Friends and Family,
This is the worst blog post I've ever had to write. I have to tell you that Scott's chemo adventure is coming to a very unhappy ending. We were told today that Scott has only days left with us - maybe as much as a couple weeks. His cancer is evil and relentleness and will not stop. The time has come for hospice and to focus on keeping him comfortable. We took him to the hospital in Miami this weekend because his breathing has become extremely labored. The tumors in his lungs have started to take over and there is a lot of fluid in his lungs. There are now tumors in his elbow and his knee. There will be no more tests to see if it's anywhere else - there is no need to know anymore. All we have to know right now is that he will be comfortable, and his Dad and I will be make sure of it. I know I normally share so many details with you about everything that's happening, but the truth it, it's not really relevant anymore. This is what we need to know - that he's being taken care of and that he'll be kept comfortable. His Doctors have all be en amazing and have done everything they could for him.
I am devestated. We are all devasted. This is the most unfair thing i've ever experienced. I know you are all going to ask if we're ok and the answer is no - but we will be in time. We are as ok as we can be right now. We hope to bring him home for hospice on Wednesday. My next posts will be about when he's home and when you can come see him. If you are able to come see him, please be prepared to see him tired, and heavily medicated. I'm sorry you can't see him in a better state - things just happened so fast.
I'm so sorry that you and me and the world has to say goodbye to the most amazing man.
Thank you for the love and prayers and support.
Love,
Amy
In good times and bad we both still always pulled through. I have many good memories I will share with my boys about their incredible Uncle. They are going to know their uncle. They will also know that he loved them very much. And even more so that he took care of and watch out for their Dad. I hope that everyone could be lucky enough to know my brother as I do. The world is a much emptier place without him in it and I still can't bare to think of what that day will be like. I love yu more than you know bro!
ReplyDeleteMy heart is breaking for you. God bless all of you. I'm sorry Amy!
ReplyDeleteYour dad just informed me of the state of things. I am sorry this is happening to your family. My thoughts are with you all.
ReplyDeleteI am so saddened by this news. Life is so unfair sometimes. Scott is an amazing person and my heart goes out to you Amy and family. I will wait for your notice to come visit. I would like to see Scott and offer any support that I can provide to you all.

DeleteI am so sorry to hear this sad news. Scott was a great friend during our college years, and many of the happiest memories of UCF that I have involve him. This is a really unfair situation, I am so sorry you and your family have had to have this experience, but you have been so blessed to have Scott in your life.
ReplyDeleteI am completely in tears I don't even know what to say! I am sending my love to you both it's all I can do! I can't even begin to understand what you are going through but know I am here for you both in any way possible just let me if there is anything you need...anything! <3
ReplyDeleteDearest Amy, my sister in heart and soul, I pray that in those final moments God grants Scott clarity and focus so that you may express your love for one another before transition. I have lost 8 friends in the past 60 days to some form or another of this insidious disease. Each of them in the prime of their lives. I weep inwardly at those loss of such sweet souls. Though I have never had the privilege of meeting Scott face to face, I love him none the less because he is an extension of your beautiful, loving soul. May the angels surround you with continued strength. You both have been a pilar of courage. I love you.

My heart grieves for you & Scott, Amy. Although this journey did not end as you would have hoped, I thank you for sharing it with us. Though it is hard to understand the mind of God, especially when when things like Scott's death happen, know that He loves us more than we can even envision.
ReplyDeleteRevelation 20-21 speaks of the promise that we have been given- of new Heaven & Earth becoming one, of our bodily resurrection when God & His Son return to become the King we long for. In God's perfect time we wil experience joy unimaginable & you & Scott will see each other again.
God bless you, Amy & all of the other people who have to go though what you & Scott did.
