Don't lose hope Linke family!

I can't tell you what's going to happen. I can't tell you he'll be all better in a few months because I don't know. I also can't tell you that he'll gradually worsen...I don't know. I'm just a human being. Doctors are human beings and have their limitations, they really only know so much, they don't have all the answers. I believe in miracles and it doesn't matter how far progressed a person is in their illness. Please don't lose hope, people defy the odds all the time.

My grandpa had a heart attack when he was 50 years old and wasn't expected to live long. He lived to be almost 90 years old. My mom has been battling a bone marrow disease for almost eight years and I'm still holding out for a miracle, I still believe it can happen. I've had people come up to me and tell me they they understand what I'm going through, they tell me they watched their mother die slowly of cancer. Who said my mother was dying? I'm going to tell you I know exactly how you feel. I don't. I've never had a child but I know how hard it is to have a mother who is sick. Not knowing what the future holds can be really scary. You kinda feel helpless because you want to help that person but what can you do? You want to take that pain away from them, you want to clear their body of that disease.... but you often can't.

But like you mentioned.... it's definitely important to enjoy every day with those special people in your life, I'd say that goes for everybody!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you!
