At the time that I'm putting my fingers on the keyboard to add to your thread it's 4 minutes past the witching hour for me, and throughout yesterday and last night I was giving some consideration to appealing to one or two of the other more general boards for more thoughts and prayers for you and yours, JandJ.
But something, someone?, compelled me to take another look at all assembled here and I saw all of the old and new friends gathered here, and the new friends to come out of lurking, as being all you need as, Bette Midler sang, to be the wind beneath your wings.
We will lift you off the ground, honey. Believe it. As I told you at the beginning, this is your thread and it seems to me that what you've got here - what you have facilitated and enabled entirely through your action in reaching out in blind faith, blind hope, or by pure chance or in utter despair, is the means for a group of disparate strangers to be drawn together in a common cause, and that cause is the welfare and wellbeing you and your dh.
You've given us the opportunity to validate ourselves; to show that we can put aside the trials and tribulations of the everyday to join together in unity, a demonstration that like attracts like, and that the power of positive thinking is a force for good to be reckoned with and, on behalf of all of us, I thank you for that 
In amongst the assorted and somewhat diverse thoughts for day that I've dispensed on your thread over the past couple of weeks are a couple of quotes from one of my distant relatives, or more properly a twig on the family tree distant relative through marriage way before my dgps' generation.
I was saving another of their gems for today but I'm now moved to flit around your thread with a virtual Dyson and hoover up all of the varied thoughts of the past couple of weeks, and put them here in one place so that you can choose any or all of them to be your mantra today and in the days to come - but please rest assured or discombobulated that my huge sack little book of memorable quotes, which I first began to compile when I realised the significance of said distant relative on the world stage, is by no means exhausted and this means that there will be more to come.
So here they are in all their Olympian glory:
Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist
A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow
It's not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain
Know your limitations and then defy them
When the world pushes you to your knees, you are in a perfect position to pray
Pressure makes diamonds
Live with no excuses. Love with no regrets
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security
Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out
Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day from being realised
There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle
To believe a thing is impossible is to make it so
When it is dark enough you can see the stars
When everything seems to be against you remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it
Anyone who elects to cross stitch any/all of these pearls of wisdom on a sampler or cushion cover is a better woman than I am, Gunga Din. And if my trusty but virtual Dyson has omitted to release a quote or two, I hope that a mechanic one of you will persuade the machine to disgorge it.
In faith, love, and solidarity, we will prevail, JandJ.
