I'm not much of a writer, so please bear with me.
My wife has CML. (Chronic Mylogenous Leukemia) Right now she weighs 89 pounds. She is being treated at Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville for her leukemia but on Monday she was diagnosed with double pneumonia.
December was a rough month for us. Power bills, and fuel bills depleted our very limited amount of money. We had no Christmas except for a tree and I bought my 4 year old beloved grandson some Dollar Store Hot Wheels. As you can see there's no splurging.
My wife's medicine has a $1.10 copay for each script. On Monday, the pharmacist we've dealt with for 40 years let us get it with 80 cents worth of dimes I had saved.
We're 15 miles from a city where we can get help so every trip is gas I can't afford.
The pharmacist told me that I desperately needed to get my wife to a pulmonary specialist. The problem is that I've got 4 cents to do us until Feb. 3rd's SSDi.
I feel like I'm begging to ask my longtime friends on Kos for help. Plus, I have no idea about how I could get help from someone to me.
It seems that praying on my knees has been less than helpful and I guess what I'm doing is begging, but I ain't too proud to do that to save my wife's life.
I'm not sure how long I will be on here today, it depends on how bad my wife gets as the day progresses.
One more favor to ask, please pray for my wife if you can, it's the only hope I've got left.
