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.

Ronna and family, My prayers continue for all of you. It sounds like your Mother is progressing well and that's wonderful. Take care. Karen Frick
ReplyDeleteI hate that this is all happening at once (let alone at all). Tell Gma and Gpa I'm constantly thinking of them and that we love them from way out here in Oregon!
