There are no words....

I really don't know what to say...
Janes's condition has deteriorated suddenly in last 24 hours. She can no longer move her legs without severe pain. We had all and sundry here this morning, McMillian, district nurse, carers and two ambulances.
She was in so much pain that the decision was made to go straight to the Hospice. A simple line like that cannot decsribe what we all went through for 4 hours this morning..
She has a compression on the spine which is either the tumor pressing against her spinal column or a tumor eating away at it. Either way, the Dr said 'its serious' and gave her four options, two of which involved hospital and two paluative care only. Jane in a clear and concise voice stated, 'I'm not going back to hospital, please just make me comfortable, I just want the pain to go away !'
She is so brave, I love her so much.
She requested that they manage her pain and then she wants to come home...
I hope there's time for her to get wish.

This time I just can't seem to find the right words to say Martin except that we are all here praying for Jane's recovery. She has been such a tower of strength to so many along her cancer journey. Stay strong Martin and I trust that Jane's pain will be controllable and she will continue to stay strong. May God Bless Jane and all of the family.

Dear Martin,
Thank-you for sharing this with us. In times like this I ask the Holy Spirit to intercede on my behalf in praying for Jane, yourself and family....as I truly do not have the adequate words to say.

Blessings and hugs,
