November 27th

Mom's count is back up around 4,000. So she doesn't have to wear the mask when outside the room and we don't have to wear the mask when we visit her either. So if you'd like to come and see her, go right ahead. She's feeling better but she's taken a few steps back in the strength department. But that's expected with the lower white count.

I took her a Zaxby's Chicken Fingers Kiddie Meal yesterday and she ate the fingers and some of the fries, so that was encouraging. And Rob played with the toy that came with it, which was amusing for me and mom. :) I also printed out the most recent comments from the past week or so and read them to her. She was glad to hear from you all. And Meredith, I actually chanted the Krista Cheer you wrote. She had a good laugh at that!

We've started the process of getting mom on disability but they are saying it's going to take 6 months! So pray for things to speed along in that department so we can get her some financial help. Thanks to everyone who has been so generous in that department. If it weren't for you guys, her bills wouldn't get paid! Mom is so lucky to have so many people who care about her.

I put a counter at the bottom of the website so I could see how many people check the website each day and I was overwhelmed to see that around 75-100 people check in everyday! It's great to know so many people are thinking of mom and wanting to know how she is doing. Thanks to everyone who has lent a shoulder to lean on in their own little way; whether it be a card in the mail or a visit to the hospital or even a comment on the blog. We are all so grateful for the support.

Krista, we're glad your white cells are up. We will pray that your will get more strength and be home for Christmas. We miss you in choir, especially on Sunday morning when we are getting lined up! Keep up the good work!
