In our waiting.... God is working.


Good afternoon from Waxahacie - Baylor Scott and White Hospital.  Today mom has been here for 2 weeks!  We are ALL getting a little restless.  

Today when I got here Mom wasn't in the best mood.  She is in pain and she is worried.  What we are doing right now is waiting on insurance to say where we can move her.  Our place MAY be a rehab center or it MAY be a place in DeSoto that is able to give her ALL of the antibiotics that she is currently on.  We are waiting for insurance to decide.  Something MAY happen tomorrow.  But right now - we are here until they let us know where to go. 

Mom has been in bed for TWO WEEKS!  14 days is hard on a body!  Her left side is where the stroke effected the most.  She is having difficulty moving that side and it is filling up with fluid.  The doctors are aware and working to help her out.  For now - we keep things elevated as much as we can and we pray things get better.  

YESTERDAY - when I got here - she was sitting in a chair!  The physical therapist helped her into it - and she stayed for a couple of hours!  THAT is progress!  

Today we played Acappella on my phone.   Her right foot wiggled to the music a little.  We listened to this group ALL the time in the car driving.  Over and over and over on long car trips.  Their music is calming and familiar and perfect for anytime - especially a Sunday.  

This blog will most likely NOT be updated daily - but we thank you for tuning in when we DO post something new.   Thank you for your prayers, too!

NOT the end.....

 Today would have marked 5 weeks since Mom's stroke.  During that time, Daddy, Heidi and I were beside Mom as much as we could be and it will still never feel like enough.   I could tell you all the odds that stacked up against her.  I could tell you about Daddy who just fought to hold onto her.  I could tell you the pain of Heidi who flew back to California with plans to see Mom Tuesday evening.         But.  All of that seems like not the right story.  So let me tell you of our last minutes with her.  Minutes are what matter - right?  I walked into her hospital room.  Daddy was by her side holding her hand.  He immediately jumped up and I got to hold Mom's hand.  She has been sleeping a lot in the last few days.  When I came in she was talking.  She was alert.  She wanted me to know these things -  "I love you SO SO much! In Jesus Name Amen."   She said this over and...

It's a dance! One step back, two steps forward...

From time to time, you find yourself taking a step backward before you are able to find the best path for you to move forward in your journey. It's kind of like a little dance. This is where we found ourselves this morning with mom's journey of recovery from her stroke.  She was moved to Legend Oaks Rehabilitation this weekend, but she has fallen out of her bed two of the three nights she has spent there so far. We think she forgets that her left side doesn't work, and try's to get up in the middle of the night. This morning the fall landed her back in the emergency room at Baylor Waxahachie, but luckily nothing was broken. They did find a touch of pneumonia on her lungs, and the wound on her left arm is starting to ulcer so she is on another round of antibiotics. For now mom is back at Legend Oaks, and it's believe it or not - she fell out of her bed a third time this afternoon after returning from the emergency room! So we are working to get mom transferred from L...
