Hello Friends & Family,

Reaching out for our son Joe that most of you may know or know of because I am the mom that always post's the pictures or the stories. (Most of the time against his will, but he will be a parent some day and then get it.

Joe had some general medical issues back at the end of May.

Since that time he has had :

3 trips to Houlton Emergency room, with 1 being by Ambulance.

2 trips from Houlton ER to Portland ER both by Ambulance and then

Admitted twice into Portland Hospital which is about 4 hours from home with 1 procedure.

The most recent, he was in Houlton Emergency room for 5 days (we would of been lost with out the care and compassion from the Emergency room Doctors and Nurses.)

He was then sent by Ambulance to Boston Medical Center which is about 6 hours from home for 4 days needing another procedure. He is finally home and resting. We are not done yet and will be traveling again the next 2 months numerous times.

We are reaching out for a bit of extra help financially if you are able. We could also use all the extra love and healing thoughts you have. This has been a rough road for Joseph. As parents, Ted and I are not sure if we are coming or going. We have been blessed with wonderful work families that have let us do what we needed to for him. Riley & Hanna have had to hold down the fort with the animals. Thank goodness we had some family help in Boston to navigate because as Ted put it, we are not in Kansas any more.

Thankyou so much for taking the time to read, share and send well wishes.

The Marley Family
