I have not posted in months but today I am asking for prayers for these beautiful people.
Julie is a 48 year old friend who was diagnosed August 2009 with pancreatic cancer. Her daughters Hanna & Claire are 17 & 13. Rodney is her husband of 19 years.
This is an entry from their CaringBridge site from yesterday 11/9/10.

Hi, (Rodney here)
Hanna, Claire and I just returned home after visiting Julie at Mercy Fairfield Hospital. She was admitted yesterday after Dr. Crane saw her in his office. He could tell things weren’t going well and ordered the CT scan to be done Monday instead of two weeks from now.
This morning he gave us the results and I’m sorry to say the cancer is… Well, it’s bad.
We wanted time as a family to talk, cry and even laugh before we shared our bad news. We decided that her quality of life is more important than fighting any longer. (Julie was actually concerned that she would be letting you all down if she “gave up” or didn’t continue “fight harder.”)
Not only is Julie the most smoking hot woman I know, she’s also the toughest. She fought hard but it was never a fair fight. Hanna, Claire and I asked her that she give us whatever she has left and stop fighting.
PLEASE PRAY THE DAY AWAY.
