pain


About 2 hours ago Chris started grabbing at her back and screaming a little about pain in her kidney area and her stomach. This is the first time that she has said she hurt and asked for morphine. The hospice nurse has given her a couple of morphine tablets already. She is going through shaking and sweating phases. The nurse also gave me some uncomfortable news that one of the nurse's fears is that since Chris' platelets are so low and she is starting to show signs of bleeding in the stomach that she will projectile all of her blood. That's not the visual you'd like to hear, but I ask that everyone pray that does not occur and that her pain will subside. The nurse also said this is the start of the end, and that she probably has two days tops. My selfish side wants her here as long as possible, but not at the expense of her going through this pain. So I ask that you pray for that, you pray for Haven who kissed her mom and let her know she loved her, and that Chris' fingerprints will continue to reveal themselves over more people's lives in the future.


till the end,
jc

We just wanted you to know that your family is in our prayers, and will continue to be. While we just know you in passing I want you to know how much you and Chris have touched our lives in how you have been so trusting in our Lord. Having lost my first wife years ago I know a little of what you are going through.
Your strength and faith in God has been such an inspiration to me.
I hope that you, Chris, and the kids can be very proud of how you have touched so many people in your walk with the Lord.

Phil and Belinda

The Bible says it best. I came across this today in Deut 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
The Lord's promise to you and Chris will never change. This you can lean on.
In Him...
