Turmoil

Nina is struggling deeply. It is now impossible for her to stand up or walk unassisted. If we let go of her when helping her walk, she falls over. She is constantly drooling and her nose has begun to bleed on occasion. Worst of all, she is having extreme difficulty speaking. Each time she tries to speak, half of what she is trying to say is inaudible. This causes her to panic and cry. She has spent the past 5 days sobbing off and on, asking when she is going to be done with putting the "pokey" (the needle for her port) in her booby and when she is going to be the "same" as she was.

Turmoil does not even begin to explain what we are experiencing. Her suffering is unbearable, yet we must bare it.  Her sadness is devastating, yet we must fight to create happiness for her! Please pray that our strength and hearts be fortified!!

  3. Rosy...no words can begin to describe how devastating this news is. I am beyond crushed to know how Nina is feeling physically and emotionally (tears flowing). I am so very, very sorry. I wish there was something I could do...anyone could do to take this pain away from all of you! ~Yet, all I can do is continue to pray...pray for anything and everything that can be good, better and a blessing to all of you and most of all for sweet Nina. No one should ever have to endure this...

    Love hugs and prayers always!

  4. Thinking of you all everyday--remember you are so loved and our prayers will not cease--if there is any comfort that can be taken from knowing we are storming heaven with our thoughts and prayers...take it...
    Sending you the Lord's strength and grace-
