Hi everyone, it's Bre! I am grateful to be back with Mary again. It is a blessing.
Today has been a fairly uneventful day. When Mary woke up this morning, her mouth was swollen and sore due to a side affect of the chemo called mucositis. The team was quick to get pain mediciation in her PICC line, which gave her immediate relief. They also got a pump installed so that she could push the button to initiate any additional meds herself. Due to the meds, she slept most of the day, the swelling has gone down, and no sores as of yet. Praise God! We were even able to take a walk this afternoon and I am hoping to get her to eat a little here this evening. Please pray as we want to stop the side affects in their tracks. Thank you! Until tomorrow...
Mary, we're praying for you and know that you are very strong. You have a wonderful support group who loves you and wants you home.

Oh, how I wish I could bear some of your hurt! I want to come and stay with you so badly, but am so paranoid, I cannot shake the stuffy nose and dry cough. Please know that I think of you all the time, and even have the view from your first room window on my computer. You are amazing and will be an even stronger person when this is all over and you are running around helping everyone run their lives again. I love you! Love, Kim
ReplyDeleteMary please remember that only special people like yourself can push through and achieve greatness. That is you!! I believe in you and I know that there is nothing you and your family can't do together. Faith, Family, and Freinds. Forever!! Misss you Donna and Doug And your Nautilus Family
