Thanks for rallying around us. It's definitely crunch time now.
Ramona was admitted into palliative care today. Ramona was having trouble breathing, and when I brought her for radiation it was apparent she was having a lot of trouble. They immediately put her on 10 litres of oxygen...and she still feels like she is not getting enough air. She is too tired to effectively communicate.

I don't know how many hundreds of times I've thanked everyone for praying......

My heart is heavy today as I think of you guys - praying for you all the time...pleading with God for Ramona's healing. "Contend O LORD, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of buckler and shield and rise up for my help. Draw also the spear and the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me; Say to my soul, "I am your salvation" Ps.35:1-3
Not giving up! Continuing to persevere in asking God for Ramona's healing. Praying also for His peace in your minds and hearts.
Love you all,
Mandy

I don't know why I can't leave my computer... allways checking if there is a message from you...
My daughter Lilou has been a very special person in Ramona's life if you want to see the picture of Lilou and Ramona http://bibililouetc.blogspot.com/search/label/Lilou%20et%20Ramona
she is in a way the god mother of Lilou
Tonight I've said to Lilou what Ramona is leaving right now,
not sure that she has understood, she is only 5 and a half
but we praid
a catholic prayer in French :
je vous salue Marie pleine de grâce, le seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est bénie, Sainte Marie mère de Dieu Priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs et à l'heure de notre mort ainsi soit-il Amen
Ramona tu as été une bénédiction pour ma fille, tu as été son professeur d'amour, grâce à toi elle a pu se construire, je ne te remercierai jamais assez pour ça,
I said that you were Lilou's teacher of love, and that you give her the strengh for life
you are her God mother
we love you
brigitte and Lilou

as this weekend is the emcup, i've been thinking a lot about the time i met ramona there a few years ago. we were able to chat a bit and hug and it was so awesome to meet her, as i had been praying for you guys & reading your blog for a while before that already. over & over it's stood out to me what an amazing woman of God she is. the love she has for our Lord Jesus is something i admire SO much. i will continue to pray.

Hi Ramona and goofy Earl, (I mean that in a good way)
I know times are tough right now, but I've never once been worried about the cancer taking your life, because I have a feeling in my heart that God will heal you. I have had this feeling since day 1.
I don't have any doubts!
See you tomorrow.

Prayers and Love -Brendan G.

Also, if a woman that was pregnant survived an 11,000 foot fall from an airplane (her parachute didn't open), and still give birth to a normal healthy baby, then God can provide a miracle for you as well.

Hey Ramona & Earl,
I spoke with my mom tonight, and she gave me a bit of an update. My heart aches for you - struggling to breathe is indeed terrifying, but my prayer is that God will give you both peace ... and all the oxygen you need, Ramona! You certainly have tons of support, and I thank God for that!
