Updated Request for Prayer
Lauren is now taking his second day of radiation treatments. He had seemed to be looking forward to them. Then, when they came to take him to the radiation center, he said he did not want to go --- ever again. The policy of the doctors here in palliative care (all terminal patients) is not to insist that patients do anything they choose not to do. I did get him to agree to go today, but if he doesn't change his mind by tomorrow, radiation will be discontinued, and he will go home on hospice within the next few days. Hospice will come after this whenever he leaves, but the doctors believe the radiation will prolong his life. I would like to see him take the whole 20-day treatment, but it is not my decision. Nor is it really Lauren's. I know that God is in control and is able to heal Lauren or keep him alive for any length of time, with or without radiation. Just pray for His will to be done, in whatever way He chooses and that I will not let my desires get in the way
