    Default HELLO EVERYONE "JAMES'S WIFE"

    HELLO, THIS IS TWYLIA JAMES WIFE. I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT THROUGH THIS TRIAL ME AND MY HUSBAND ARE FACING WITH MY MAMA. AS JAMES HAS TOLD YOU MY MAMA HAS TERMINAL CANCER STAGE 4. THE DOCTORS DID NOT GIVE US MUCH HOPE. THEY STATED SHE WOULD NOT BE A CANDIATE FOR SURGERY OR CHEMO. BEFORE SHE WENT IN THE HOSPITAL SHE HAD BEEN SLOWLY LOSING WEIGHT FOR ABOUT A YR. THEN COME JULY OF 08 MY MAMA COULD NOT EAT OR DRINK HARDLY ANYTHING AND KEEP IT DOWN. SO EVERY SINCE JULY THE ONLY THING SHE WAS ABLE TO KEEP DOWN WAS BOOST NUTRITIONAL DRINK. AS OF DEC. 08 SHE HAD ALREADY LOST 60 LBS. THE DOCTORS RAN TEST, BUT FOUND NOTHING THEY TOLD US IT WAS ACID REFLUX. I WAS REALLY AT ODDS WITH THIS. I TOLD DOCTORS THAT PEOPLE TAKE NEXIUM EVERYDAY AND ARE FINE. SO LATE DEC. WE WERE REFERRED TO SPECIALIST AT UAB, A SURGEON. HE RAN TEST AGAIN. AND ANNOUNCED EARLY JAN. 09 MY MAMA HAD A TUMOR IN BEHIND THE ESPHOGAUS PUTTING PRESSURE AGANIST IT SO THAT MY MAMA HAD ONLY A STRAW SIZE OPENING TO ALLOW FOOD AND WATER TO REACH THE STOMACH. AS OF MIDDLE JAN. THIS SURGEON REFFERRED OVER TO ANOTHER DOCTOR FOR APPT. FOR BIOSPY. IN LATE JAN. A WEEK BEFORE SCHEDULED BIOSPY MY MAMA GOT IN SEVERE PAIN. COULD NOT HOLD ANYTHING DOWN NOT EVEN BOOST. WE RUSHED HER BY AMBULANCE TO UAB TO FIND OUT SHE HAD PANCREATITIS AND KIDNEY/URINARY TRACT INFECTION. THE NEXT DAY THEY WERE GOING TO PUT FEEDING TUBE IN FOR MY MOTHER TO GET FOOD AND DO BIOSPY OF STOMACH ALSO WHILE THEY WERE IN THERE. BIOSPY WAS RUN NEXT DAY TO FIND OUT SHE HAD CANCER IN THE STOMACH WHICH HAD POSSIBLY ALMOST SURE HAD PASSED TO LIVER. TERMINAL STAGE 4.
    BUT, I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THE BEST NEWS WE HAVE WITNESSED THROUGH ALL THIS IS MY MOTHER TODAY IS NOT DEPENDING ON HER FEEDING TUBE THAT UAB PUT IN FOR HER FOOD.SHE IS EATING LIGHT SMALL THINGS AND DRINKING SMALL LIGHT THINGS. SHE HAS TO TAKE IT SLOW AND HAS TOO EAT LIGHT. I GRANT YOU IT IS NOT A FULL IMPROVEMENT BUT PRAISE GOD SHE IS ABLE TO GET SOMETHING IN HER SYSTEM. THE ONLY THING SHE TAKES WITH THE FEEDING TUBE IS HER MEDS. GOD IS SO GOOD TO US THROUGH ALL OF THIS. HE HAS BLESSED US SO MUCH.
    THANK YOU ALL FOR CONTINUED PRAYER AND SUPPORT THROUGH ALL OF THIS. YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. OUR GOD IS GREAT AND WILL CONTINUE TO SEE US THROUGH I AM SURE OF IT. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR US AND OUR ABDUNANCE OF FAITH TO GROW. TO CONTINUE GIVING US COMFORT AND STRENGTH DURING THIS TRIAL. I HAVE FAITH GOD WILL MAKE THIS TRAIL A BLESSING, AND MAKE US STRONGER. I HAVE RAMBLED LONG ENOUGH. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR EVERYTHING.
    LOVE,
    TWYLIA

    All I can say is that for some reason, since I learned about your mother's condition, it has been hard not to think about you guys.That probably says a lot about you guys, particularly James. I also want to point out that this does not happen to me very often and I wanted to thank you for that experience. Despite the negative prognosis, I truly hope for the best.

    Al raz.

    Praying for you and your mama and whole family Twylia. Your faith in a tough situation is an inspiration to me. The Lord never says that we won't have to go through the fire or the deep waters, only that He will be there with us. May His blessings be with you.
