It was a rough weekend with meds, nausea and dry heaves.
It's not clear to us if the new med is working or not.
Mom had a really rough Saturday full of discouragement and sickness.
It was an excruciatingly long day.
Sunday started out rough but did get a little better as the day wore on. It was a monumental struggle getting in the 1000 calories. Brian and the kids came down to see her and got caught up with Papa and grandma. We all went down to the swing and sat outside for about an hour taking in the fresh air and their gorgeous view.
Later Ken and Linda Riveness came by as did Steve and Carmen.
Steve and Carmen brought some rocky road ice crream and mom was able to get a bit down adding to her calorie count.
Ken left his recipe for Sweedish pancakes as they are high in calories and this morning mom ate 2 small ones. Woot woot!!!
She had dry heaves again and is very sore and exhausted afetrwards. We are praying for a better day. She gets tired easily and needs to nap throughout the day. I know this is what will help those 1000 calories be redirected into healing her body. It's not great for her to go long periods without "taking 5" as she calls it. I am trying not to be a "food pusher" and a "nap pusher" but it's hard to not get overly protective while she is recuperating.
We love and appreciate you all so much for your constant vigil over mom and dad. Your prayers and words of encouragement give them strength for each day.
Please pray for dad as well. His love of mom is unending and tireless. He loves on her so well.
Troy, Maria and kids came Saturday night and Troy took him to Home Depot and coffee while Maria and the kids sat and cared for mom.
Thank you Troy for getting him out for a bit. It helps to recharge his batteries and get a change of scenery, talk and share. You are awesome and I love you so.
Please keep the prayer coming. We know it is what is sustaining her and fights off the discouragement. You are all such an important part of her healing and recovery and we love you for it.
With much love and appreciation,
Kimberly and family.
