Pure Joy

Wanted to have something upbeat for a change. What a wonderful picture. (No, I didn't take it, I found it on LOLDogs.)

I Wish

I wish I could give you better news but my mother's situation just doesn't seem to be improving as it should. Her stroke was not supposed to have affected anything except her sight. We were able to bring her home from the hospital Tuesday a week ago. But she is apparently having an adverse reaction to one of the medications they gave her. She can't stay awake. Literally. She was sleeping 24 hours a day. She would nod off walking from her bed to the bedroom door. So we took her off that medicine and she is slowly making some progress, but we (my family and I) don't think that she is progressing as she should be and as was expected. She was better two days after the stroke than she is right now. And I am pretty soon going to run out of leave time. So this is a pretty stressful time right now. Your continued prayers are much appreciated.

Joy Journal: I got to take a breather and sleep in my own bed last night and spend today with my husband at my house. The relaxation was such a energy restorative.
