Evidently they can not 100% verify it is Cancer without a biopsy, something that she refuses to do, in addition to NOT getting any treatment but the mass in her lung has grown from 2cm to 8cm in just shy of 4 months.

Patty's Mom is NOT doing well. She is having hallucinations. Once she got up at about 3am thinking an aid at the nursing home had came to get her to go smoke. The aid in question had left at 11pm. She is having trouble keeping food down sometimes and has been spitting up blood a few times. She is 82 and says she has lived a long life and is tired.

Please pray for Her and especially Patty.

Thank you dogs.

Prayers sent Randy.

So sorry to hear that, she will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Same here Randy.

Thank you guys. Patty is taking it pretty hard.

So sorry to hear that, Randy. Prayers sent.

Randy,
Sorry to learn of your MIL’s condition.

We’ll be praying for your family.

Thank you guys. This is one of the things that makes this such a wonderful place. Folks we don't even know (well not really) giving us encouragement and well wishes, prayers, and we KNOW it is not just lip service.

Found out today that the MIL has been accepted into Hospice care. And based on their "interview" they are guessing about 2 months, but that they can't of course tell for sure, but based upon their work and the amount of folks they have cared for they think their estimate will be pretty close.

Shirley Has lived a hard 82 years so far. Her and Glendale (Glen) had 4 kids, three girls and one son. Her oldest daughter died back in 2000 of colon cancer and her Husband died in 2008 from not taking care of his Diabetes and predominately a bleeding ulcer.

It's been rough on Patty and she and her mother have gotten closer these past couple of years. Patty is a timid soul and has a heart as big as all outdoors.

Randy, I'm so sorry for the trial you and Patty are embarking on. It's so incredibly hard to live through. Prayers sent, for you, Patty, and her mother. It sounds like Mom is ready to go. I don't grudge her that. After 82 years she's earned her freedom. It doesn't make it any easier on Patty or you though. My heart is breaking for you both. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank You Joshua. It really means a lot.

Today at 0943 the Mother In Law passed. She only struggled for a couple hours with VERY labored breathing. Every time she breathed the whole bed would shake. Weirdest thing I have seen. Then that stopped and she started shallowly smooth breathing. The Hospice nurse said that Patty and I needed to "Call the family". We did then I went down the hallway and told "The Girls" that if they wanted to say goodby to Shirley they should go on down to her room. EVERYONE there (except for two working with patients) headed down.

Once every one was there the head or nursing said for Patty to Pray, and she did. Within seconds after Patty finished the prayer Shirley's eyes came open and she stopped breathing.

Now for the part I am not sure I understand. Shirley had Cataracts and couldn't see very well. When she opened her eyes, she was looking up about the wall/ceiling juncture and her eyes were crystal clear! PLUS they were the prettiest shade of a paler blue you have ever seen. She had dark brown eyes.

Patty is doing well, at least for now, but Please pray for her as she IS a gentle soul.

Thanks Guys

Randy

So sorry to hear this. You are all in my prayers.

Same here Randy; hang tough, as Patty will really need you.

Prayers for y’all

Sorry to hear Randy but glad you guys had hospice. Regards to Patty

Thank you all so very much. Patty is still amazed at the outpouring of sympathy and well wishes that comes from Y'all on this site. You guys mean a lot to me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the hours of enjoyment you have given me.

Well today was the day. My Mother-In-Law was buried today and it was a really nice service. Everything went off without a hitch and the Evil sister in law didn't act up ACTUALLY, but she did show out as in taking some things that were earmarked for other family members, but thankfully neither Patty or her brother Jerrell wanted to raise a stink on this Sad but Happy day. She'll get hers some day.

I said some prayers to help Patty cope and hope everything goes well.

Sorry to hear about your mother in law Randy, prayers sent for you and your family.

Thank You Ray, and thank you as well BC.

My condolences to you, Patty, and your family.

Thank You Ted. How are YOU doing?

I'm sorry Randy. That is not an easy thing to deal with. My mom had labored breathing for what seemed like an eternity. It's hard to listen to. Prayers sent for you, Patty, the siblings...and even the evil sis-in-law.

Thank You Joshua. I didn't tell Y'all this, but the Evil S-I-L called Patty out into the hallway the day before her Mom died and Cussed her out over nothing more than a friend of Patty's was going to sing a Song Shirley wanted that was sung at her Cousins Funeral. Needless to say, Shirley didn't get her wish as Brandon didn't want to cause a scene. He truly cared for Shirley. He would go over there almost daily and take her out to smoke.
