Update on Chemosmoker

Michelle posted the following on facebook and asked that it be shared with everyone here. Apparently the internet access and the CSN site are challenging these days for them. I know it has been for me as well. Often I can't get on and the pages take forever to load. Please keep them in your prayers and thoughts. Love to all - Cindy

An update on Eric (chemosmoker). He is struggling day to day right now. He is retaining a lot of water and now his anemia is becoming problematic. They want to do an infusion and he is unwilling to allow them to admit him for the procedure. He is weak and sleeps a lot! It is rough on both of us, and I can only pray that things don't get too much harder for him. He is wheelchair bound if he choses to go anywhere, though the choice by him to engage in any activity outside home has become few and far between. We need prayers for a smooth transition for Eric. Things are as comfortable as they can be for him and I would love for it to remain that way. For any of you still communicating on CSN please feel free to update all on there. I just don't have the time to sit and wait on the board for the pages to load. ♥ Hugs to all!

Michelle

    For getting us this news about Eric. Michelle, I know you are both in a hard place, but know that I have thought about you both everyday. All of us stage IV's are going to travel in Eric's shoes at some point. My heart goes out to you both and you are remembered in my prayers daily. Give Eric a hug from me, Sam

    Cindy,
    I am sure I speak for

    Cindy,

    I am sure I speak for everyone here on the board - Please send my best to Eric and Michelle as they travel the last of this journey. It is heartwrenching to say the least, but I feel good knowing that both of them have left nothing usaid between the two of them and that he will be welcomed lovingly by God.

    Please pass that on if possible.

    Thank you

    Thanks for sharing, Cindy
    I know I experience frustration with CSN as the pages take their time to decide to load or fail. I've got more time available in my day to wait - can't imagine that Michelle has too much extra time :)

    Eric & Michelle,

    Love & Hugs to you both! Thank you so much for the update. You are both in our thoughts always. I pray for many good days for you both.
