Update on Alyson.

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

Update on Alyson.

Post by orvet »

I have not posted any updates recently on Alyson's condition because there has not been a lot happening until now. They stopped her chemo so she could have her teeth pulled as the chemo had made them loose.
They should be starting the chemo soon again, but she has been so weakened from the chemo that she has trouble getting in and out of bed.
I have to help her in and out of bed and to the bathroom. I am hoping to get a hold of the doctor this week to see what they want to do next.
We are about to the point that she needs in home nursing care, as she does not wish to go to a nursing home. I guess my cooking is as bad as I thought. LOL
Please continue to pray for healing for Alyson and for strength for me.
We appreciate all your prayers!

Dale this update was very timely as our Sunday School was asking about Alyson this morning. They are all very faithful to pray for you and Alyson and are very concerned when I don't give them a update every month or so. Hang tough brother and hopeful you can get some in home help.
We're all praying, God bless you.

Thank you guys for the prayers! ::tu::
Alyson was admitted into the Hospital today
for dehydration and testing. They will probably keep her for one or two days. They're going to do a CT scan and an MRI.

Dale I haven't been online all day and I just now saw this. It's my bedtime but I will say a specific prayer for Alyson before
going to bed. God bless you brother.

Good news! The MRI of Alyson's brain was negative for any signs of stroke or cancer in her brain. Praise the Lord!
From what I got from the oncologist's nurse today, she will probably be in the hospital for a couple more days and then they want to move her to a rehab facility and do physical therapy on her to build up her strength before coming home.

That is good news, Dale! That she has the option to come home at some point following rehab is positive. I will continue to pray for Alyson's continued progress in healing.

Alyson is out of the hospital and into a rehabilitation facility. The plan is to help her build up her strength so she can come home and I could care for her with some in home health aid.
Thanks again for all your prayers.

Alyson isn't able to do the PT at the rehabilitation facility because the pain is too  intense.
She has been having a lot of confusion since having her teeth pulled in mid-June. Yesterday, she had a couple of hours of absolute mental clarity. God is so good! For a couple of hours, I had my beloved wife back! She was very clear, she said,  "I am sorry, I can't do this anymore." We prayed together and cried together then she called her doctor and started the process of going on hospice. 
Today, hospice came and talked to us, and her daughter was here also. Tomorrow, hospice will deliver a hospital bed and other equipment to our house and then they bring her home.
I will update you as I can.
Thank you all for your prayers!
Good bless you all!

Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

You, my good sir, are an inspiration. I don't know either of you, but this brought me to tears. I am so sad for you to be going through this situation, but I'm happy beyond expression that you could have this moment with her. Just reading this makes me appreciate my wife more, and I already love her beyond compare. I can't imagine if I were in a similar situation that I would hold up as well as you are. My thoughts are with you and yours.
