An update on my mom

[bsnyder]

I had some people inquiring and realized it had been some time since I had posted anything about how my mom is doing.

I wish I had better news to report, but unfortunately, her cancer is spreading very quickly now. This morning she got the results of an MRI on her legs and the cancer has spread there so badly that the doctors are worried one of her hips is about to fracture.

The doctor has recommended that we call in Hospice, so we have an appointment with them tomorrow.

Through it all, my mom is showing extraordinary courage and faith. Her initial prayer, for God's grace to deal with whatever comes, has been fully answered each and every day.

She had me send out an email to friends and family updating them on the situation, and her closing paragraph was this:

Knowing I am in God’s care is giving me so much comfort, strength and ultimate hope. I believe at the end, God will call me by name.

Sorry to hear things are not going well for you, but it sounds like your mom has quite a journey ahead, and she knows she will be in good hands.

Very sorry to hear this but it sounds like your mom is showing great strength. Please know that you have lots of friends here if you need a 'shoulder' or a show of support.

Continued prayers for your Mom you and your family Bet. I know how devastating this must be for you all.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Hospice is wonderful. My uncle just passed and was in hospice care, and I don't know where we would have been without them. Prayers continue for your mom and you.

Prayers for your Mom, you and your family.

My Mom finally decided on Hospice and was very happy with them. Although I think we scared them, being so involved. Our file actually noted that we were the most involved family my Mom's nurse had ever seen.

I love the closing paragraph your Mom is using.

I am so sorry to hear this update. She is very courageous and her faith is touching many people in many ways. How incredible it is to know that even through something as horrific as this cancer that God is holding you (and you all) in His right hand. Hugs!!!

Oh, Bet! I was wishing and praying when I opened this thread, I'd read better news!

I am so sorry. I was hoping you'd get more time.

Prayers for your mom & for you and all your family. Two verses that I have always found very comforting are:



Proverbs 18:10 - The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.




Psalms 9: 9-10: The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Bet, I'm so sorry to hear this. Your mom is an amazing woman.....inspirational even.
Your family continues to be in my prayers.
