Just Dalaynee...
Here's just a few recent photos of our beautiful daughter I wanted to share...
The sleeping bag I spoke about earlier was even better on top of her bed!!!!
Being kookie for the camera!
She and her girls!!!!
Tuckered out after an end of the Preschool year carnival...painted cheek and all!!!
Dancing and singing in one of our last winter rains...very little rain...in the last 2 photos she's doing the hokey pokey!
Sunday morning before Jeff's last time at church! He told her he loved her and her mother...I teared up and took a picture!
Our neighbor bought this doll because she thought it looked like Dalaynee...she has been given the name of Lucy.
She came to me one night and said "Mom, I think I'm sick...I have all these red dots all over!" Thankfully it was washable marker!
Just thought I'd share some of the up times in our household as well...Blessings to all of you!!!!

Hospice
The hospice we are using is called "Alpenglow - The perfect light at the end of the day" I found out that Alpenglow is the purple that is sometimes seen in the sky just before sun set or sun rise...lighting that is very coveted by photographers.
I've met with the RN and am very pleased...she is super kind and seems to know what she is doing...she was impressed with Dalaynee and the questions she had about Jeff...she will come here 2 times a week. Also I've met with the Home Health Care Aid, I really liked her too...she will be here 3 times a week to help with bathing, shaving, feeding or whatever I need so I get a break. And today I met with the Social Worker, again I am very pleased...she will be here next week again...she will help me with funeral arrangements, therapy for Dalaynee if necessary and various other things having to do with death. Alpenglow also provides volunteers to step in if I have to run errands etc... So far, I have been very blessed to have Andrew & Zack (my step sons) provide me much time away from the house to do whatever. It's proven to be good for Jeff, who sleeps most of the day to see very familiar faces if he does decide to get up!!
I am real good at coming off strong...but I have major melt downs when I let myself. It's just so hard to believe that Jeff is dying! But, my hope and comfort is that God has a plan..at least there is some reason for this!
Please just continue to pray for strength for us and comfort and peace for Jeff.
Thank you! May God shine on you today!

Lord Have Mercy!
Some of you already heard, but the results of Jeff's MRI on Tuesday were not good. His tumor has not been affected by the treatments and has grown again...the doctor told us there is really no other treatment they can offer...when I asked the doctor how long Jeff had he estimated 2 months.
I expected bad news because Jeff has been getting more confused in the last week or so, but when they tell you point blank like that it is numbing!!!
The doctor has referred us to a hospice in our area, they will come to our house and do an assessment and then decide how often they need to send someone to take care of him, so that is our next step. Thankfully Jeff is in no pain and he shouldn't have much except headaches once in awhile.
Please pray for Andrew, Zack & Dalaynee, they are all having an understandably tough time with this (and also me). Pray for wisdom for me in decisions that will have to be made in the next couple of months, Pray for God's comfort and peace for all of us.
Thank you for walking with our family through this journey for the last year...please continue to keep us lifted up throughout the next year.
Blessing to all of you!

God is with us!!!
We received an answer to our prayers for direction today...my last unemployment check came in the mail and with it was a note that read..."You have received all the benefits payable on your claim. If still unemployed, you may file a new claim by calling your Unemployment office or visiting our web site." Thank you Lord...reapplying seems to be the easiest solution at this time.
Also, on Thursday of last week we went to LA for Jeff's 4th treatment and after getting his blood work back they sent us home because his white count was too low. They gave us a prescription for an antibiotic and told us to get blood work done near home on Monday and then maybe come back on Tuesday for treatment. We went to Long Beach Memorial outpatient lab and I received a call from LA on Tuesday morn that his white count was good but the only appointment available on that day was 8pm...his treatment would take from 1-3 hrs...I didn't want to be driving home from LA after 9pm...so we went on Wednesday afternoon. The treatment went fine...Jeff fell asleep as always. Now, we have an appointment for an MRI on Tuesday and and appointment with the Dr. after that for the results. I'm pretty sure that if this treatment doesn't work, we will have to start searching for a clinical trial he may qualify for or there is no next step. Please pray for positive MRI results, peace & mercy.
Thank you!
