LAST UPDATE 7/01/08 (UPDATE) Prayer request please.

Tuesday last update...<br>Mom passed away today here at home around 10:30am today. She had been breathing real hard and her heart rate was 177bpm yesterday. This morning her breathinghad really slowed down and then around 10:30 she just stopped breathing..she went very peaceful and without pain.<br>Thnaks to all for the emails, prayers and good thoughts.<br>Mike &amp; LaVonne<br><br><br><br>UPDATE: Well we have decided against any surgery's, Dr says it would not pro long her life. We/She thought that it would be better that she didn't gothrough two major operations two days apart and then try to recover from those since her time is short.<br><br>We all had her set up to go to an assisted living place..real nice..but the day we were to take her I thought...Wait..we never asked Mom what she wanted!!..Shewants to come home she said.... so home she is.... We set her up in our living room so she didn't fill like she was just stuck off in the back bedroom. Shereally doesn't have a lot of time and it is going to be tuff on my wife because I have to go back to work next Monday and she will be all by herselfbecause I work out town 5 days a week, I took the last few days of vacation I had built up to help while I can.<br>Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts.<br>Mike<br><br><br>My mother-in-law went into the hospital a few days ago with a bad back..after some tests were done they told us she has a tumor the size of a softball on herspine...Then after more test were done they told us she has a tumor on her brain...Then after another test she has cancer in her lungs...strike three!!! Theywant to do the brain/back surgery tomorrow to try to give here a little quality of life for the time she has left, but if it only gives here a few months wedon't know if we should put here through all the pain of the surgery's.<br>Please keep her and all of us in you prayers and thoughts that we can make the right decision.

I just happen to be headed out the door on my way to church now, Mike. You will all be in our prayers...<br><br>Doug
