KatieB Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Judy just gave me a call and left me a voicemail. I was on a conference call so I missed talking with her When I called her back I spoke with her husband. I let him know how much Judy means to us and that we are all praying for her. Judy wanted to know if she could give my mobile number to her daughter to call me to keep me updated on news of what's happening with her. Of course I told her husband yes. He told me things were looking really bad yesterday so he brought her to the hospital today. Please please keep Judy in your prayers..... My heart is heavy and hurting for our friend. I'll keep you posted if she or her husband or daughter give me a call. Hugs, K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieB Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 I have been so sad all day today. Her husband told me that he thought " this was it"...and when I gasped he quickly said, "but you never know". I am so heartbroken and praying like crazy that Judy comes out of this like she always has.... Much love to her and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dianew Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Katie - thank you for passing this along. As Eric says, it is so hard to accept that events could happen this quickly - although we all know it's possible. I will keep praying and hoping that Judy will be back. The alternative is just too painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet B Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Judy HAS to get through this. We promised we would meet at the Hope Summit. It was a deal. I HATE lung cancer, I hate it. Everyone who believes in prayer, please pray and those that don't, please think WAY positive thoughts. Judy, if you read these, know that you are very very loved by so many. Praying for strength for you and Stan. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaminkw Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I can't believe I'm sitting here at the computer at MDA at midnight. I don't know when I was on last or how many phone calls I have not been able to return. When the nurse woke me to give me meds around 10 pm tonight, I remember saying, I'm so happy. She was a bit shocked given the recent state of my health and asked why was that? I had to say I'm just happy I woke up, no vomiting after an usual amount of my liquid diet and feeling pretty darn ok. I have to be very honest folks. It could last a day, a week a month....We (Stan and I, family and the doctors) have had all the "talks. My digestive system has stopped working and I've been living a hellish kind of life for a couple of weeks now. No further treatments but today I elected for a procedure that has allowed me to eat my liquid diet and keep it down for the first time in ages. Believe me, it is exciting! I had a cathater (sp?) put in that will collect the fluids that have been dumping in my belly. Periodically, I will manually empty it . I have no qualms about it--if this can give me even a little more time with a much improved quality of life, I'm all for it. Up until now, I couldn't come online. I was not only physically debilitated but emotionally devastated. Through many tears I told Dr T that I accepted this was it but I just could not bear the thought of ending like this. She is so sweet and I could feel her pain for me. I swear I don't know what else to say. I'm sitting here feeling so normal. Please, let it last for at least another day, week, etc. I love you all and have missed you so much. I'm on the hospital computer and don't know how long I'll be in the hospital. I don't even have my computer with me in the coach but I'll touch base with you when I can. As for the Summit, until today I couldn't even contemplate it. Tomorrow may confirm I can't make it but who knows. I surely don't because tonight life feels surreal. To all my dear friends, goodnight and "click."

gail p-m Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 So glad to see your post. Although I seldom post, I always read your morning posts on the Air and have admired your strength and determination. Sorry to see what a difficult time you've had but more than thrilled to see that you're feeling 'normal'. Hoping you continue feeling better for weeks, months and more. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband. gail p-m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
