Trudi's gone
I am sorry to have to inform everyone that this morning (4/16/07) Trudi was called home to be with Jesus. I thank God that she went peacefully in her sleep. We are planning a memorial service to honor her life. It is tentatively scheduled for 4/28/07. I will post more information when I have it.

April 7 Update on Trudi's condition
As of Saturday morning (4/7/07) there has been no major change in Trudi’s condition. She has been getting weaker day by day. She is sleeping most of the time now, but at least we have been fairly successful in controlling the awful pain she had been in.
She has family with her 24 / 7 at the hospital. We are thankful for the nurses on the oncology floor. They are a dedicated, special group who go way above and beyond the call of duty to make all of their patients (and families) feel comfortable and at home. It is obvious that this is more than a job to them. They genuinely care!
We also want to thank our real life friends and extended family for all the help and support, as well as all the prayers. We are humbled by everything that you have been doing to help us!
And thank you to Trudi’s cyber-family as well. I know that she thinks of all of you as friends. I rarely post, since Trudi has always been the writer, but I read the messages on the Stop NHL message board, the Memory Book Inspirations forums, and Trudi’s lung cancer blog every chance that I get. It brings tears to my eyes to read all your messages and to see how many people’s lives Trudi has touched all over the world. Thank you all for your prayers and support!
I hope you all have a happy Easter. Please keep praying and/or sending your good thoughts. I am still praying for a miracle for Trudi. It is never too late for God!

Update on Trudi's condition
I have very bad news concerning Trudi’s condition but I want to let you all know what is going on as factually as possible.
Last Friday evening (3/23) Trudi’s abdominal pain worsened to the point where we could no longer control it with the meds we had at home. I brought her to the ER and she was readmitted to the hospital.
CT scans of her abdomen show that the cancer has spread drastically in the last month. It has now become much larger in both adrenal glands and the lymph node involvement has increased by at least 50%. There are new tumors in her liver, spleen, right abdominal wall, the space around her right kidney, the left omentum, and the gastric mesentery. There has also been direct tumor growth into her inferior vena cava.
The doctors have ruled out any additional chemo as being useful. This is hard for me to even write, but the medical prognosis is that Trudi has only a matter of days. She is currently on very strong pain and anti-anxiety medications. We are doing our best to make sure that she is comfortable, both physically and emotionally.
Trudi has her family and friends around her and I know that she can feel the love of her cyber friends as well. For those of you who pray, now would be a good time to ask for a miracle. For those of you that don’t pray, all your good thoughts are appreciated. I will do my best to post updates when I can, but obviously being here for Trudi comes as my first priority.
