A plateau...for now.

Mom has been stable over the last few days. She lost some blood on Saturday, and there was some concern for continued bleeding. It has stopped, however, and she is maintaining. It is harder and harder for her to breathe well and swallow, and it is difficult to catch more than a few words of what she is trying to say, but she is communicating some still with us. Coherent moments are few and far between, and she has been fairly agitated because of being in the bed so much. A short reprieve on Friday consisted of getting her out of the bed and into the living room to look at the yard and the leaves that have been changing and falling in the yard. She was much relieved to see outside and enjoyed the sunlight.

Thank you all so much again for prayers and meals, and all of the other support that goes unmentioned. It has been a hard time this past week or two, and there have been more tears than usual.

Sally forth,
