Where Did The Day Go?

I don’t know where the day has gone.  I meant to update the blog this morning…  Byron’s appetite has improved but he is still not eating much.   He still has sustained hiccups and he is very fatigued.  We have signed up for hospice care while he is trying to build his strength.   Hospice offers a lot of services that are useful to us.  We do not have to go out of the house for anything - all appointments, lab draws and doctor's visits happen at home.  All meds are delivered to the house which saves us a lot of time standing in line at the pharmacy.  Also, we were able to get an adjustable bed through hospice which should help Byron if he wants to sit up for a sustained period.  Even though he is on hospice care for now, if he regains his strength, we can go off hospice and he can start treatment.  We are working to get all his meds balanced to stimulate his appetite, reduce his hiccups and for him to get better rest.  Byron’s goal is to be able to get strong enough to get treatment.  He is determined and we support him and are behind him 100% (no matter how tough it might be.)   

Prayer requests: An increased appetite and good rest.. Pray the hiccups stop!

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...
