Pray Pray Pray

Well, Happy New Year. Yeah...

So, I need you to pray. Jim's pain has been so bad that he doesn't even want to get out of bed anymore because he can't stand or sit. (except for Christmas while John and Leah was here and he got out of bed to eat, but took so many pain pills that it was rediculous. He didn't want them to know. Sure, Jim.) I called his doctor and unknown to us, she had talked with a Ketamine specialist who is willing to administer a trial dose of this drug to Jim. So, if there is a bed open tomorrow at Magee Hospital in the ICU, they are going to administer this drug. Pray that it helps, and pray for Jim's protection from it. There's a reason they put you in the Intensive Care Unit to administer this drug.

Please pray that it works or something. We are just plain going nuts over here. We are both so grieved in our hearts over what Jim has to bear. Neither of can take much more, but for different reasons of course. I'm fighting depression with everything I can, and Jim's just trying to find some little flicker of hope outside of heaven...you know, not anything big, like a new job or house, or vacation. Something like being able to sit with only a level 6 pain, so that he can eat dinner.

Anyway. If you read this family, can you call the rest of the family, cause I know I haven't been updating and so many won't know, and I just don't have the energy for anything else, so. Thanks.

Hope your New Year is filled with the joy of the Lord, as we hope ours is as well.
