Taking Each Day As It Comes

We are learning to take each day as it comes. This week started off with Mom battling a major headache and really bad nausea. Tanya spent the day with her on Monday and it was a rough day for Mom. By Monday night she asked for no visitors so she could get some much needed rest. Thankfully her doctor was able to switch around her medicine and she is finally feeling some relief. Her headache and her nausea have subsided for the time being. Thankfully as this week went on she has been feeling better and better! Her counts are continuing to drop, but her appetite has returned a little. She was being fed through an IV for one day, but since she started eating again and keeping it in they stopped feeding her this way. She has started having cravings again for certain foods which is great! Anytime she asks for something we try and get it for her. We usually end up sharing her food with her, but let me tell you it is not easy eating with a mask on!
Today marks two weeks already since she was admitted to the hospital. Her spirits are still up and she is eagerly awaiting to return home! We know the road will still be long and we may hit a few bumps, but Mom has been taking everything in stride and is doing so well! We thank the Lord for His amazing faithfulness and providential care. We truly see Him working in her life and granting her all the strength she needs to battle through each day.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you not forsake you." Deuteronomy 31: 6

  1. We are so thankful to our Lord for helping Mom with the headaches and for giving humour and appetite back! We continue to pray for the transplant to take and Mom's journey to continue with healing and gaining of daily strength! Love all of you and hold you in our prayers!
