A good calm week

Mom has been doing pretty well this week. She has gained a little strength and has been able to enjoy her visitors a little more. She still needs a lot of rest and help around the house, but has shown us she's giving it everything she has to grow stronger. 

Last night Mom's sister, Sue, hosted our annual Kaufmann girls' shopping trip (which turned into a sleepover and no shopping). We had it in Seneca so Mom could be a part of this fun night she loves every year. Dad and Julie took Mom up to get blood yesterday, but then Mom and Julie were able to make it back to Sue's for the evening fun. Everyone loved having Mom there and Mom stretched herself to stay as long as she could. I think it meant a lot to Mom to be surrounded with all the love.

We don't know much else at this time, but we celebrate everyday that Mom feels okay. She will have an appointment this week and we'll do our best to keep you all updated as you pray for Mom. Thanks for all the love and support every step along the way.
