This morning was the first morning I was really able to speak at length with the doctors since last week this time. I discovered that my hopes for the radiation are misplaced. The therapy is unlikely to allow her to regain her leg feeling and functionality. Nor her bowels or bladder.
The intent is solely to relieve her pain.
She cannot do chemotherapy at this point. Her body is failing her, and the chemo would be too much. It'd kill her faster than the cancer. I'd held off writing this for some time. But I can't get around the latest news.
She is relentless in her spirit. Faithful fighter. Never giving up.
She inspires me.
I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone for the kind notes, the prayers and thoughts, and for being part of the 'team.'
Most of all I'd like to thank Alison for being my wife, walking through this life with me, showing me the meaning of love, and grace, and fidelity. Miracles are in God's hands, and so is Alison. One of my biggest revelations in this tragedy is that Alison is not mine. She is the Lord's. I am happy to have had her in my life. I am changed forever.
Thank you, Alison.
