Mom had a great day today. Each day she seems to be doing better and better. She looks great, ya'll. Yesterday we convinced her to walk a lap around the nurses station. It was a pretty long walk. Afterwards she joked and said, "if ya'll would have told me how far that would have been, I would have slapped everyone of you." haha! Martha Jo, Gay, Juliette, and I were all like a little train following her around the hall holding onto all of her tubes. Jo has been like a saint to mom. I swear the woman hasn't left mom's side. Don's certainly been a trooper too. What a powerful friendship they share. It's pretty incredible to see someone willing to sacrafice so much. All mom has to do is say one word and Jo is at it. I know it makes us all feel better knowing she's in such good care. Mom is one blessed lady to have so many people rooting her on through this valley.
So, back to the progress. Yesterday mom made one lap. Today she made 5 and 1/2!! Whoo Hoo, GOOOOO Momma! She also showered and finally was able to eat some jello and tea. She was so happy to be able to put something in her mouth other than ice chips. She's looking good, folks. Continue to keep her, as well as all of us, in your prayers.
Goodnight everyone,
Joanna
This sounds wonderful. I can't believe how far she's come in a few days. After 5 days of ice chips, I bet that broth is going to tase wonderful :) Thanks for the updates. Mom keeps me updated every few hours, but I love reading your updates too. It makes me feel closer.
