Posted this in the other cooler this morning but can use all the prayers we can get:

The dr has found a mass in one of my 78 year old MIL's lungs and needs to remove it with part of the lung. She has seen her heart dr who does not think heart heart is healthy enough for surgery. Sounds like the mass is probably cancer so a hard choice to start with. Now they have discovered bad issues with her teeth and a major bacteria infection so they want to fix that first. She went home after the dr visit yesterday and somehow managed to fall of a chair at the dinning room table, knock herself out cold and broke a collar bone. She has some type of infection on her skin with holes in the infection spots(but not that skin eating thing TG) and obviously not in good health. I just don't see how she can survive all of this and we will all have to face loosing her sooner rather than later. Hard on my hubby since we are an 8 hour drive away and have to count on his sisters to take care of it all and keep us advised as to what is going on. Please pray for the entire family, such a difficult time right now. She has been my MIL for 38 years and someone I love very much. Sometimes life just sucsk!!

At this point my mil has decided to do nothing, no surgery of any kind. Dr told her she asked what would happen if she did nothing that he would give her 2 years tops. At 78 my gut tells me that she is just not willing to go through that much pain of all this. Can't say that the family is happy with her decision, my hubby is trying to accept it but it hurts him a lot. Thanks so much for your prayers and please keep them coming.

I understand her decision, but I know it MUST be hard on those who want to keep her at all costs. Still praying.
