Hello everyone.
I am forwarding a email I received from my sister in law Cathie. I wanted 2 pass it along. Please read it and see if you can help her out. She is selling items on her ebay store 2 help with costs for my nephew Johnathon that has Autism. She doesn't want any money she just wants 2 get the word out regarding her Autism ebay store. She has lots of different thing for sale. So PLEASE help and check it out and pass this letter along.
Thanks for the help.
Heather

Dear family and friends,
Thank you so much for the last 7 1/2 months of prayers and well wishes during all of my surgeries, and the other challenges our family has had that most of you know about that is on-going and stressfull.
To date, I have had my neck surgery in Nov., was not fully successful, my 2 ring and pinky fingers on my left hand still do not work, I drop everything, and wear a hand brace, and my hand has lost most the muscle and is 2 1/2 inches smaller than my right hand, my left arm is weak, but my bladder and balance problem got better, so next week I will find out when the Neurosurgeon will do the neck surgery AGAIN and this time take out my C-7 bone in my neck, like the C-5 and C-6, he will replace it with cadavear "human" bone, a titanium plate and screws, and maybe I can use my hand again...

Since the neck surgery in November, I also had my skin cancer removed from my face, a dime size circle near my left top lip, & then had reconstructive surgery the next day to close the wound & even up my cheeks, , & this has healed very well....

Then on May 25th I had my surgery to repair a Rectocele repair, not going into detail about what they did, look it up, I had never heard of this before either, and I am in the medical field!!
I am only 38, this happens when you are older usually, but my luck, having an 11 pound baby (Sarah), & family genes, I had to have this done, just add to the other pain!!.. Kind of a joke made by many during this, I have a pain in my neck and in my --ss.. and it really is no joke!...both are VERY painful.
I was in the hospital only 2 days for this, developed anemia, but three weeks later, I am still in pain, but it is getting better, but  seriously, I would take the neck surgery pain again any day!

So add all of this together, with being out of work, 2 teenagers, & having Jonathan, going through early puberty at almost 9 with the challenges of Autism, & the personal stress and thoughts about the legal mess with their dad being arrested and the reasons for it, losing custody, most of you know about, our family has been through ALOT in the last almost 8 months. Through alot of tears & prayers.... & some laughs about my butt, we are getting through it....
This email was to thank all of you who have done so much for us, helping when I have been hospitalized, and recovering ,with the kids, dinners, cards, emails, calls, ect..

But this email is to ask for more prayer, for the kids going through all of this emotion, added to my medical problems, to pray my next surgery will be the last, and to pray for Mark. He works so hard to support us, and without him, the children would not be dealing with all of this as well. I also am asking if you wouldn't mind, helping us financially, NOT WITH MONEY, don't freak out.. but if you could please forward the link below to an Ebay Store I started to help us financially.

In my downtime, I have started selling the shirts I have made for Jonathan, and other Misc. things I can come across to sell.  My brother-in-law Matthew is helping supply a box of T-shirts for me that he was given, and hopefully not only can I raise the Awareness of Autism, but make a little extra money to pay our bills!!!
Here is the link:  http://stores.ebay.com/Autismom-Rocks-Awareness  You can either type it in or copy and paste it, or forward this email... either way, is fine.
Thank you so much, we'll keep in touch with the progress of surgery ect...one day at at time, it will get better... God promises us that he will never give us more than we can handle...
Thank you for passing this link along, it only takes a few minutes of your time, & could help us be able to pay our debts, until I can get back to work... hopefully around October.

Love you all,
Cathie.... and Mark, Amanda, Sarah Julie & Jonathan

and please pass on to your friends to help Autism Awareness, and make it easier for families like ours to be in public with our children when they have moments that others are quick to judge as bad parenting, maybe next time they will understand the child has a disability and cannot help thier behaviors. Thanks!
