Debbie is still in the hospital. Her latest CT scan showed that the two spots on her liver have roughly tripled in size. She is also continuing to experience nausea and pain from a blockage in her intestines. They assume that the cancer is causing the blockage. She cannot keep down any food or liquid at this time without severe pain and nausea. She is being nourished through IV.
At this point the plan is to start an experimental form of chemotherapy as soon as they are sure there is no infection present in Debbie's system. Hopefully this will take place in the next 24 hours or so.
Please pray for rest and pain relief for Debbie. She is being constantly medicated for the pain and nausea, 24/7, and even with that she still experiences periods of severe pain.
Pray for Jerry especially. The situation is difficult in and of itself, but being in the hospital for most of every day weighs on one's spirit. Also pray for the younger children, William, Jeremiah and Mercy. This has probably been the most difficult period of days for the entire family, and it is especially difficult on the kids who are still living at home.
The situation is grave, but our family has faith in the Lord's plan for Debbie and for each of us. Please pray that His plan would be revealed to Jerry and each of us as many decisions are being made that do not have clear right or wrong answers.
Thanks,
Josh Wells
