This is by far the hardest post I've had to write for Sharon so please bear with me.
Sharon didn't get to start her first radiotherapy on Friday. During the journey to London, she became quite unwell and the last part of the journey was a mad dash to the hospital whom I'd phoned ahead.
An emergency scan of her head showed a rapid progression of the cancer in her brain.
She was transferred by ambulance to another hospital in the London area where we have been since Friday night. Unfortunately, during that time, she has deteriorated quite quickly and is unable to respond/communicate. The first day or so, she was quite agitated during the times she was not asleep and was difficult to witness and deal with. The medical staff here have increased sedation to the point where she is now much more relaxed and calm and God-willing out of pain. She remains unconscious though and efforts are on pain relief and getting her comfortable.
Our family have travelled over from Cork and I'm indebted to them for Sharon's sake and also my own. This is an incredibly tough time and I would ask you to continue to pray for Sharon and her loved ones (especially those who are still separated by the miles).

ReplyDeleteIsaiah 40:29-31
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.Even youths grow tired and weary,and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
