I heart Leonard
The time has come when all efforts to fight Lisa's cancer have come to end. Despite the pain management treatment she has become progressively weaker and not stronger as my mom and Lisa had hoped. She has virtually no leg strength anymore, and actually had a fall with my mom on Friday night coming back from the bathroom.
I got her on Saturday and saw my sister in a vey weakened state. She no longer wants to get out of bed as it's just too exhausting for her to even consider. The visiting nurse came yesterday and had a difficult time speaking to Lisa as my mom was there and my mom cried the whole time. Barb came again today and was glad to see I was there with Lisa. I have always been the stronger one in the family when dealing with this terrible illness of Lisa's. Bless Barb's heart as I asked how much time is left and Barb did answer. We have days left to be with my beautiful sister, Lisa. Lynelle is here with me today and the two of us are laying in bed with Lisa when she is awake and rubbing her back and her feet. We talk about things we did when we were kids and we talk about the journey she will take when she draws her last breath her on earth. Lisa is very scared and afraid of what's to come, but we have all assured her, her doctor as well that she will be in a better place.
Dr Mullane came today to see her. He actually knelt beside her bed and held her hand while he spoke tp her in a very loving yet direct voice and told her in no way is she giving up. She has done all she could do and she has not failed. Her cancer simply progressed to the point where her life would come to an end. Seeing him there kneeling beside her I thought, who says doctor don't make house visits? And I truly learned the meaning of the term bedside manner. We have always had great faith in Dr Mullane and his decisions in treating Lisa and we know he did all he could. I made sure to tell him that today as he was leaving
Please keep Lisa in your thoughts. If you believe in God ask him to call her to him, where she will be in a better place, a world without fear, pain or CANCER. Keep my family, my mom & dad, my little sister Lynelle and her husband Chris in your thoughts. We have let Lisa's children, Todd and Eric know her time is coming to end and soon, although we cannot say if they will come by to see her. I pray that they will and I pray instead of asking for money they will say what she needs to hear, that they love her, that she was an excellent mother and they will be good after she has gone.
Thanks to all of you who have prayed for Lisa, who have offered love and support to me throughout all of this. Your friendship has been an immense comfort to me in times that have been so difficult.

I hope that Lisa can be as comfortable as possible through this.
