September 27th

First of all, for those who are having trouble leaving comments, I think I have fixed that so try it again. Simply click the "comments" link below and then select "other" when it asks you to choose an identity. You can type your name in that blank to let others know who it is who's posting. So give that a try!

Mom had her stitches out today and everything with that went fine. She gets to wash her hair normally tomorrow and she's looking forward to that.

She hasn't had any bad episodes since Monday, so that's promising. Her pain is still there, around a 4 or 5, but the fact that the episodes are becoming less and less is very hopeful.

Her appetite is coming back as well. She asked Memaw to make meatloaf with mash potatoes and green beans and although she only ate a few bites of each, the fact that she is even asking for certain types of food is a huge improvement! In the past, nothing has sounded appealing and she's stuck to Cream of Wheat and pudding to subsist on.

The radiation does wear her out a little so her afternoons are spent napping and resting in bed. Which is fine because she hasn't slept very well since all this started in July so she still needs to catch up on missed sleep!

Thanks again, everyone. And give the comments a try if you haven't been able to. I think I fixed it. ♥

Krista,

I loved seeing you! God's grace is so real in your life -- and He is using you as His light during this time of trial. Thanks for blessing me with your time.

To everyone reading this: Keep those prayers UP!
