Update

Good morning and thanks for checking in.  Mom is doing okay these days.  She gets around the house to do the things she needs to do and has been busy with lots of visitors.  We feel very blessed to have so many people who love and care about us.  She still retreats to her bed throughout the day so she can stretch out.  She's not sleeping a lot during the day, just resting.  She prefers to keep herself awake so she can sleep well at night.

We kept her busy this weekend.  On Saturday Mom went to Adam's alumni football game.  It was raining so she sat in the car with Dad and I, but she was still able to see the first half.  It meant a lot for Adam to have her there.  She yelled and cheered as Adam caught and ran the ball down the field.  We left the game at halftime but Adam's team went on to win, and he even scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

On Sunday we prepared a Thanksgiving meal to have together. 



Mom didn't eat much but we all enjoyed our time together.  After we ate, some of Mom's brothers and sisters in law also came to visit.  These days are very emotional for everyone, but we are going to be thankful for each moment we have together. 

Please continue to pray for peace and strength for Mom and all of us.

Below is a beautiful song Bre shared with us this morning...."How Great Thou Art."

  4. Mary, I haven't stopped praying for you. I think of all of you often. I pray that God's peace and love would completely surround you through all of this.
