Tuesday evening check in...
I talked to Dad tonight. Mom did receive the unit of blood today. Unfortunately, it didn't give her any more "pep" and actually she was more sleepy than usual. They had trouble getting food and drink into her. Please pray that she is alert enough that she can get the nourishment that her body needs to make everything function properly.
They did receive some good news, her blood cultures came back and it was indeed a false negative from the labs that were drawn the other day. She has NO blood infection or any other kind of infection. The doctor said they can stop the antibiotic.
My twins ask me daily how Mema is feeling and if she is getting any better. Today, I told David that she probably is going to be sick for several months before we notice she is getting better. He thought about that. When praying over dinner, Devon asked Jesus to please heal his Mema. I hear my cousins in Illinois' children now refer to them as "Aunt Mema and Uncle Papa." (Pretty sweet.)
They are still asking about her hair. David is especially sensitive and asks the most questions. I told them both that she may loose her hair. I was worried about his response, maybe some sadness and if he would lay awake at night like he sometimes does wondering about that. I should have known better...typical 8 yr old boy...((giggles in an evil kind of laugh)) "hee hee hee...Mema BALD! Hee Hee Hee..." Then Devon said, "maybe we could get her a can of that stuff we saw on the TV commercial. You just spray it on your bald head and your hair grows!"
And with that thought, I will tell you good night. We love you and are thankful for your prayers.
This is the "laughter is good like a medicine" quote.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
...imagine my laughter when I caught my son, 11 at the time, trying on my wig and acting like a "Beatle" in the mirror!

Or my dog barking at it like it was an invading animal!
