A Setback

After having resolved the ongoing bowel issues yesterday, Byron felt better last night.  At about 8 pm, he started having pain, this time on the right side of his abdomen.   The pain increased in intensity as the night went on.   This morning found us back in the ER where he had more bloodwork done and another CT.  The results of the CT showed that Byron has splenic infarcts in his spleen.  These are often found with pancreatic cancer and are as a result of the pressure of the tumor on his spleen.  This condition is remedied by blood thinners, which Byron is now on.    We are back home and Byron will be resting once he finishes his breakfast.

Update:  Byron rested well for the rest of the day and with pain meds felt much better.  By evening, he was up for dinner, even feeling well enough to request tacos!

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me...

By
  It is with a broken heart I share with you that Byron passed away last evening about 8:45 pm.   His last day was rough on him but when he passed, he was so peaceful.  During the day, we were all with him, his kids, his grand kids, his brothers, some cousins.  We all got to say goodbye and for that we will all be forever grateful.  He was surrounded with love and bathed in prayer.   The support our family has received, the prayers, the outpouring of love and caring and sharing of memories means so much to each and every one of us. Back in December , Byron sent me an email and attached this poem with the instructions to share it with his kids and grand kids at his passing.  I did that task this morning, but the poem was so beautiful and appropriate, I am sharing it with you all.  I have to believe, even back in December, God was not only preparing Byron, but also helping Byron to prepare us... WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME When to...
