Monday 9:00 p.m.
It's been a couple of days since my last post, only because we've been busy! Mom continues to get stronger each day. Her incision is healing very nicely. She's been off her pain medication for two days now, keeping her pain under control with just Tylenol. She came home with half of her head shaved, and on Friday got the other half taken care of, so she's sporting a G.I. Jane look. Friday evening we stopped in to Bible School just to say hello. They had a special prayer for Mom each night and gave reports of how she was doing. Monday evening before her surgery Jason brought a box of cards from everyone at Bible school. Much to Axle's delight, Mom has resumed her morning walks with him.
I went back to work at Michaels this weekend, and life is slowly getting back to "normal." They have been very accommodating and understanding with scheduling which makes it much easier to go back, knowing that Dad's able to be home with her when I'm at work. On Saturday evening Tina brought us another pan of lasagna. It was delicious, as usual. We are very fortunate to have such great and caring friends. We went to church on Sunday morning and then the Livengood reunion that afternoon. Uncle T.R. and Missy were able to be at the reunion this year. Sunday evening Uncle Allen and Aunt Mary Ann came down and we roasted hot dogs and sat around the fire pit laughing until midnight. It was a beautiful night and cool enough that the fire felt pretty good!
The surgeon's office called today and rescheduled the follow-up appointment for next Thursday, so we'll have to wait nearly a week longer to get the stitches out and get news of the radiation schedule. Today Mom received eleven more cards, bringing her total up to 133! A special thanks in advance to Joan and the Bruceton United Methodist Church for volunteering to feed us on Thursday nights for the next five weeks! Also, thank you to the Sugar Valley Church for volunteering their spaghetti dinners on Saturday. We have been truly blessed by the generosity of our friends and neighbors! Continue to remember us in your prayers, as well as John Jenkins and Aunt Betty.
