Huge Day
Mom made major leaps forward this afternoon/evening. She's been awake basically since 3. She ate her own "dinner" using spoons and straws and shovelled it in about as fast as she could. Then she started reading her cards, aloud, over and over and over. Then she started printing and writing. One of her cards was from the new senior group at their Ft. Wayne church called Oasis. Rex knew what the acronym of the letters represented and mom wrote it out on the card! Shift change is 7-8, so we left and the nurse told me when I returned that mom doodled on the papers the whole time we were gone. She had the TV on too. Meds are being taken away that she no longer needs. She's just doing great.
The news on Rex unfortunately is not good. We got some very disturbing info from the oncologist today. He is having 2 more tests next week, then the final decision on treatment will be made on Friday. Mom does not know and please do not discuss this with her. She would not be able to understand and process this right now. We will inform you as we can. Please pray for Rex, as he is handling a lot on his own right now. I am very very proud of him. Plans are being discussed as to how to handle both of their situations simultaneously. PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR FAMILY AS WE MAKE THESE DECISIONS.
Mom named this blog several weeks ago. I keep hanging on to the words. God Will Make A Way.

Big Change
Ronna has informed me that Mom has made a big leap in recovery today. Earlier when Ronna and I talked on the phone, she informed me that mom was singing along with some visitors. Also, she had sat on the edge of her bed for 3 minutes with the physical therapist.
Ronna just texted me that Mom is feeding herself!
This is really tough being at home. I can't wait to get there tomorrow afternoon.
My cousin Karen has had some problems with commenting. Email me if anyone else is having problems too.

Hey! Post something so we know you're reading
We've taken a big step in keeping this blog up to date as best we can, and as soon as we know anything new. Please leave a comment so we know you were here and reading. Also make sure you read down several posts as we post so often, there is likely stuff you haven't yet read.
Mom will eventually be reading this and would love to see a bunch of comments. This is such a neat thing to read after the fact for her, so she can see all that was going on during the time she probably won't remember.
