There has been some swelling in her extremeties, both hands and feet. Mom was in the hospital for 3 days over the last weekend, having some testing and taking a course of diuretics to reduce the pressure in her limbs. We are praying that the swelling continues to go down, though her body isn't responding quickly. Pray with us as the next few days unfold, and we hope to see improvement! She is discouraged, but puts on a good face, being willing to face whatever comes along. How like her to plod ahead.
We love you all,

From Rebecca - Again!
Just a note to all the wonderful friends of Momma's .... if you would like to send her a note, she enjoys reading her mail and looks forward to the mailman every day! Please don't necessarily expect a formal reply or a returned call; but a reply in thought and prayers from Momma will surely be sent.
She is taking each day as it comes and water retention on the extremities is an issue at this point in time. Not only is she dealing with her health, but we are attempting to rearrange her home to better accommodate her, Michele and the boy's future needs.
Bruce was able to spend a night at home with her and somewhat coordinate plans for arrangements of the accommodations to follow. They both enjoyed the time together.
I have to remember that if it was simple, we sure wouldn't know what it was to climb a mountain. Welcome to the mountain, we love it here...Grateful to know what a mountain is and I would climb it any time for her!:)
Thanks to all!

From Rebecca...
Momma says "She met with the oncologist day before yesterday and the went over the latest CAT scan. It showed the cancer is slowly moving but with a density in her left upper lung which is more defined."
We apologize if calls are not answered or returned, Momma is most consumed with maintaining and just taking each day as its own. We surely thank you all and we do mean ALL of our friends and family for your prayers and efforts in lifting Momma up to God. Who could we better deliver her to!!!
Thank you so much,
Rebecca Elaine Jordan
