Hubby is not doing well. long post

Alley, I am so glad the Dr. is not giving up.
He is right.....if you give up, he has to as well since he could not justify going on with any other treatment.
And I agree with everyone else here, it's not good for you to keep everything held inside..........take a breather for 30 minutes and cry or scream or whatever you feel like doing.
Still praying for you and not giving up.

There is one more thing...I can look back on my time of going through all that, and in a way it was a very bonding experience, and something that I want to remember fondly. My kids were young, too, not as young as yours, but they were so supportive and I had one friend in particular who called EVERY DAY to see how things were..our church was a huge help too and I don't know what your beliefs are but if you go to church, use it, that's one reason the church is there. Ours prayed for us, made sure we had food, and the pastor visited my DH in the hospital, which he remembered, even though he was really out of it. If you live in a small community ask for help there, too..they will, or your co-workers at work, or wherever...our community is very good about supporting each other. Don't be afraid to ask for as much help as you can. And get on line and start looking for that better doctor.

Alley, what a horrible predicament you're in. Do you have any support there for YOU? I know that your in-laws are good people, but they're in so much pain, themselves. Can you ask the nurses if you can speak to the hospital social worker? (All hospitals have social workers on staff.)

Oh Alley, I'm glad the doctor isn't ready to give up. You won't have to fight that battle with him.

Stay strong! I know that the relatives descending will be hard (went threw that with both of my in-laws when they were passing-only it was their own kids that wouldn't make time to see them before.) but you can do it. If you need to get away from them then go and find that private place and let it out-don't bottle it in.

I'll keep the prayers coming!

The hospital probably has a chapel and possibly a chaplain that could minister to you. At least the chapel would be quiet and somewhere you could be alone to think. God bless you.

Isaiah 53-5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.


Isaiah 41-10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.


Isaiah 43- 2When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

3For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour:


i just felt like you needed these verses.May God bless you and your family

Alice,
Give Davy to the Lord, let him take care of everything. There are so many times we pray for our needs and are ready to give up when things don't happen fast enough for us and yet at the very moment we would throw our hands in the air and say "I give up" there is a miracle.


We really could use a nurses name to sent cards "in care of" for you and your family.

Still Praying for all of you!
Cindy
