Please everyone can we keep Antmaril and her husband in our prayers..

[Mackey Mouse]

She posted on the Cancer sucks thread...she is with her husband in Hospice, he is in last stages of his battle with Pancreatic Cancer..

I ask that we keep them both in our prayers and most especially prayers that her husband passes peacefully, without pain......he and she put up a valiant fight against this beast.

Thanks everyone...I know she will appreciate all our prayers..

Marilyn, hang in there, we are here for you.

[antmaril]

Thank you Marsha - I really appreciate it.

I am thinking of you, and what you are going through.

[annie1995]

You and your DH are in my prayers. :hug:

[zalansky]

Many, many hugs to you Marilyn. :sad1:

[Mackey Mouse]

Marilyn let me know that the hospice nurse says it may be very soon...if not tonight, maybe morning.. I know she is by his side and I know this is going to be very hard for her.

You know the weird thing is we all do not know each other and yet we can come together and surround these people in prayers and good energy. It is the right thing to do....I hope that he goes peacefully....

[zalansky]

Marsha,
Your post brought me right back to the memories of being with my parents when they passed. it gave me chills. i will keep Marilyn, her husband and her family in my thoughts tonight...and that everything is as peaceful as it can be.
God bless!

Thank you for the prayers everyone. My husband, Mat, is still hanging on this morning. As much as he said he was accepting of his situation and feels that God has a plan for him, in the end, he's fighting with everything he's got.

I've reassured him many times that it's okay to go, but so far, he's not ready. We will see what today brings.

Thanks again.

[Mackey Mouse]

Marilyn.. prayers for Mat. God bless him. I am not so sure it is easy to leave this world and our loved ones behind no matter how many times you say you think you are ready.. Hugs, HUgs, hugs, I am still praying for you both.

[hegs65]

[travellady]

Antmaril, I'm thinking of you during this difficult time. I pray you have strength as you face the challenges of Mat's sickness and the challenges of walking down a new life path without him.

I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer on July 7, 1994 so reading through this thread brought me back to July, fourteen years ago. I continue to miss him daily but am thankful for the years we did have.

[disney kid at heart]

Prayers for you and Mat! It is so hard to leave loved ones here. Hugs and prayers for you both.

My prayers are added for Mat and his family:hug:

[antmaril]

Good Morning Everyone. Mat is still hanging on.

Last night was one of the worst we've had since this journey began in November. He came around from a deep sleep about 8:30 and started "fussing". It became apparent that he was in pain. He started screaming. We haven't been able to understand anything he says for a few days. We just can't make it out. He was just screaming - making sounds that didn't seem human. My poor son (21) is experiencing this with me. The nurses are scrambling to get breakthrough pain medication into his IV. They increased the dosage on the pump. It was just awful. If he had passed at that moment, it would not have been a peaceful passing, however, it would have been a blessing.

I hope I never have to see that again, but as this drags on and on, I fear I will.

Thanks to all for keeping us in your prayers. We need them, now more than ever.

[iluvdisney]

Another prayer going out for you and your family in this very trying time.

[Mackey Mouse]

I am praying that this man who is facing eminent death does not have to feel it with terrible pain.. I cannot stand that he is in pain.....stop the pain, give him whatever he needs so that he does not feel the pain.

[pumba]

I will keep you and your family in my prayers. :hug:

[Tiger Lily 03]

Adding my prayers. Peace for Mat and peace and strength for the family, friends and caregivers.

[phamton]

My prayers will also be with you and your family. I pray that he will be free of pain and that his time left on this earth will be filled with peace.

[lbgraves]

Prayers being said that you will both find peace.

[Mary Jo]

My prayers are with you at this time, and my thoughts, too. May you find peace during this sad time, and strength. I lost my own father to pancreatic cancer in '05, and I really understand your struggle.

God Bless.

[Pumbaa_]

My prayers for a peaceful passing for Mat, and for your family Marilyn

[goldcupmom]

Many prayers being said & have passed this along to my prayer warrior friends.

[Mackey Mouse]

Thanks Goldcupmom.....there is power in prayer. No more suffering for this family..

[Disney Brat]

Just wanted to stop in and let you know that I thought about you guys today, said a special prayer for you as well!

[mommasita]

I just wanted to let you know that continued prayers are being said for Mat as well as yourself and your son. As Marsha stated, the power of prayer is an amazing thing, and something I firmly believe in. Your DIS family is all surrounding you with prayer.


If there is ANYTHING you need, even someone to chat to, please do not hesitate to PM me. I will be glad to help in any way possible..

Prayers for peace, no more pain, and strength for you all..:hug:

[antmaril]

Mat is still hanging on this morning. He has been sleeping 24/7 these last couple of days. They increased his pain meds and he's under all the time, which is a good thing. I've had two oncologists tell me that it won't be long now.

Thank you for your prayers.

Marilyn

[WDWLVR]

Marilyn - I'm glad to hear that he's under which hopefully means more at peace. Continue to talk to him and as hard as it is let him know it is ok for him to go. I will continue to keep you both in my prayers. :hug:

[Rustysmom]

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'm sending out lots of prayers. It's such a horrible disease. My mom died of it 3 months ago and it was horrible.

[antmaril]

Marilyn - I'm glad to hear that he's under which hopefully means more at peace. Continue to talk to him and as hard as it is let him know it is ok for him to go. I will continue to keep you both in my prayers. :hug:

Yes, I tell him every day that it is ok for him to go. I tell him not to be afraid - he will be with God. I remind him that there will be no pain, just eternal happiness.

[Mackey Mouse]

Hugs Marilyn... we are here for you and all of us praying.. no pain, peaceful for him, please dear God.

[Jcricket Fan]

Continued prayers. I pray that the peace of God be with you now & always.
