Day 63 and 62

FRIDAY: One step forward and 20 steps back (or so it seems). Today has been an awful day for Mom. She has developed a rash that will not stop itching. It started Wednesday on her face and was on her back Thursday but today it has moved lower down her back and to her legs somewhat. She sat up in the big pink chair for about 2 1/4 hours but slept most of the time. They did a biopsy from her back and we will find out the results Monday or Tuesday.

SATURDAY: Not much change from yesterday. Still itchy and red. Got to ride in the big pink chair and while sitting in the chair, Rae gave her a pedicure. She again has slept most of the day.

Please pray that this set back clears up quickly. She is so ready to get out of there. The longer she has to stay, the lower her spirits get (and ours too). It has been so long since I have seen a smile on her face.

Hey Barbara! I hope your sweet girls are reading these comments to you. I'm so glad you passed your swallowing test! Did your teacher daughters and hubby give you a sticker for passing??? It's time to start putting some meat back on ya! I so wish I could share a little "padding" with you :-( Hopefully this crazy rash that found you will clear up and let you get back down to the business of getting well! We all miss you so much and can't wait until we can see you again! Hugs to you! Love, Vickie & Steve

Oh, I am so sorry. It's so hard to imagine your mom without a smile. Praying for the return of her health and her smile. And praying that the next 61 days go by as quickly as possible for all of you.
