Joey Feek remains hopeful in the wake of Thanksgiving.The country singer's husband, Rory Feek, shared an update on her mindset and health via his blog This Life I Live
Although Joey, 40, "can no longer get out of bed," Rory still sees a fighter in his wife as she copes with terminal cancer under hospice care at her childhood home in Alexandria, Indiana.
"... She is so sharp and clear and her pain, for the most part, is so under control by the medicine that talking to her, you would think she's her normal self," wrote Rory, 50. "[She is] thinner. Much thinner. And with a hip new hairdo. But she is beautiful. So so so beautiful."
As Rory explained, Joey has unfathomable strength and "will to live" – not just for herself, but also their 21-month-old daughter Indiana, who "gets excited every morning to see her."
"There isn't a day that goes by that [Joey] doesn't look me and her family in the eye and say, 'I'm gonna beat this,' or, 'I'm getting better, I believe that.' And she asks me if I believe it, and I do. I choose to," Rory penned.
According to Rory, their family and Joey's doctors sometimes "believe that the time must be very near," only for the star to experience an upturn.
"But today and the last few days have been incredible," Rory noted. "Part of us once again believes that God is answering Joey's prayer by healing her body and taking the cancer away, despite all the odds."
The devoted husband, who recently announced their upcoming album of hymns, wrote that he wanted to "shine a light" on the realities of hospice, specifically that "it's not uncommon for people to be on hospice for 6 months, or longer."
