Sunday

So it's been a more difficult last few days. Mom was not feeling well on Friday with an ear infection and chills. We took her temp that evening and it was pretty high so we decided it was time to take her to Northwestern. She checked in and got settled in her room with antibiotics and fluids. They determined she has the flu which also caused some pneumonia. Her temp today has been much better and she's feeling ok. My dad spent the last 2 nights with her and now her sister, Sue, is with her.

She was really trying to avoid going into the hospital but we knew it was necessary for her to be taken care of properly.  We aren't sure when she'll be home but we're hoping her doctor stops in in the next day or 2. They haven't given her a treatment plan because they're still waiting on the same blood work results. We will update when we know more. 

Please keep Mom in your prayers as she's felt like her body isn't as strong as she wants it to be. Obviously we have encountered issues like these in the past episodes of cancer but it still feels difficult to get through each twist and turn this journey brings.

We are choosing to trust and feel the "peace of God"...

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4
