Blessing

From last Saturday to today, we got to see a nice change..a positive change in mom's energy, eating and mood! (Thanks to her being off the anti-fungal antibiotic & her determintation, drive & fight) It's been quite a blessing! Last Sunday-Thurs have been some of her best days in a very long time! We had a lot of visitors last week and then with Halloween - lots of cute little ones bringing the exitement and joy to the house!

(If you look closely you can see mom in the window)

Sometimes, I know we tire her out with all the company...but we can't stay away! Grammy's house is a favorite place to be for all..and you just can't stay away! We've really enjoyed the blessing of her having a good week!

We saw Dr. Jessica last Wednesday, and the appointment went well. The visit 10 days prior to that one proved a drastic change for the better and Dr. Jessica was very pleased! There still hasn't been a blast in the blood with the leukemia, but numbers are still slow to move & have fluctuated too much, so unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done on someone with such a compromised immune system and with a journey like my mom has been on - and actually, more treatment can actually make things worse and not better.  The love and support we receive from Dr. Jessica and her team is just amazing!  They truly love mom and our family, so we know that as hard as this is for us, it is just as hard for them..

You see, Dr. Jessica has made if very clear every time we see her how amazed she is by mom! The fight she has put up, well..she's just never met anyone like her before. I know I am blessed by it..and my grandma had it too! We are fighters. Thankfully, I've got that trait in me too! We fight and we pray and we trust God with our everything...because that's what we were taught and it's what works. A legacy of giving everything you have..a legacy of love..of forgiveness..and of faith. I may be biased, but I think we have something very, very special and I sure wouldn't trade it for the world!

We are unsure of what the future will bring but we are thankful for each day Mom is home and spending time with us.  Praying for the every day..for a miracle..for comfort..for peace. Join us in praying and as always thank you for your love and support!
