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!

Thank you so much! I do feel God's arm around me. I've been getting a lot of prayers answered with day to day dealings with the pension office and social security. It's all working out fine.

pml, this is good to hear! We do often worry and grieve over things we cannot control, when letting go and just trusting will bring the only peace possible. I will continue to pray for your peace through this season 🙏🏻

I want to second Ginger's remark about hospice. My mother in-law was in hospice the last ten days of her life but I really wish it had been the last six months. We felt supported as a family team and frankly I benefitted because I was more able to connect with her emotionally when I wasn't run off my feet with practical things. I think this was true for her son, my husband, too. He'd been there for every hospitalization and it was a huge relief to stay put at home. She died when he was in the room with her doing a crossword puzzle--an interest they shared.

What a nice memory! That your parents were doing something together when your mom died! I'm glad you had Hospice and it as helpful for you. My husband and I never got to the Hospice point but managed together. He died quickly which was my wish without pain. God answered my prayers! The 911 people got his heart going again but it was just his heart. It wasn't him.

I'm sorry for your loss but will say a prayer for you. Your Mom is up in Heaven now and you will someday be joining her.

Want to make sure his soul is right with the Lord and he has sins forgiven. There is life for him after he is gone one day.
