For those that have followed me with my bil, please everyone pray. He was found unconscious today in the hospital, and they did an cat scan and found an lesion on his brain and one side is paralzyed. The drs said they can not do anything for him. We can not leave and be with him now cause it is a blizzard here. Please pray we can leave tommorow and make it on time. My husband is not taking this good at all, so also keep him in your prayers.

I am so very sorry, Paula. The holiday season is an especially difficult time to lose a family member. My grandmother was buried on New Year's Day. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

He's 26 again and free of pain, in heaven with family and watching over you all. You will all be together again one day, until then, just know he is with the angels.

Sending you angels too help ease your pain.

Thank you everyone, he is up in heaven with his mom and his big sister. Our 6 yr old son looks exactly like him, even more so now that he is no longer on this earth, so we will always have hubbys brother living on threw our son.

My hubby also thanks you all for your well wishes, he was reading them this morning and crying. He is trying to be strong but i think he is still in the numb stage.

We are still not sure on funeral plans or anything yet, it is so hard when things happen on the weekends, and no one knows of what he wanted. i just hope they let hubby have some say it what is going to happen.

so sorry to hear that. Hang in there I know it is a difficult time for you and your family.

thank you all, things are really an mess. Of course his 2 sisters took over and let my hubby have no say in any of the arrangements. The kicker is the funeral was supposed to be in our hometown, but his sister decided to have it were she lives, were he had only lived for a few months. Cause that way people dont have to travel in the snow. No consideration that we have to drive 4 hours with 5 kids in the snow. This has turned into ww3. I am just so fustrated with it all, my hubby cant even grieve cause he is so upset and hurt.

I wish I could go backhand those two sisters for you. It sounds like they have made everything as hard as they could from the very beginning. I am a firm believer that what goes around comes around and they will get theirs in the end. It doesn't sound like there is any way you can override their decisions, and they don't sound like the decisions your BIL would have wanted, but you will get through this. I hope 'the sisters' realize the damage they are doing and that their actions are going to drive a wedge in the family that may never be removed. You and your family remain in my prayers and I hope this ordeal is over soon and that your dominant memories of your BIL are good ones and not overshadowed by the memories of the sisters attitudes.

Im so sorry about your bil and Im sorry for what you are having to go through with his family.

I wish i could back hand them to. My hubby had it out with both of them last night, but no progress on the plans that they decided, but they gave lots of excuses for making the plans without him. what it all comes down to is no one wants to pay for any of it, and the ones who have paid some and compainingb about it. Hubby was like if we do it in our hometown, ill pay for the priest and the church, and we already have people that are willing to make the food(and real food, not coldcuts). I was like if everyone would just take 100 out of their christmas budget then he could have a great funeral. It just gets me they always have to have the latest gadgets during christmas, but they cant come up with money for an funeral. And many of the family members make 6 figures an yr. Then they told us we cant bury him now cause the ground is frozen. I really dont think they dotn bury everyone that dies in the winter. So im calling the mortuary today(i went to school with the cornoner) and find out what he really said. The biggbest kicker is they still dont know when the funeral will be, im so over this.

      Hey! How is your daughter doing now? I am dealing with very similar issues! All started after going gluten free after being diagnosed with celiacs 
    • larc
      Thanks for your thoughts on this. My reactions to gluten are complex and involve more than just my heart and arteries. The problems with what It does to my cardiovascular system do present me with a bit of a conundrum at times. For instance, I had cardio bypass surgery in 2002 (at age 53) and then again had angina and artery issues in 2006. At the same time, I was also suffering symptoms of early onset dementia while also experiencing symptoms of psychosis. That was when I discovered I had celiac and went on a. gluten-free diet. On that diet, my psychosis disappeared, my chest pain stopped and my cognitive issues also cleared up. Subsequently I began running and exercising again with no cardio problems. And my stress tests and cardio exams since then showed no evidence of artery problems. Plus, my lipid panels showed significant changes. My arteriosclerosis had started in 1992. At that time, my HDL cholesterol had always been measured in the 20s even though I exercised religiously, ate what was supposed to be a heart-healthy diet and was never overweight. After going on a gluten-free diet in 2006, my HDLs have been in the 60s and 70s. Since then, my usual symptoms of ingesting gluten are a temporary increase in blood pressure and certain intense types of hypnogogic hallucinations. The Afib stuff is a recent development. I will be discussing all of this again with my cardiologist in May. I discuss some of this in my substack (no paywall) at https://diaryofapreviouslydementedpoet.substack.com/

      Migraines are a recognized symptom of celiac disease. The incidence of it is higher in the celiac community than in the general population. It is one of mine. Well, keep us posted. Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled yet? Again, let me stress that it is important to not begin the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet until all testing related to celiac diagnosis is complete.
    • Jessica H
      No other testing has been done at this point, though I wonder if my diagnosis will prompt that. My main symptoms have been bowel related and I’ve had severe migraines for several years now but I’ve been seeing a neurologist for that and have it under control, though I now wonder if the migraines have been a symptom of Celiac all along.

      They do use stages but only when evaluated the damage done to the villi of the small bowel after looking at the biopsy samples. I'm referring to the "Marsh" scale. As far as I know, "stages" has never been applied to blood antibody test scores. It would not be appropriate to assign stages based on antibody scores as the damage done would depend not only the antibody levels in the blood at the time of testing but the duration of it and the intensity of it over time since the onset. And those are all very subjective things. I understand your concern about irreparable damage done to body systems but you are fairly young and your body still has very good rejuvenation powers. Is there laboratory or medical evidence that anything other than the lining of your small bowel has been compromised yet? Do you have bone demineralization for instance or unexplained dental decay or neurological deficits? Stuff like that? It took 13 years to arrive at a diagnosis of celiac disease in my case from the first laboratory evidence (elevated liver enzymes) of onset and by that time I had developed osteopenia. I was 50 or 51 at the age of diagnosis.
