My wife, Sherrie Ratterree, has been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. It is enlarged, and we have been told it is a long journey ahead of us. We are being scheduled for a KU in KC appointment hopefully soon. She was laid off from her job, and my job now has been to take care of her. Luckily for me, my job has told me to take as much time as I need to get her back to a healthy status. They've even told me they'll build me a ramp for our house to make it easier to get her to and from her appointments. But we have no income now and unfortunately no insurance. I'm trying to stay as positive as I can, but with a mortgage and two vehicle payments, not to mention utilities and everything that goes along with life, it seems insurmountable. I was told to place her in a facility that could take over in caring for her during this time. Of course, we couldn't afford it, but I would never ever make her go through this alone without me and her loving kids. I've taken over as her rock, as the person who will put her in that wheelchair, the person giving her prescriptions, the person that reminds her that even though her thoughts and words sometimes don't make sense, or that please, my love, get back here with us, I'm trying to keep your mind right here now. I've never been that guy that asks for anyone else's help, but we need it. I'm keeping my kids positive she will get better... she will be with us for many more years. If you don't have it, I totally understand, been there and am there now. But mostly to her friends, this would be fantastic for you to just come see her and hug her or have a conversation with her. This whole process she's told me don't say anything, don't tell anyone. But my love for her, I feel it is my duty to post this and let all her and my friends know what she is going through. My arms are sore, my shoulders are sore from the constant lifting, pulling, and sometimes dragging her to help her from one spot to another. But my heart is the most sore that so many of her friends don't know what she is dealing with. I ask you in kind, anything you can do to help is everything. It doesn't have to be money, just support for a gal that is the sweetest person I know that I fail in comparison to. Thank you for all you can do to help. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
