hope and faith...


not too much to report today.  another day in the waiting game.....that doesn't feel like a game.

my mom spent the day trying to deal with some post-op pain issues and trying to get her stomach working again.  whenever she has anesthesia, she's not the quickest to bounce back.  she fought nausea for a lot of the day and finally took the pain medicine that helped her get the rest she needed.  

hopefully, the new day will bring with it some much needed appetite and a fresh outlook on her recovery.  she's tired of being in the hospital.  today was day 32 of her treatment (but day 33 in the hospital).  her original goal of being home by Easter still is in reach.  she just needs to start tomorrow with that in mind. 

thanks for all of the calls/notes about her surgery.  my dad and i always have a lot of people at church who ask about my mom.  today was no exception.

i'm thinking about getting a t-shirt that says "she's still fighting" or "she's hanging in there".  maybe a shirt with the blog address........so many people care about how she's doing.  it's awesome, really...

anyhoo.....if you're reading this, you're as updated as anyone and we (my brothers and i) are appreciative of the prayers for our parents.  she feels them.  my dad feels them, too.  they must be what is keeping the fight up....
