K. and her husband adopted their first son from Russia 4 years ago and upon returning home from Vietnam where they adopted their 2nd son, K. was diagnosed with kidney cancer. She had had back pain for many years but didn't realize it was anything serious. Unfortunately it had spread to her bones.
She started treatment immediately and has had some very good days but got extremely sick at the beginning of this week and was hospitalized. Today her husband, via his blog, tells us that her liver has failed, her heart and kidney have mostly failed and not recovered. The kidney doctor said in all his years he has never seen such a strong patient fade so rapidly and he cried.
She is on a respirator and sedated and has no clue how badly she has failed.
Her husband just returned from Vietnam 2 weeks ago with their baby daughter (due to paperwork difficulty, they were not able to bring her home when they were there in August getting their little boy). Luckily she got to meet her, kiss her, and hold her before she was hospitalized.
It doesn't look good.....please pray for all of them. I can't imagine going through this kind of pain and heartache, especially at Christmas. Three precious little kids growing up without their mommy is unimaginable.
I cannot imagine what they are going through. My heart goes out to their family.
