More bad news

I really wish I could have a blog with some good news, but things have been getting worse.

It all started less than a week ago when my mother in law went into the hospital with a headache. Several days later and a 5 hr trip later, we discover the news- she has cancer. Turns out it is Stage IV melanoma. Her prognosis- 2 months to live.

As bad as that news is, things just got worse. After coming home from the hospital, she took a turn for the worse. She was talking that night, the next morning she couldn't move. She had another radiation treatment scheduled and we had to readmit her to the hospital. Prognosis is now 2 weeks at the most.  Blood has gotten into her brain.

She really can't say much. Can murmur yes and no and an occasional "I love you".

My heart hurts so much writing this. I feel so bad for my wife and her step dad and her whole family. It hurts so much to see them hurting. I'm trying to be her rock and it's so difficult in the state I've been in with the recent passing of my uncle. Last few days have felt like a nightmare and not looking up.

If there are any of you that can pray that she leaves this earth as painless, and as much as it pains me to say, as quickly as possible. Her name is Karin (Penny is what her friends know her as).

Please pray for mercy for this family and love the ones in your life.
