websites for that illness I mentioned. I suppose it's not very likely that this is what your cousin has (what are the odds with all the diseases that are out there?) but it's worth looking at, right? My father in law had kidney failure as a result of amyloidosis (and that's the more common symptom), but he also developed ulcers and lost feeling in his legs and feet.
How is your cousin doing? Any new developments? |

Marian, so sorry to hear of this. Hopefully with all the new technology something can be done to help your cousin. Sending healing thoughts and prayers her way, and yours, as well.

How scary this sounds, it is so hard to be so far away when our loved ones are ill. I will be sending my best healing thoughts to your cousin. Medicine is taking leaps and bounds in all sorts of areas so there is always hope. You take good care of yourself too, give Elvis an extra snuggle.

Thanks for the links! I will send it to her, so she can ask her doctors. You never know, right?
All info is welcome at this moment.
Haven't heard from her yet but send her an email yesterday. Waiting for her to reply.
Hugs and keep the prayers coming.
