Need your prayers!

Posted by pml @pml, Jun 22, 2024

My husband's lung cancer has taken a turn for the worse. I would deeply appreciate any and all prayers for him! He's using his nebulizer every 2 hours and is on Prednisone and Morphine. We get up two to three times a night since he is gasping for breath and needs to use his nebulizer. He gets breathless just walking down the hall. He was in the ER two weeks ago. We don't have hospice yet but may have to eventually. I don't know what they could do. I'm doing everything. However, a doctor would come to our home since Ed isn't well enough to go to the doctor's office.

I know that God is in control and always has been. Everything is in God's time. We pray often. We both know that we'll be in Heaven together in the future.
Thank you so much for your prayers!

Dear PML,
My heart goes out to you and your husband. I am sending my best thoughts and prayers. I want to echo what others said about enlisting hospice care. They are a loving and compassionate team of professionals who will provide comfort care for your husband and will provide you with support.

Laurie:
I'm the only one taking care of my husband at the moment and it works out fine. My mom was in a similar situation as my husband is and I took care of her for 10 years. So, I have some understanding of what is needed and experience with 24 hour oxygen. However, if we need hospice in the future we will consider it. Both the doctor's office and the Fire Dept. have given us good resources whom I have talked with.

That's so nice that you had a good hospice care for your mom. I'm sorry for your loss. I still miss my mom and she died in 1991 but I know I'll be in Heaven with her at one point and so will you with your mom!
