Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 I am so sorry to hear that you keep getting such bad news.....How is Art taking this....is he the typical man...not really showing his emotions or has he been able to express either anger or fear...I hope he is able to get some of that out of him....it must be so heavy to carry the weight of all this and not get some of it our..... I know it was just the other day but have they decided on what to do about putting in a drain to keep him from getting ill..... I am glad that you were able to move up the baptism ....how old is ....and I hope that Art was feeling well enough to be able to get his pass....I hope this Mothers day will become a nice memory for you..... Again my house has the lovely smell of pear....from my candle that I have lite ....Know that everytime I smell it I am thinking of you both and your family....

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Art is actually doing pretty well...his faith is very strong, he's talking to everyone about what is happening and he's very much at peace, and I'm getting there, too. Then - he had a b.m. this morning - they really weren't expecting that, so the blockage has opened enough to let stuff pass. The tumor is still there, but he's back to a full liquid diet. So it's a race to see if the tumor blocks his bowel, the other tumor shuts off blood to his liver, or the cancer pain kicks into his liver. but every day is a gift, at this point. He's happy to be home, we've moved an extra bed downstairs - he really did not want a single hospice bed, with me upstairs. And the kids are (at this moment) being a pain...(back to normal...) :-) Ellen __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Ellen, I'm glad that Art is at peace and has the faith he has. I hope that will help you too. As for the kids. This has to be very stressful for them and kids have a way of acting out their stress instead of talking it out. I hope they are getting counseling too. Our prayers are still with all of you. I'm glad Art is able to be home and you can enjoy each other, that's got to be so much better than to be in the hospital. Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
