Hello friend. I hope all is going well at your homestead. The baby is beautiful!! Have you visited with Mrs. Addy lately? Just thinking of her and missing those posts. Praying for you and yours, Lona

Friend, my Aunt Gwen suffers from this disease. It is just horribly sad and she is just….*sigh*….pitiful for lack of a better word. She found out she had this when she was 22. The doctor told her she would not live 20 years…yet, here she is at 45. She is always trying new things from the latest shots, drugs, to even bee sting therapy, and I’m sad to say that things work, but only for a very short time. She had to leave a good job b/c she kept falling, and she now permanently drags one of her feet. She has good days and bad days, but I think that most the time the bad outweigh the good. I will pray for your friend, and I hope you will pray for my sweet aunt. I really hate to hear this. What a wonderful she has been…and I know you have certainly returned the love. –S

Katie,

Thank you so much for your prayers for her. She is doing about the same. In and out of the hospital. No real improvements in her health. I do appreciate you asking about my dear friend though. Keep praying!!

Kendra,

I was wondering if you have any updates on Addy? I see this post was from July, I didn’t know if you had any more news on how she is doing/ feeling? I am still praying for her and her family!

Kendra,

I just visited your site for the first time today and liked what I saw. When I saw your story about Addy it hit close to home. I also have MS and have been in really really bad shape before. But I wanted to let you know there’s a chance she will go into remission and feel better again. I have done exactly that and hope I continue to feel good. I also have septic arthritis, fibromyalgia and thyroid disease and have good and bad days, but there’s hope she will improve.

God Bless!

I haven’t visited this site in a while, but I so enjoyed the Butterberry Farms series, as a “wannabe homesteader” living in the suburbs. I am so sorry to hear about Addy’s decline in health. I am glad you had time to know her when she was well and share your wonderful stories about her here, and I agree that your visits probably mean a great deal to her, even if she doesn’t communicate as much. I do have to admit that I worry about her family. It seems like she did *SO* much to care for everyone and the homestead, I can’t imagine how they are managing.

I will definitely add Addy and her family to my prayer list.
