With this post, I'll be signing off AFF awhile. Mrs. OneAccord is not doing well. Going to be going to Huntsville today. Pray with me that it's not a one way trip for her. Radiation has had no affect on the brain tumor. In fact, its much larger. We appreciate your prayers.
Like St.Mark for some reason I did not see this thread until now. I am so sorry to hear that things are not going well.
I am praying right now and I promise you I will continue to pray for your wife and all of your family. I can't even imagine what you two are going through right now. I wish I had some magical words to say to make things better but they don't exist. I do, however, know that God will be with you and the Holy Ghost will strengthen you.
There is no understanding these things. When good people suffer it is just unanswerable. Somehow we just have to trust God, ask for his strength, and understand that heaven holds all the answers that time will never tell (my favorite line from an old song my wife used to sing in church).
Brother please know that as another day has come upon us you have not left our prayers. You have friends here who care.. sincerely and we are praying!!
First, thank you all for your prayers. Even those who didn't leave a reply. I know in my heart you are praying.
We're back home. Came back last night. She can go at anytime. The tumor is inoperable... chemo might help some, but, the Dr. says we have to decide by Thursday to:
1) Stop chemo and let her go.
or
2) Begin a higher dose of chemo that will prolong her suffering and will yeild the same results. Death. Her life may be extended... but, well, it won't be a life...it'll be an existence. Barely.
I need to know what to do. I don't know. She headaches are getting worse. She is almost completely immobilized. The Lord seems to be speaking this to my spirit: Phl 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Is He giving us the answer? Just, pray that we will make the decision that pleases the Lord whom we trust.
We found out recently that we will be grandparents again. Found out yesterday that we will have a granddaughter this May. Also found out that, unless the Lord moves, Lola will never see the baby. He is good. His wisdom...His grace... His will is what we rely on and trust.

Oh this is breaking my heart. Will pray that God will give his answer and that you follow his will, and that her suffering is relieved.

1A, I continue to pray. There's nothing anyone can say to make it less painful to go through this. I know it's comforting to know that your wife is ready to see Jesus. But that doesn't make it easy for you to watch her suffer, nor will it make you miss her less. All we can do is surround you with our love and prayers, which we are doing.
