Past time to update.....
We have been home from the hospital for a week now.  We came home on Monday evening with one oral antibiotic, 2 billiary drains that aren't making a whole lot of difference, minus his port (they removed it the day before) and a recommendation to start Hospice.  With the liver not draining properly, all teams agreed that he will continue to get infections...there is just no way to keep them all suppressed.  And with the liver not functioning right, no more chemo or any other kind of treatment can be given effectively. I am home with him on Family Medical Leave. 
We have been just trying to enjoy every day that we have here at home.  We have had some highly treasured visits with family and friends.  Randy's brother and family came to see us the last weekend we were in the hospital.  My entire family (minus one niece who just had a baby) was here last weekend (32 of us packed into our living room!) 😊 and we had an awesome time of praise & worship/communion/prayer Sunday morning. (I think we went through 3 boxes of tissues and Lukas was pretty sure he was dehydrated, but it was such a memorable time.)  Randy's sister and parents have been a constant help and comfort to us, and so many friends, co-workers and the community at-large have been such a great support and encouragement to us. We are so very blessed.
I say it over and over again, I don't know how people get through times like this without the hope and comfort we have in knowing Jesus Christ as our personal Savior.  It is only through His grace and mercy that we have the assurance of eternal life and the comfort that gives. As hard as some days are, we have a peace that absolutely surpasses all understanding.  Nothing makes any sense to me right now, but I can truly state "It is well with my soul" and so can Randy.  He has been so brave and has put up such a valiant fight.  It was 3 years ago on November 7 that we received his dreadful diagnosis.  I am so thankful for e.v.e.r.y day of those 3 years that we have had together.
I also want to just praise the Lord and ask that we all thank God for the following:
1) Randy has remained hiccup free
2) He still does not have much pain to speak of (some back pain from sitting in the same position so much) so does not have to be on pain killers 
3) He is not running fevers so seems to be infection free! 
4) He is still able to eat a little and enjoy some foods
4) God's provision and timing are impeccable.  (I am refusing to worry about finances right now.)
5) We are still having some good days that he is clear-minded and able to keep up a conversation (and even joke around now and then) 

One more thing I would like to pass along....we would ask that anyone wishing to visit please call ahead.  I am trying my best to have those that want to see him be able to do that, but also please be sensitive that I am trying to save time for his boys/family and closest friends to get time with him as well.  Thank you for understanding.
