The Road Ahead - Dr.s not hopeful. But HE is strong when we are weak!

Good Morning Dear Friends,

Thank you again for standing with us in prayer and support, and walking this road with us.  I know some folks may drop off, get busy with life, etc…  I know, life is busy, and one doesn't really appreciate walking this road unless you've done it.

I want you all to know how much your prayers and your comments lift us all up!  I really get a charge out of you guys and your words, thoughts, and prayers!!!  I'm so touched by all of you I've crossed paths with in this life, who are now surrounding us with love and care!  Thank You!

Grandma & I had a meeting with the Palliative Care Dr. to discuss going forward.  Several times I heard "prognosis is not good" "all the Dr's are saying this,"  etc..  She now has fractures in the vertebrae, which would account for the "I hurt everywhere" comments..

So this has never been a good diagnosis from the Drs and it keeps getting worse.  They are not hopeful, but we are!

She is extremely weak now and bedridden.  Has a difficult time even lifting her arms, and tries to stretch her back by putting her head up.  I can't imagine how frustrating it is…  Not able to get out of bed for the bathroom…

Calcium down in the 12.5 range (8-10.5 normal) this morning, so heading in the right direction. Hemoglobin up from 7 to 10 (10.8-15 normal), so we're heading in the right direction on that...

We got the TPN, Nutrition in and it's been going about 36 hours now.  She's becoming a bit more responsive.

Once we get her a bit more stabilized it looks like they'll be sending her to a skilled nursing facility so they can keep the fluids & liquid nutrition flowing.

Then we'd like to get back to the Clinic in Georgia for some mineral IV's and then a NC clinic to fight the cancer…

The Pulmonary Doctor was just in and shared that the liver is not doing well at all…  He said "if she goes into a nursing facility it's probable that she won't come out."

BUT, we're still praying for that Miracle healing and believing it will come.  We may have to go to the brink, but not all the way…
Psalm 103:4 "who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion"

Please pray specifically for;
- Freedom from pain
- Continued improvement of all vitals
- Liver function to return to full operation
- Cancer to GO in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
- Overall healing
