Well it has been while since I have posted on the blog. Carrie has been handling most of the updates. Carrie asked me to write this update. So a lot has went on since the last one. This past weekend was pretty tough for us. Carrie had a couple of friends come in from Nashville and allowed me to go the Auburn/Florida game (War Eagle) and while I was at the game she texted me and told me that she was feeling pretty bad. She said on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the best and 10 being the worst, she felt like a 12. The bloating that she has been having has become consistant and got a little worse. She said that she felt like if she swallowed a pill she would throw it back up. She called Hospice and the nurse came out and talked to her. Carrie has been taking 60mg of Morphine every eight hours and now she is taking it every two to four hours as needed. She has been getting a sharp pain in her right leg if she stays on it for too long. It has gotten to the point where she is confined to her bed and her portable toilet. This afternoon she was getting up to use the toilet and her legs gave out from under her and she fell next to the bed. This fall is nothing compared to the fall that she had earlier. No bumps or bruises but she was unable to get up off the floor. Carrie's mom and my mom were here but they were not able to get Carrie up. I left work and came home and get Carrie back in bed. I was planning on taking an extended leave starting Monday but I am going to start it tomorrow.
Please continue to pray for us. Saturday night Carrie and I were talking and she is beginning to wonder how much longer she has. The constant bloating is causing her to be pretty miserable and that is the one thing that she didn't want; to be miserable. She said that she is getting tired of fighting. We have some really rough times ahead. Her mom, dad and step mom are here now. Yes, most of my inlaws are here under my roof. :) Right now, we don't know exactly how much longer she has ( only the Lord knows that). And we don't expect it to be in the next couple days.
I wish I could have written a better update but we wanted to update everyone on everything that is going on. I will try to update the blog every couple of days to let everyone know how she is doing.
Thanks for all of the prayers, thoughts and support.
Jason & Carrie
In times like this you have to have a deep seeded faith and I know you both have that kind of faith. Lean on family for help and trust in God that his will be done. You know both of you are in our hearts and prayers. We are all part of the family of God.

Of course, we will continue to pray for both of you, and your families as well. We love you very much, and pray for Carrie's comfort and your peace.
