Ted and Patty –
You are both in my thoughts and prayers. Cherish every moment. I have followed your story for some time. We’re neighbors here in Tampa. My dad went into the hospital nearly the same time as Patty with the same issues. He now has a stomach drain and the TPN but is transitioning to a feeding tube – they did not attempt surgery. His cancer has returned and is blocking his stomach/intestine with just a small space to let very limited fluids through. We’re hoping that he can come home this weekend. God Bless.
KellyTed and Patty,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. May you have many peaceful moments together.

SaraDear ones,
Patty is home now and in the care of Hospice. We are so thankful for them. Now the ascites fluid has been building and they drew off 3 liters last week.
Today we are thankful for this day, this minute. We tell each other all the time that we have this minute, right now and we thank the Lord for this minute. Patty is weak and eats very little. She has nausea a lot of the time. On the good side, she is able to get up and walk around some and her eyes and that smile are as beautiful as always. She had a really great surprise birthday party Sunday with a cake and candles and a Balloon that sings happy birthday and friends that came over. Thank you for all your birthday wishes.
Hospice is now on an “as needed” basis. They have been so wonderful. All of you have been so compassionate and loving beyond words. We believe that your prayers are sustaining us. We keep reminding ourselves of that beautiful day when we will all be exclaiming our praises for our Dear Redeemer and Saviour as we make the journey with all the angels on our way to Heaven. We get so homesick for Heaven and as the song says, “We Have Finally Made it Home”. We love you all.
Love and God Bless,
Ted and PattyDear caring loved ones,
I just want to send an update on Patty. She is still in the hospital and not doing well. She is weak and only gets up for the bedside potty. She has several infections and low potassium and albumin and total Protein. She still has not eaten anything and is living on the IV TPN and Lipids. She did take a few sips of apple juice this evening and kept it down. Dr. Gurino told us today that she could come home anytime she wants to, in the care of hospice. Dear ones, when the way seems the darkest, we are finding strength from the light of God’s love. Heaven is not an alternative, it is everything.
Love and God Bless,
Ted and PattyTed and Patty,

Dear caring loved ones,
I just left Patty a few minutes ago. Her surgery went well without complications. She was resting comfortably, with the help of pain medication. She was in surgery three hours. The doc said he felt good about the outcome of the surgery. She was coming out of the anethesia pretty well when I left. He said she still won’t be able to eat for several days and might be in the hospital until the beginning of next week. Your love and prayers and support are continuing to help see us through Yet another crises
Love and God Bless,
Ted (and Patty)
