and miles to go before i sleep....

another tough day for my mom.  while they have the leukemia in check for the time being, she is very sick from the treatment.  they have changed around her medications but can't seem to get her on the right track.  despite improvement in her blood numbers, she has not really made progress in feeling any better.  she is still running a fever most of the time.

i honestly think the doctors don't quite know what to do and keep adjusting the antibiotics and pumping the tylenol to manage her fever.  since her throat has cleared up somewhat, she is eating a few more soft foods.  her stomach hasn't fully adjusted to the change.

she wants so badly to feel better.  she's tired.  very tired.  please pray with me as we help her weather this latest storm.  she appreciates all the thoughts and prayers.  as do my dad, my brothers, and me.

"For to be poised against fatality, to meet adverse conditions gracefully, is more than simple endurance; it is an act of aggression, a positive triumph."
