Latest Developments

Several people have asked how my sister is doing. In an earlier post, I explained how hospice was called in for her 3 months ago. She was given 2 months to live. Obviously, she has exceeded that time frame. I haven't updated everyone on the latest developments with Jeannie, because I really didn't think I could explain the situation accurately. Jeannie's health is not improving. However, she has been removed from hospice care, because the doctor decided she was no longer dying and could live with the disease she has. I'm not going to try to explain his thinking on this. She now finds herself at the mercy of the medical community, somewhere she never wanted to be ever again. She will be the guinea pig, while doctors try to figure out what to do with her. She had mentally prepared herself that it was time to go Home, but doctors want to rewrite the way this story ends. They are in favor of "helping" her continue to "live" here on earth. I am heartbroken that she has to endure more pain and suffering. But while her family and friends are distressed about this situation, Jeannie is absolutely devastated.

I know you have questions, and I do, too. But unfortunately, there just aren't any good answers. Instead, we wait. We cry out for mercy. And though it is so very hard, we trust that God is in control and working in a time frame that makes sense to only Him right now. Jeannie and our entire family are so very grateful for all of your prayers and words of encouragement. We humbly ask that you continue to lift our family up in prayer. Much love to you all.
