Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
Farming has been going well. Our crop look remarkable.
Thanks for remembering my brother. He went through chemo and radiation. It shrunk his tumor, but they still had to do surgery. He has adjusted well. Has a good attitude and the doctor said they are almost 100% certain they got all the cancer. He looks much better.
The big problem I haven’t mentioned yet is my sister in law. I have been debating whether I should mention it because my sister in law and other brother are not big fans of social media. Also as much as we would appreciate the prayers I don’t like to bring up religion here even though I don’t really think this would break that rule or offend anyone.
I have been thinking I should bring it up and I think this is probably a good time.
My sister is in law has had serious back problems for many years. It got to the point it was simply not tolerable anymore. She had a major back surgery over four weeks ago. She has had a multitude of complications. Her kidneys shut down. She has a bad infection. She has complications from the anesthesia that have really complicated things. She has sugar. She hasn’t been eating. She is definitely in need of prayers. I feel so bad for my brother who has been at her side the entire time.
I really can’t give much more details than that as communication with my brother has been hard to get and usually passed along by one of us. Usually I think no new is good news but it seems that isn’t the case here. I think the good news has gotten so rare that my brother just can’t bare to give us the bad news.
I do know she has had several surgeries since and one the day before yesterday. They had to drain fluids and find infection.
As I understand it was in the hardware. They removed almost half the hardware and replaced it. The last I knew she was not recovering well from the anesthesia. They didn’t think her kidney was filtering properly.
I have been so thankful for the beautiful crops we have had this year. But my prayers of thanksgiving are immediately followed by requests for strength and healing for my sister in law and my brother.
Times like this really make us realize what really is important.

I'm really sorry for the bad news.
I have a difficult relationship with religion and prayers but I wish you and your dears all the best.
If power of though exists some positive energy will reach you.
bjrogg:
I can’t see anything other than my first post on the new page again.
I can see that Glis replied last, but I can’t see his reply yet or anyone else’s if they did.
Hopefully a couple replies and I can
