\"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.\"

Rory also pointed out that although Joey is receiving hospice care, it doesn't necessarily mean \"the end\" or that \"the end is very close.\"

\"It's not uncommon for people to be on hospice for 6 months, or longer,\" he wrote, adding that his mother lived another three or four months with cancer after hospice was brought in.

\"God chooses the appointed time,\" Rory wrote. \"Not us. Not hospice.\"

Fans of the country duo known as Joey + Rory have been following the Feeks' journey on his blog and their Facebook page since May 2014, when Joey was diagnosed with cervical cancer three months after giving birth to Indiana.

Joey stopped treatments in late-October after they were found to be ineffective.
