Your Prayers Please.....

Normally I like to joke and be funny, but this post is more serious.  Mom had her fifth round of chemo last Thursday and she's not doing well.  It really is finally affecting her ability to enjoy her days.  For those who know about chemo, it can cripple you.  It harms bone and nerve function.  If it gets too bad, they discontinue the chemo.  Well, Mom's there.  She is having problems with pain and with functionality of her nervous and skeletal system.  She has to decide before her visit to the doctor next Tuesday whether she will finish her last treatment.  If she does, she will be on Avistan the rest of her life; she'll be in the study and it will pay her medical expenses.  If she discontinues, her medical bills will not be covered as well.  She has to make a decision about the quality of her life.  Because of this, we are having a family/friend fast this weekend.  It will be a difficult decision.  She's received a priesthood blessing, we've put her name on the prayer rolls of the temples and now we ask, if you are able, that you join us in our fast.  This is an important decision.  Thank you.
Lora is with Mom and Dad now, so they have additional help.  Rick's the rock that's always there and we're glad.
We appreciate those of you who follow the blog and are interested in Mom's health.  You mean the world to us.  Thank you.
