Home, Week 5

Mom is plateauing, I think. She's been feeling a little nauseous, but we're working on keeping that under control. Her pain is under control, which is great. I know you all are busy with your lives, but when you have a moment, even if it's just your commute time home from work, if you could give Mom a call, just to say hi, I think she would really enjoy that. She would LOVE to have some visitors too. Having something to look forward to is a great distraction, and added bonus, she gets to see people she cares about, and vice versa. =)

We've been going out, both with the walker and the wheelchair, and she loves getting out of the house and feeling normal. We've put an air mattress in her sewing room so I can stop sleeping on the couch, but that can be flipped up so she can still work in there during the day. She just hasn't felt like it too much with the nausea.

She has been getting on the exercise bike we have, just for five minutes a day, to work on her flexibility and strength. She's doing a lot more around the house for herself, so she is stronger, and her endurance is getting better.

Oh, and to all of you at RHI that volunteered to come over and help with the yard, be careful, I think she make take you up on that. ;) She got a kick out of the way that offer was worded. Thank you all for caring for her so much, she really feels the love and looks forward to coming back to work.

Until next week (hopefully, as no news is good news), thank you all, keep the prayers coming, and give her a buzz on her cell when you can (the house phone is still dealing with this little snafu). God bless. =)
