There has been so much happen in the past two weeks.
Dwayne was admitted to the hospital on October 4th. He was running a fever and had some other things going on. He ended up being there for a week. During that time Dr. Cheng did an MRI. When the results came back they were not good. The chemo was not working this time. There were no more alternatives that his body could have handled.
On Sunday October 12th, he was moved to a board and care home, five minutes away from our house and hospice took over his care.
Yesterday afternoon, Dwayne passed away. Nathan, Jared and I were with him. He is now whole and no longer limited in an body that was failing.
We appreciate all your prayers, love and support as we went through this journey. Even though I am hurting now, I do take comfort in that I know I will see him again, whole and healthy and cancer can't ever touch him.
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, not angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor depth, not any created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
Romans 8:38-39

ReplyDeleteI've walked this road and know first hand the pain at the loss of your beloved and the joy at the thought of him at the feet of His Lord...my prayers will continue.
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa! While I knew the time was coming based on the past couple of weeks, my heart is hurting for you and the boys. Like I commented on a FB post, just Friday morning Jeff and I were reminiscing about fun times with you both as we were driving north past Magic Mtn. So glad he isn't suffering any longer, but sad that he isn't here for you and the boys. Praying for you especially during these next couple of months with the upcoming wedding and holidays approaching. Love, Dawn Eales
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa, we are so so sorry. Our hearts are heavy for you and your boys as we pray God's comfort for you. He is faithful. Hugs, Jan and Randy
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa, I'm sorry for your loss. I thank God, Dwayne took part in molding my life. You and your family are in my Heart, my Thoughts, and my Prayers."While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil."
