Praying for our last hope...A Miracle

Alot has been happening on the front lines. Holly's health took a drastic turn. She has been in the hospital for around 10 days now battling for her life. She has all doctors and medical staff in awe of her will to live. Holly was first admitted because of a problem eliminating her stool and intense pain. We soon found out she had an obstructed colon and doctors performed a colostomy with 2 stomas. Unfortunately pain and difficulty continued and doctors discovered another obstruction with the small intestine. Over CT scans and testing Holly's current health, doctors came to the conclusion that a second surgery would be fatal. They want Holly's remaining time to be as much quality and pain free as possible. Surgery in their mind would be too harmful. We pleaded for the surgery but doctors replied that it would be immoral. We simply believe Holly's amazing heart and will to live would pull her through. Now we are continuing the fight with IV fluids(TPN),  pain medications, symptom relief strategies, a lot of love and continuous prayers for a miraculous clearing of her bowel obstruction. Doctors forgot to measure Holly's HEART! She is a fighter and she will not quite! We will not quit! And we know you will not quit.
You are welcome to visit but please be mindful of overwhelming her. If the room is crowded we have a family waiting room for anyone to gather and wait for an appropriate turn. Be advised also we are looking into transfering Holly to either the Hospice facility or possible in home hospice in the near future.
Thank you for your continued support during this crucial time.

Please pray for a miracle! It is all Holly has left.

Holly loves you all!

Couple days of set backs

Holly has had a few good days and a few bad days.

This weekend was probably her worst weekend yet.  Saturday, Holly had CT scan and some x rays to see why she continues to have so much pain and bowel movement problems.  Sunday, the doctor thinks that Holly has another obstruction. Holly has been in so much pain, right now we are comforting her and supporting her at her bedside.

Holly will remain in the hospital probably for this week. We are taking 1 day at a time.

Doctors think possibly another surgery this week. We will get another update today and see what route Holly would like to take. 

Holly you are such an amazing fighter and our families role model.

Holly in ICU

Holly has had a rough week, but remaining strong!

Holly has been in a lot of pain for awhile, we were trying to maintain her pain. Holly went to the ER on Sunday, they found that her urethra was blocked by part of her cancer tumor. Her WBC count has been low, she has been on TPN, and getting blood as well.

Wednesday the doctors decided to take her into surgery at 4pm, surgery went well and Holly now has a Colostomy.

She remains in ICU now for monitoring. Keep pushing Holly, you are doing amazing!

Chemo update

Holly received her last chemotherapy today, next week they are going to reevaluate her CT scan and tumor markers.

She also received 2 units of blood today, which we figured due to Holly being short of breath.

Holly is thanking everyone for participating in the run, she is so amazed by all the support!
