  • Vitamin K2 is needed for bones as well as Vit D3 and magnesium. 
    And of course lots of calcium and other minerals.

  • I gave but I wish you would have gone to Give send Go. I hate to give such a large percentage to a lousy organization like Go fund Me.
    God bless

  • We reached the goal. This forum has amazingly generous Catholics on it. About half of the money donated came from this forum. You have really saved us. Thank you and may God bless you all.

    I have turned off donations now. Thank you all once again!

  • We went to the doctor today for follow up on her leg surgery. He agreed to also take over the followup for her arm surgery. So now we do not need to drive 3 hours away for that.

    The doctor did xrays and said both surgeries are healing perfectly. They removed the stitches from her leg and gave her a boot which she can take off at night. They will remove the arm stitches on the 24th.

    Everything is looking good. And my older sister who is a nun is staying with us now for 2 weeks for her yearly home visit. God is so good!

  • My family has been helping out with the kids a lot. My mom helps us watch the baby and my sister has been driving the older kids from school. Still the nights are very hard because the baby sleeps with us. My older sister who is a nun is coming tomorrow for her yearly home visit and I know she will be a big help.
    That is good!  Glad to hear that you have family who are able to help a bit!  

    And thank you for the updates!  I hope that your wife gets better soon!  :pray:

    It is still going to be a couple weeks before I can begin working again when Roselyn can walk, so I'm turning the donations back on. We are eternally grateful for the help you've given us so far. This forum has been so generous and it has really saved us this past month. I can't express my thanks properly. God bless you all!

  • A member of this forum (I am 99% sure) has now donated $500 to us not just once but twice again today. $1000 from a total stranger who is obviously a very good Catholic to say the least. I was able to see their name but this person has chosen to donate anonymously so I will not give anything away.

    All I can say is this $1000 you have given us has enabled us to buy food, diapers, baby formula, gas and pay our bills in this time of need while I can't work. I am eternally thankful and I hope God will repay this act of Christian charity 1000x fold.

    Thank you, thank you,  thank you. We are going to use $10 of the money you donated to have a TLM mass said for your intentions. God grant you many years!

    The goal was reached yet again. You are all so amazing. All we can do is pray God rewards you for your generosity. I am turning the donations off for the final time now. Thank you all and may God reward you!

    I pray there is never a next time. This situation was very hard and humbling for me and I can't imagine how hard it has been for my wife.

  • It is a blessing to see and hear of when we come together as the body of Christ to help and encourage one another. I await eagerly for the restoration of the church.

  • December 25th

    Unbelievably we are in need once again. It has been a very humbling year.

    My wife Roselyn has almost completely recovered from the arm and leg breaks and I began working in October at a new job. The job had six weeks of training, but in the middle of November, I got very very sick and had to miss a lot of training and ended up losing that job. I didn't get any better for weeks and weeks, having incredible pain in my back, shoulder and side, along with fever and cold sweats and shivering.

    I finally went to the hospital on December 13 and was in such incredible pain I couldn't believe it. The ER gave me a CT scan and found that I had a gigantic abscess on my spleen that needed to be operated on as soon as possible. It ended up taking some time to have the procedure done on my spleen while I was just taking antibiotics. Finally, last Friday they drained the abscess of 160 cc of fluid and found that I had an E. coli infection. This is why I have been getting sick all throughout November because sometimes some of the E. coli would go into my bloodstream and I'm actually very lucky that I didn't die of sepsis.

    Recovery from the procedure has been really tough this past week and I've been in a lot of pain and also been having trouble breathing. They told me that I also have fluid in my lungs called a plural effusion. Now because of the holiday, I am waiting probably until January for the next steps. All of the doctors are out of the office.

    Anyways, I have now been out of work again since mid November and we are once again very desperate. It is not possible for me to work right now due to pain in my side chest and shoulder and trouble breathing. I cannot believe I have to ask again, but this community was so generous with my wife's ailments. I don't know where else to turn. Anyway you can help with prayers or donations is highly appreciated.
