Two days ago I posted how my family is having another baby. That is joyous news. Sadly, my 6 year old daughter Naomi may be losing her 3 1/2 year battle with cancer. There is nothing more medically that can be done. We now have enlisted the service of hospice. Naomi has been in a great deal of pain lately. Our primary goal now is no manage that and make her comfotable. A few months ago I posted how Naomi was not doing well. Your replies were kind and uplifting. I’m not posting now for advice or seeking help. I just wanted to let you know. Thank you for all prayers and support. Roadwalker. ---

Sorry to hear of your plight, **Roadwalker**. I hope your experience with hospice was as good as mine. The hospice staff at my local hospice home were angels. They were amazing. May God bless you for considering the needs and comfort of your daughter over the “heroic” attempts to extend her short life. May you find comfort in the fact that you’ve done everything you could to make her life a good one. Godspeed as you travel through this journey. ---
