Prayers, please

I've written about POM's sister, Survivor Mommy, before, here and here.  Things have not been going as well as we had hoped.  It's a saga too long to relate here except in short form.  Four years ago, she was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer that had metastasized to her liver and lungs.  Multiple surgeries and chemotherapies later, she has been told by her doctors that they have no other options to try. 

She was originally given six months, and four years later, she persists, through her amazing faith, her fighting spirit propelled by her five children, and the prayers of souls around the planet.  A massive seizure at Christmas (due to the brain tumor that has developed) seemed to be the turning point.  Hospice began.  Her family came from parts abroad for a two-week gathering;  a joint-cousin birthday party was held;  the last sibling left last week. 

Tonight she is in a lot of pain.  Her morphine has been increased, and she is receiving full care through the night.  It could be tonight.  Prayers are coveted.

You ladies are awesome and truly encouraging. Thank you for praying for an inconsistent blogger and her family/friends,whose life has only brushed against yours. I appreciate you more than I can properly say.
