    Exclamation Apologies... Im having a very rough time right now.

    Hi all,
    This is a bit personal but as the forums owner I feel I need to post it. Last week I spent the week in the ER with my mom. She had complications from a knee surgery and a clot formed in her leg, and several in her lungs.While testing her for those they found a large" mass " around her trachea and on her lung thats restricting her breathing. Since then its been a whirlwind of testing and specialists, not to mention the emotional impact on our family. We wont have diagnosis on exactly what it is we are dealing with until next week. .. My time has been spent where it should be.. taking care of her and the Drs coordinations.

    I havent been very good about my pms and emails as a result. As the owner of the site I owe it to you all to explain why and ask for your understanding. I will do my best to reply as soon as I can but things are a little crazy right now and look like they will be for a while. I guess I am also just trying to warn you all that I will be scarce at times.

    This should not have much affect on orders of fish food from the Aquaticsuppliers.com website as I have recruited help there but I ask for your patience in case we lag alittle on orders.

    Lastly and most importantly Id also ask for your prayers, good will and positive thoughts. My Mom has been a selfless giver her whole life...she could really use your support and well wishes. Shes a very special person that has touched many lives and someone that means very very much to me and my family.

    Thank you all,
    Al

    We are the least of your concerns. Most of us have been through bad **** and understand.

    I don't pray. I will hope for the best possible outcome.

    Prayers and thoughts with you and your family. It is hard waiting on results and understand what is happening during these times. I am experiencing medical problems also with my wife. Trust in the lord and he will give you and your mother that peace that pass all understanding.
