Thursday was a rougher day for Mama holding food down and feeling sick. She was really concerned that Friday's appointment back with Dr. Gore could possibly put her back into the hospital. Fortunately, that was not the case. At her appointment, they removed her PIC line and staples. Her infection is looking better. There is still a little redness, but it is improving. The trip to Seattle was tasking on her physically and emotionally. Her next appointment is next Friday the 9th.
She continues to struggle with an upset stomach and nausea, but she is determined to keep slowly chipping away at eating at least 1000 calories a day and drinking fluids. A 1000 calories just doesn't sound like a major task, but in her case, it is all she can do to get it down and hold it there.
Mama and Daddy are enjoying being back in the comfort of their home and they are both getting much more rest now. The weather has been so beautiful and the soft warm breeze coming through the windows is a nice blessing.
We are praying that the eating and drinking gets easier and easier and the nausea goes away soon. If you think about it on Thursday and Friday, please keep Mama in prayer regarding her follow up visit with Dr. Pillarisetty. We just don't want her to have any anxiety preparing to go to Seattle again as well as the day of the appointment. Sometimes just walking into those buildings brings a rush of memories that can be overwhelming for her at times.
We appreciate your continued prayers and encouragement more than you know.
With love,
Carmen & family

Deva, I'm so glad you got to return
home. I know that you will rest
better in your own bed. That stomach has undergone terrible
trama and its going to take time
for it to operate normally. Thank
the Lord it is working at all. Our
prayer is for the nausia to cease
and that you will have an appetite
and can hold the food down. Stay
away from roughage like salads
for awhile even though you crave them. May each day show marked
improvement. We love you dearly
and feel so bad when you are
struggling. He giveth more grace
when the burdens are greater. He
sendeth more strength when the
labors increase. To added affliction He addeth His mercy,
to multiplied trials His multi-
plied peace. His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power has no boundries known
unto man, for out of His bountiful
riches in Jesus, He giveth and giveth again. Love Dino
I am glad to hear things are a little better now that you are all home. All my love and prayers to you all.

Diva I am so thankful you are home and on the mend. When you feel stronger and things settle down for you I want to visit!!!! I can hardly stand it!!! Have you tried a little mashed potatoes and gravy? Very soft tatos and gravy enough to let it go down easy. What about custard? Jello? There is always room for it you know! hehehe Dale just blended food with broth till it got to the right consistany. Ever try blended pizza or tacos or pork chops and tatoes and gravy and peas? I love you my dear friend. I will call before Dale and I leave on Friday and you can reach us on my cell when we are in firing range. Enjoy your deck and flowers Love Linda H
