He will have no fear of bad news, his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. Psalm 112:7

Just an update...

...since my facebook is blowing up. (PS thank you for all the sweet messages)

Craig's pain level has elevated over the past 48 hours. He has increased his pain meds which intern will probably make him sleep more. He is jaundice. Hospice was here today and got some medicines adjusted and talked about some future plans. Overall we are in the unknown of how much time we have left with him. It could be days, it could be a couple weeks. We're not sure. He is out of pain now and watching mindless TV so for this minute now we are "fine".

Last night was tough, I was reading over many post I wrote in the past year. I never wanted to lose him but the cancer life I would like to lose. The reality that they are one in the same is really hard to come to terms with. It is a tough journey and I will be content to see the cancer life go but so incredibly sad to see my husband go with it.

I have been praying for your family for several months. I pray for peace and comfort for you and Craig as well as your family and friends. You are on a journey that no one should have to travel. Your blog is so honest, I applaud you and Craig for sharing the good and bad thoughts, even when I am sure it is not an easy thing to do. I will continue to pray for all of you.

As has often been the case over the past year or so, I struggle now to find the right words to try to provide you with some comfort. So like Lavin, all I can say is how very much I love you, respect you and care for you and your INCREDIBLE family. The incredible faith in God that you all have shown throughout this ordeal has been a shining example for all of us who care about you greatly.
