Ilse,
Prayers for you and your hubby, what a strong fight Pete has given and I hope he pulls thru and If not, 8.5 yrs is a very long time to fight this nasty cancer. You never know what God can do, so please stay strong.

Dear Ilse,
I am so sorry to hear that Pete is having such a rough time with ecerything, but glad that he is where he needs to be. I hope that you both and find time with some comfort and be there with each other, and mostly the team of drs. and nurses. Also that you get much needed rest. I know that when the time comes that my dear Wayne needs nursing care, I probably won't be such a good nurse either. I get all nervous when I know things are very serious and afraid I would do the wrong thing.I pray they can keep Pete comfortable. Take care of yourself also and try and rest when you can.

Oh Ilse I'm so sorry your going through this. I need to stop being so self absorbed in my stuff and should have known this, I'm sorry for not seeing it on FB and not being on here enough.

You have been such a blessing to your DH Pete, you wouldn't have been better if you were a nurse. Being a nurse only means you know more and can do less than a nurse and making decisions can be more difficult. At this time pain control is the issue and often the pain control needed cannot be given in the home (I've discussed this with my family). Be with him as much as you can, but take some breaks for yourself. Have someone else come and sit with him if you feel guilty leaving him alone. He's put up such a long courageous battle.

I pray for no pain for Pete and no fear to be with the Lord. I pray for strength for you to go through this with your husband, and to know you'll be reunited in God's kingdom some day. Pete will go ahead and get your house all organized for you:) Your in my prayers and in my heart.

Prayers, hugs and love.

Thanks to every one of you here! Peter is not doing so well! Had a fall at 3:00 am this morning because het wanted to go to the bathroom, and with all the fluids they give him. He can't remember (or don't want to) ring the bell for help. Now he is going for x-rays tomorrow morning. He was without any pain at this late stage, now he has pain. I am actually upset. I am not in denial. But I don't like to see him in pain. I called the nurses twice because the pain medicine doesn't work. I have to give him water through a syringe, and jelly and custard. His creatinine was 169 on Tuesday, and was 183 on Friday. He asked me this morning how did he get there, who booked him in. I asked if he remembers how sick he was last weekend, and if he remembers the bowel obstruction etc. No, he doesn't remember anything. But he still knows who we are. But he sleeps a lot. They are giving him decadron, some cocktail of panado and mycostatin for the eusophagus, because he can't swallow. I also saw Pantocid , maxolon etc. etc.. Tonight before I left, I called the sister on duty in the room, and asked them to wake him and ask if he wants to pp. He will say yes if he wants to, otherwise they are in for cleaning beds tonight. His HB is 9,3, he gets oxygen and that comforts him. But he couldnt eat or drink of the sores in his mouth and throat. I don't know what tomorrow holds! But, we had so much grace and peace for the last 8,5 years, and we had time to prepare. I don't want to see him suffer like this. He was always a very proud person - and very independant. Now everybody else must do everything for him. I am off te bed. It is 9:15 here now. I need some sleep, and to get up early tomorrow morning again. Love to you all!
After 8,5 years living with CRC, Pete passed away on 17/4/2012. We had lots of quality time, we said our goodbyes! I am at peace because he doesn't suffer anymore! He is now better off with the Lord! We will surely miss him very very much!!
