Long Week

Well, this has been a long week, for me at least. Mom does not seem to be bouncing back at all from the last round of treatment and the bacteria that she is being treated for. She is very weak and is only able to stay awake for very short amounts of time. She is also not eating much which doesn't help her build up her strength. Today when we went by to see her, I ask her if she had eaten today and she gave me a dirty look and said "very little". We were really hoping that she would be able to build up her strength before she went in for her transplant which we hoped would make things a little easier for her.
She has a lot of appointments next week. She has to see a dentist and an opthomologist in addition to her regular appointments and included ones regarding the transplant. The trips to Houston are hard on her and completely wipes her out.
Please continue to pray that she will start to gain some strength before the transplant because it isn't easy when you are strong.
It is so hard to believe that we have only been dealing with this for 10 weeks. It seems like it has been years and I can only imagine what it has been like for Mom.
