Katie is drinking liquids a little bit now. She's still very, very anxious. She has a bed sore now, which terrifies me because it looks like she will be here much longer than I thought. She also has contractures in her legs. It seems as though her body is using all its energy preserve her heart & lung function.
I struggle with emotions over the whole situation. I want her to go home to the Lord, and I don't want her to suffer. I can only imagine the peace she would have compared to the hell she is facing here. Her starting to drink again almost made me sad because I know her life will be prolonged. Isn't that terrible? I just feel so bad for her and the family. She recently accused her mother of trying to poison her with drugs. My poor Aunt hasn't slept in 7 months. Katie is so afraid of dying alone, she screams for her every time she senses my aunt is falling asleep.
My MIL is doing much better. She had another 5 hour long surgery to close up her intestine, which had a tiny leak, causing infection. She still needs many prayers, but I am happy to see her in a better state. She has been at the hospital 5 weeks now, and seems to be experiencing sundowners a bit here and there. I hope she will be able to go home soon. There were no new visible signs of cancer, praise God.
Thank you for all your prayers. God is faithful, even through the trying times.
