What a change!

It has been a great week. Mom is feeling much better and it really shows. She is finally laughing and smiling again! It is so good to see!
She is eating more regularly and up and about a little. They will be in to see the doctor soon to see what the next steps will be.
Thank you all for your continued support and prayer! Keep praying for healing and wisdom in the next weeks and months to come!

Finally!!

She is home! She has seen the beautiful blue sky again!! She came home this afternoon and was looking forward to resting in her own chair. We are so glad she is home. God has been very faithful to us all.
I will let you know more soon!

Going home (again)

It seems as though they have found an antibiotic that she can go home with! The doctors have been waiting to find out what sort of medicine will work to send her home on, and I think they finally have.
I believe tomorrow will be moving day! Pray that it really is, and that everything goes well. Also pray that she is ready to be home, and that she will be healthy enough to stay home.
I will let you know more as I do.

One day at a time

It has been a week of ups and downs. Just when we think she is doing great and will be going home, she spikes a fever and feels sick again. The doctors are exploring all the possibilities and trying to figure her out. Today has been a pretty good day, and they are hopeful with the right medications, they will be able to send her home tomorrow. We take each day at a time, knowing God already has this all worked out and we just have to trust in Him. She know all the staff at the hospital by name, and greets them like they are old friends. That's just the way she is- always making friends!
Keep on praying for strength for mom and dad, and wisdom for the doctors.
I will keep you all posted!

Being Thankful

Well .....she didn't come home today. I spoke too soon I guess.
She is still pretty sick feeling and they can't seem to figure out why. They are trying to adjust her medications to see if something they are giving her is making her sick. It is really just trial and error.
I heard today maybe tomorrow or Friday the will let her out, but we will just play it by ear. She is ready to be home, but at the same time, she know she needs to be there to get well.
Pray for her as she spends Thanksgiving in the hospital, and that her spirits will be kept up.
God is faithful, we put our trust in Him.
Happy Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for!

Maybe maybe!

It looks like she might get to go home tomorrow!

If all goes well, they said they will send her home tomorrow. They are adjusting some medication, and watching to see if it help relieves some of her nausea. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors, and strength for mom over the next few days and weeks. Right now she isn't able to eat anything and hardly drink. Pray that these adjustments will be the answer.
I will let you all know when I hear more!

A few more days

It looks like she will probably be in the hospital for a few days. They did the CT scan and found that the surgical procedure looks good. There is an infection and they are treating it with antibiotics and want to watch her closely.
Please keep praying for healing and strength. Nobody wanted her back in the hospital, but that is where she needs to be right now.
I will update you all as things progress.
