This morning...the doctors tell me that Lyle is coming home tomorrow. His lungs have cleared up, his stomach is working in low doses of continuous feeding, and his blood is looking good. Hospice and my parents are stepping in to make the transition as smooth as possible for us. Our goal is to get Lyle stronger and then re-evaluate future treatments. Thank you for your prayers and support! I know God's timing is everything and I will be able to face whatever comes my way...but that looming blood clot still weighs heavy on my mind. Please join us in praying for added strength for Lyle each day and that we will be able to get back to fighting this cancer and winning!!!!

    Jim and I will be praying
    Jim and I will be praying for you and Lyle. Susie, it is so hard to watch our strong hubbys deal with this horrible disease. It's great that you have your parents there not only for Lyle but for you too. We have a similar situation with my parents, they have been wonderful.
    Many, many prayers coming your way...

    Susie I will be praying for
    Susie I will be praying for you and if you ever need to talk let me know - I have unlimited long distance so i would be happy to chat. By the way they finally operated on dad to get his stent out and put in the J-tube. hopefully now he can get some nutrition and start to regain his strength..

    Keep the faith I am sure that Lyle will gain his strength back soon.

    lots of love and prayers for you and Lyle

    Oh Cindy!!
    I'm so glad that your dad got the surgery done!! He will be feeling better in no time!! They talked about a Jtube for Lyle but felt he is too weak for another procedure. So...we are making the best of what we have!

    Lots of love and prayers to you, too,
    Susie

    We will be sending our prayers
    Susie,

    We will be praying that Lyle continues to improve. Hopefully the blood clot will resolve itself and Lyle can regain enough strength to support the j-tube placement. Then once he gets better nourishment the family came make a decision about what is next in terms of the journey.

    Please be sure to take care of yourself. Lyle needs a strong healthy Susie more than ever now!!

    Best Regards,

    may the love from this site help you & Lyle through...
    Susie,

    Even though you are so worried about Lyle (and have reason to be)---you still are so positive & cheery. Now I know that the cheery side doesn't always come out---but the fact that you find it somewhere in your being (when you need to) is really commendable! Lyle will need his cheery Susie--but also will need the other,vulnerable side as well at times. You still remind me of my aunt Susie--who is actually only 10 years older than me. She has been through alot---but just posted on facebook that she doesn't get as upset anymore---just knowing that it is not "her", but "Him" who is in control....

    Gradually, I pray that Lyle can gain some strength and enjoy your company & love--maybe a slow dance step or ....

    much love from csn
    Kim
