His double vision had nearly disappeared.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time in days, they believed they were turning a corner.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Brittney says everything has changed again.<\/p>\n<p>She says Will\u2019s liver numbers continue to rise, and his liver has become so enlarged that it is causing severe abdominal pain.<\/p>\n<p>He is now receiving methadone, ketamine, and Dilaudid to help control the pain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have reached the point of what this journey has been all about\u2026 leaning into faith when there is nothing else,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, Brittney says she, Will\u2019s father Jason, his grandmother, and other loved ones gathered around his hospital bed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere comes a moment when you realize you have done everything humanly possible, and all that remains is to trust the One who has carried us this far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From the very beginning, she says she and Jason made a promise to fight for their son with everything they had.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have loved him fiercely, advocated relentlessly, and chased every door God opened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then she shared the words no parent ever wants to have to write.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how this chapter ends, but I know Who is already there\u2026 Our God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne thing I know with absolute certainty\u2026 Will is going to be healed. Whether that healing comes here on earth or in the presence of Jesus, cancer does not get the final word. God does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, this family has one specific prayer.<\/p>\n<p>They are asking God to do what medicine cannot.<\/p>\n<p>They are praying Will\u2019s next CT scan shocks every doctor involved and that the only explanation is a miracle.<\/p>\n<p>But if God\u2019s plan is different, they are praying for the strength, peace, and grace to walk whatever road lies ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Please share your most powerful prayers with them right now.<\/p>\n<p>As Brittney wrote:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur God is bigger than cancer. As long as there is breath in Will\u2019s lungs, we will continue to pray, believe, and advocate with everything we have for an earthly healing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s not the news any one of us wanted to hear about teenage cancer warrior Will Roberts as he battles Stage 4 cancer.
