A Rough Day


Mom's not in this picture but I thought it really needed to be posted. First of all, it clearly shows that Mom's knack for sewing started early as she made us identical dresses for both Easter and Christmas. We sure look cute but the downside is that I had to wear the same dress for six year. I would grow out of mine and then get Shari's and grow out of that and then get Deb's. It could explain why now I always just wear black. I'm not exactly sure whose couch that is behind us but it's pretty scary-looking.
Mom had a rough day today. She had several bouts of severe nausea which makes it challenging to keep the pain meds down. We are not sure if the nausea is from increasing the dosage on the meds or the progression of the cancer. This afternoon we got some anti-nausea medications in her system and she is a little more comfortable now. We also have some fast acting morphine that goes under her tongue that can help with the pain. We are taking it hour by hour and doing our best to keep her comfortable. Visits will be very limited until we can get Mom comfortable.

    I am at a loss for what to write, but know this - you are in my prayers and God will lead you through this. I know from my own experience with Nancy how important it is to find in each day a blessing and to focus on his goodness. May you find Peace in this difficult time.
