I know the thought of when I might get the way she is scares me more than anything else I'd be dealing with. I think about and pray for you guys many times a day. I'm so happy to hear those prayers are being answered. Love you guys.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00447426761997274667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8020529311685740872.post-88573677799583110382015-01-25T20:59:42.074-08:002015-01-25T20:59:42.074-08:00Josh, I am so sorry.

I pray every day your burden will be lightened and things will get better. I pray for normalcy. I think you're wonderful and she is so lucky to have you by her side. She had great foresight to know even way back when just how amazing a husband you would be. She shared many a daydreams about how perfect you were. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her. I've always thought the pair of you to be wonderful examples of strength and love. You both are more than amazing. I think about your dear family constantly and always have a prayer in my heart for you. Love you both. <br />-My parents send their love, concern and prayers. They always thought Alisa was just the sweetest!

I'm not a good sleeper, so I would watch her closely and try to stay on top of her medication. I know lots of people have probably offered, but please put me on the list.

I think its good you talked to the doctors about what is bothering you. That way they know how to help-as best as they can. You're doing a great job. I'm glad prayers are being answered! We will keep it up!

Humans can handle just about anything but some things just need to stay the same. I think you have done a great job taking care of so many people, probably thousands of people who read this blog, with your humor in a serious situation but it's okay to admit that it really isn't that funny. I remember the day we walked out of the doctor's office after learning my daughter would have to do another 9 months of chemo. We couldn't stop laughing but inside we were so sad and scared. The secretaries all said, "Wow, you must have gotten great news!" There was nothing great about it but laughing seemed the only thing we could afford to do since crying would have surely shredded what was left on our already thin emotional brakes. I appreciate your honesty. I can't even imagine how hard it is for you to watch this unfold. I can't even...I know you are loved and I know that Alisa must be so proud to have such a loving husband by her side. The prayers and focused thoughts will continue for your whole family!

You have been such a rock through all of this. Know that as fervently as we are praying for Alisa, we are praying just as fervently for Heavenly Father to strengthen and uphold you. John 14:27 has and always will be my favorite scripture: "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Praying this day for your sweet Alisa to come back to you, that you will be home together in a few days with your boys, enjoying the simple things. All our love!
