Need your prayers!

Posted by pml @pml, Jun 22 3:58pm

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!

Hospice care will help both him and you. You need some rest to be there for him. Hospice staff knows how to make things more comfortable for him.
There is also Palliative care. Please, you cannot continue to do all this on your own.

I pray that God pours His healing grace down upon your husband. Father God I lift up this wonderful wife, who loves her husband to you. Please give her the strength and discernment to make the best choice for her husband and herself. Father, I thank you for healing grace and the love You have for this family. It is in the mighty Name of Jesus I pray. Amen

@pml

My thoughts are with you. Do you have option for hospice at home? My mom did for 5 weeks and about to go to resident hospice care when passed. We had an excellent hospice at home company, They was very helpful with equipment, support, home medication management, even music therapy. She was reluctant at first, but once got in place, she enjoyed visits and esspecally music therapy. Her Medicare ins policy covered everything. I do not know what kind of policy she had, did not pay attention to that at time.

Do you have help at home to take care of your husband?
