    Some Bad News Today

    Hi fellow abbers, this is day 5 AF for me, and I am just as committed to this as ever - but feeling pretty down, had some bad news today. My brother in law who is dying at 44 of stomach cancer, has reached the point where he is no longer able to eat (even though he really wants to) because the tumors in his stomach and intestines have blocked him off, so there is no where for the food to & he just throws it back up. They tried putting in a tube today, but the stomach can no longer contract enough to push the food through it. So he will spend what time he has left not even able to take a sip of water. Sometimes life sucks.

    Those of you with faith, please say a prayer for him.
    Thanks.

    Of course, I will say a prayer, Hannah. What is his first name? I always feel more connected when I have a name.

    Meanwhile, I am so sorry that your brother in law is suffering. Does he have an IV? Having an IV can really help with not feeling too horribly thirsty or hungry. I am praying for both his physical and emotional comfort.

    Take care,:l

          Thanks, Young at Heart, Thanks Determinator. His name is Guerrino, pronounced
          Grrrr- e - no (It's an Italian name). He is typically italian in that family is everything to him. and loves big family gatherings with lots of good food. He leaves behind my younger sister (also 44) and three teenagers. Thanks for your prayers and your caring, you are the best.
