I’m going to have to take a couple of days off from deal posting due to a serious downturn in my father-in-law’s condition. I took him to the ER this afternoon due to some sudden memory issues he was having, along with problems he’d developed in the 3 days since his release from the hospital (barely able to move feet, slurred speech, hand tremors, etc.). They found that he has bleeding in the brain and they want to stabilize him enough to do further testing for the cause, but they suspect that his cancer (which started as prostate, then moved to the lungs, then to the spine) has moved on to his brain.
His condition is very serious — he may not make it through the night. If he does, he still may not make it.
Dmitry is graciously giving me a little time off to deal with this. I hope you understand.

Family comes first. We will still be here when you get back.
Thanks, y’all… your support really means a lot to me.
He made it through the night and is conscious but in pain, which they can’t address with meds because they need him lucid enough to determine the extent of his neurological problems. In addition to the pain, he’s in a rage either from dementia or just plain terror from his condition, insisting he’s being held against his will and wants to go home NOW. (sigh) So hard to see him like this and I feel SO helpless.
Love and thanks to all,
-Becky

Thanks so much for the show of love and support from my QR family!
His pain is being controlled by meds but there is bleeding in the brain that they feel is being caused by a tumor and they want to operate to relieve the pressure. However, they ran some labwork this morning that shows extremely elevated liver enzymes and they’re now concerned that he has tumors in his liver as well… which, if true, I think would make brain surgery pretty senseless.
He’s still stubbornly insisting he can beat this thing — denial — but the family knows what this means. Have already made a call to hospice but I have doubts that he’ll make it there before his body starts shutting down.
Family struggling with helplessness, anger (some of them angry at God but I’m much more at peace that this is His will), frustration, etc. Thank you for your continued prayers. (((hugs)))
I read your new post today Becky and I just wanted to continue delivering my full support to you. I very sorry and will continue to pray for your family.
With much love,
