i have someone to blame and blame i will

seeing a once vibrant laughing active woman reduced to a slump in a wheelchair is hard to take. especially since it hasn't even been two months since they first told her the cancer had spread to her spine and spinal fluid. 2 months ago she was driving goin' and doin' within a few days...i'm talkin' days here....she couldn't walk. now she cant even hold on to david as he picks her up to put her in bed. he can't do it by himself anymore. she had 10 rounds of radiation head to back and thank the Lord the pain is gone. don't know for how long. sad sad sad.

see i blame and this is the hill i will die on..the eye cancer doctor specialist in memphis. back in the summer her bad eye was hurting her so badly. this is the reason why she wanted the eye taken out. i beleive that that pain was cancer. i believe that the doctor didn't do his job. after the eye was taken out she was still in pain. we go back for a check up and he suddenly begins studying her chart. i thought that strange. then we go to the hotel and he calls her and wants her to get a sonogram done immediately when she gets back to s'port. and why didn't he want her getting one while she was there under his care...hmmmm i wonder is it because he didn't want to be faced with the truth? that the cancer is back and he missed it and now its spreading like freakin' wild fire in her body and he knows whats gonna happen? i begged her and brian to have it done while we were in memphis but that didn't happen. she gets back and gets a call that she has missed her radiation treatment. radiation treatment, where the heck did that come from. well, the memphis doctor says he told us while we were there that the cancer was back. excuse me! dont you think we would remember if someone says the cancer has come back a 3rd time in your eye. HELLO dumb dumb dummy head. sue asked brian, "did he tell us the cancer had come back?" ummmm NO. we were all there in the room. she didn't ever meet alone w/ him we were always present. sue couldn't get him to call her back or respond to her at all. sounds kinda fishy to me.

so that was back in october. so the evil cancer has been eating away at her bit by bit for the past 4 months before it was found in her spine.

you know what i want to do. i want to take a picture of sue who sorta kinda looks like herself and send it to him and say...this is what you did. you could have prevented this. he should be held responsible.

she knew there was a possibility that if the eye was taken out cancer could spread. but she was reassured it was ALL gone. we were there we heard him. and last i checked i could hear real good. real real good. so good that when ryder even takes a deep breathe in the next room i can hear him. i got mommy hearing!

so here we are. hospice has been called. not good. one doctore gave her 2 months. that was 7 weeks ago.

I am so sorry. There are no words. You are in our prayers daily.

I'm so sorry about your M-I-L. I'll be praying for you and your family in the days to come.

This just confirms my opinion that medicine is basically a guessing game. I have SOOOO very little faith in doctors, after having two severely ill loved ones sent home from the ER after being told 'there's nothing wrong...' Thankfully I didn't take their word for it either time.

But the good news is we DO know a Great Physician who will see us through all of this....and one of these days there will be no more pain, sickness, or sorrow...praise the Lord!

Doctors are so very human and do unfortunately miss so much. We do know that God is always in control no matter what. So let God have it and enjoy what time you have. Smile a lot with Sue. I am calling today to see what can be done about the food ministry in the area so there will be plenty but they will not be overwhelmed with no where to store the food. Just know that we are thinking of all of you and love you.
Love,

I cry with you and for you all. I love you and pray for your strength during these times--strength that can come only from the Lord. Thank goodness that we know the Lord and can call upon Him anytime for anything and He is always here!
