2009
the first day of 2009 started off pretty decent...then came the rose bowl :[
even tim followed the same pattern...pretty decent in the early hours and pretty rough in the late hours. i wish i could somehow explain what living in this house has been like the past few days...we have our highs and we have our lows.
tim is having periods of mild to moderate pain and then he is having periods of moderate to high pain. friday he is scheduled for radiation at 8:30am followed by the insertion of a PICC LINE (a temporary central line site so that when he is ready for hospice they can put him on a pain pump).
hospice has come in and we met and chatted...kinda weird. we decided that he is not quite ready for round the clock hospice but we are certainly getting closer to that time every day. once we get the line in on friday they can be in and be set up in no time with just a phone call.
he is starting to eat less and less. he is starting to drink less and less. he is starting to take more pain medication. more tumors are rapidly growing. i believe that things are going to get intense.
i will update with any changes as they occur.
thanks for checking in

Tammy,
We are praying for all of you. With Tim not sleeping well, I am sure you are exhausted. We could see Tim was in more pain today. There are so many people praying for your family. We really do appreciate the blog updates (which I am sure are getting harder and harder for you). It was nice to see your parents. You are blessed to have such a wonderful family. We love you all and praying for you!

The Lord is our strength......

Hi Tim and Tammy, I remember the Christmas the this all started, the kids were over at our house, we think for some time.. we are constantly amazed by your faith and strength as a family.. we have never stopped praying for you..and will continue to pray for you as you go forward..Joanna,Bill, Claire and Margaret.
It's rainy, cold and dreary here in "sunny" California. And yet, I am comforted---and warmed---as I read the blog and the comments. I am SO proud of you all. I'm often boosted up in my sometimes drooping faith when I check in.
I pray "Surely, Lord, You will heal this man and many people will come to You because of the miracle!" And then I remember that our loving Father is already---and has continually---used this precious family to witness to many how our God loves and saves!
I wish that I could drop by for a visit and a few hugs, but they will have to be "virtual" for now.

Saints,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. No words can express what it means to have you share what most can't face... keeping the faith, having hope, and sharing love. It is an honor knowing you. Thank you..love from NC
