Yesterday

Thank you for all the comments and prayers!!!
Mary had a better day yesterday. Not spectacular, but at least the nausea wasn't so severe that she couldn't eat. She did have a little bit of food. In an effort to see if the pain meds were the cause  they did adjust her medication.  She is now on Dilaudid and is taking about 3 times the amount then she is currently prescribed.  She has been in serious discomfort. We're hoping this will be the answer to the stomach issue.  She did not have radiation today but that will resume on Monday unless Mary is still not feeling well. It also sounds like she will be out of the hospital and moved to rehab. There she will get some physical therapy in an effort to gain the use of her leg.  Again this will all be predicated on how she's feeling. I know each day, I wake and pray that today will be the day she feels better!!

The hospital room did get a workout yesterday as Mary had lots of visitors!  Her brother Phillip stopped in along with sister-in-law Rhonda and niece Lynn. The Bill Kiecker family and the Stalboeger clan all hung around too and kept Mary company.  She had the opportunity to receive communion and had a wonderful conversation with the visiting Priest.  She also had lots of phone calls! Thank you family and friends for reaching out to let her feel your love and support.

As for today, Annie is hoping to catch the doctor and touch base, so I may have some more info to share.  Please continue with those prayers!

For I know the plans I have for you," declares The Lord,"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray with me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.  I will be found by you."
Jeremiah 29:11-14
