Mom's wisdom

"Here's the thing about life. You've got to find those fun things to have about life. This is not necessarily fun.
But you've got to find something fun." - Mom, on June 22, 2012.

Hopefully a non-update

Mom's been doing well the past several weeks, continuing to build strength and getting up in her wheelchair a few times a week when the physical therapist is here. She's been a willing participant in spelling and reading homework, she's helped straighten out yarn when a project goes awry, and she's dried many, many dishes from the comfort of the wedge pillow and her bed. She's watched a bevy of birds enjoy the feeder hanging outside her window, including a bold blue jay and a pair of cardinals.  And she loves the colorful flowers outside her window.

Today, however, she is not feeling well, with a headache, mixed up language and general weakness on her right side. We're hopeful this is just an infection again mimicking symptoms of tumor growth, and test results will confirm this. But it's a holiday weekend, so results may be slow in coming. It might be a long few days.

Prayers are appreciated.

Good luck. Bob not doing as well anymore either. Enrolled him in physical therapy since he is starting to scuff when walking and catch his heel going down stairs. He has good days and bad days. Today he is complaining of being tired and is in bed taking a nap.

I hope all is well with your mom.
