Monday, Nov. 9

Hello all,
Apologies for the lack of blogging over the weekend... not a whole lot happened. Mom had a good day on Friday; Dad and I spent the day with her. Saturday included some physical therapy.. they had her sitting again for a while. Yesterday we visited her and she was doing well. Adrian and Autumn came (it's been a couple weeks for them) so Mom was very grateful to see them.

Her infections have cleared up! Once again, God answered prayer quite speedily. She has been in some pain all weekend, between physical therapy and stomach aches. But that is normal... her system is getting used to eating and digesting again.

The plan was to move her today. The doctors came in to look at everything this morning, and they said she was good enough to move! Big relief.
Then Dad called later, saying they would not be moving her today. Apparently things would take to long to organize in one day. So we are hoping for tomorrow... but no promises. Please pray for patience for Mom... it's very rough to have your hopes dashed so often!

She will be taken to the Reading acute rehab center... right off 422, across from the Texas Roadhouse. We are SO grateful for this- it is right near her sister's house and my Grandmom's retirement village.
It is also only 30 minutes away, and I drive to that area all the time... freedom to visit Mom WHENEVER I WANT!!!
We are very excited, although she very much wanted to come home.
I guess rehab will go on for a while. I don't know how it will work, if she cannot weight bear for a while.

So we are just waiting for today. We are still amazed at all of your faithful prayers. It's been a long month, eh? Yet God has been working each hour.

Thanks again,
Naomi for all

  2. I am so glad to hear that she will be moving closer to home soon! I know it will be such a relief to your family not to have to drive 1 1/2 hours to see her.
