Update - October 18, 2009

Joe here - Just wanted everyone to know that Lynn has decided to end chemo. She's gone beyond curative efforts and has moved to hospice care, in our home. The doctors and nurses of the hospice team are trying to manage her pain and provide some quality of life in her remaining time. We do not have any idea how much time that is, but the target is to enjoy Christmas with the kids.

She's been in excruciating pain these past few days, even got an ambulance trip to the ER a couple of nights ago. No more hospitals. No more tests or invasive treatment. We pray that the pain is managed soon and that she is able to enjoy some good days with friends and family.

Her Mom is here, and her brother arrives on Tuesday.

From me, thank you for all of the support - prayers, love, financial, and otherwise. No amount of thanks is enough to express my astonishment at how wonderful human beings can actually be.
