Update on Terry: Long Post.

This is a picture of Bill from nine years ago today, the miracle morning. Bill survived pancreatic cancer. We are praying for this same miracle for Terry, only with bladder cancer. With the two chemo treatments, wrecking his body and sending him to the hospital, we need Terry surrounded by prayer and love. The doctors will need a new plan.

I called in reinforcement Thursday, I honestly thought we were loosing him. Kimber came that night. She is a bulldog, smart and just the best patient advocate. Erik and Eden were amazing, we knew Kimber needed to be here. Of course, we always need mom, so Judy is flying in today!!

As of today he is improving but we have a long way to go.

I believe the power prayer got my father-in-law through his multiple myeloma and pancreatic cancer. We had nine beautiful years with him after beating pancreatic cancer. We need more years with Terry. Those of you who know him know how kind, caring, smart and hard working he is. Thank your support.

I am attaching Erik’s post from yesterday.

Yesterday the doctors were considering putting Terry on a ventilator and moving him to the ICU, his body was failing and having trouble responding to care.
I called his good friend to come see him and as his friend left he grabbed Terry’s hand and said I am going to pray over you. As he spoke you could see and feel the bond of brotherhood they had.
This morning Kim and I walked in to his room to see him sitting up and even eating a bit, it has been 7-8 days since he has had anything solid. He was lucid and was enunciating his words it has been 12-13 days since he has been able to do so. I was overwhelmed with happiness ( he was able to FaceTime mom as well)
He does not remember the last two weeks of his situation but the one thing he did remember was his friend praying over him
Thank you to everyone that has considered Terry and please continue to do so; your thoughts and prayers fuel my family as we still have a few more rounds to go in this fight.
