We prayed. We all prayed.

God answered.

At 4 am on Friday morning we rushed Joey to the hospital in Muncie. Her pain had become too much to bare. A few hours later the doctors told us that the pain was from the cancer tumors continuing to grow and become inflamed and we need to concentrate now on helping her be comfortable.

Not the answer we hoped for… but the answer He has given us.

After a series of different medications that didn’t seem to touch the pain – heavy doses of morphine brought Joey sweet relief.

I spent the night in the hospital with her last night. Today we are planning to bring her home.

The last couple of mornings, I’ve brought Indiana up here to spend time with her mama. Both of their eyes light up the moment they see each other.

It’s been beautiful.
