This has been a horrible week. I just wanted to let you girls know what's been going on because prayer is needed. A woman whose kids I have babysat for for years is dying of cancer. She's an incredible woman and has been an amazing friend to me.
Last week she went into the hospital and the doctors changed their prognosis of a possible two years left to live to three to four months. She's in substantial pain and is heavily medicated to the point that she can't be alone. Her husband asked me to be at their house to sit with her and take care of whatever needs taking care of.
This past Friday, she went very quickly downhill. I was at the house with her all day and it was horrible. The nurses came in to see her and basically told her husband that she probably has a week or two left, if that. One of the nurses said it could be days. I sat with him and one of their daughters as the hospice care nurses came and told them what it would be like when she died and what needs to be done.
It's awful. I'm at such a loss. I (and they) would really appreciate your prayers.
Sorry to have this be such a downer. All that to say - NONE OF YOU GET CANCER. EVER.
Love you girls.

I am sure I can speak on behalf of everyone when I say that we will defiantly be saying prayers for her family and for you.
we love you.
Jen--how is she doing?
Not well. They believe it will be any day/minute. Thanks for asking. I'll keep you posted.
