In 2007, I began my original website, Sonshine's Haven. In 2007, it was turned into a blog and used to keep family updated on my first husband's fight with liver cancer. He passed away November of 2009. We were married for 34+ wonderful years and this journals some of that grief process I've gone through.
I have since remarried another widower, but Mike is missed dearly, and will always be a big part of my life.
At times, all of us will be called to act as witnesses to the suffering of another. We will be unable to affect the outcome physically. Words will fail us. Prayer will seem futile. And yet, the act of bearing witness to someone else's trials is a sacred sorrow that offers and astounding glimpse of eternal joy." by Ginger Garrett

Mike has continued to stay in bed. He got up to take a shower when I got home from church, but he was dizzy and needed to lay back down. He eventually was able to get up and finish showering. His blood pressure is low...97/46 and his pulse was up 111. He is running a temperature around 101. It came down a little when he got out of the shower.
Mike finally ate something after I came home from church. He ate some coffee cake and had some hot tea, I had set out for him this morning on his nightstand. Just a few minutes ago I was able to get him to eat some scrambled eggs and toast. His stomach looks less distended this morning but this fever concerns me. Mike tells me he feels better today but feels very weak. The sores in his mouth and on his lips have improved and are going away.
Mike is being insistent on waiting until Tuesday, to see or call any doctor. I think I'm realizing I can only get him to do so much. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.
