It is just getting worse...

I talked to both FIL and MIL last night because Travis was working late. FIL revealed much more than I had heard. MIL is still not eating. She is drinking Ensure but less than a can a day. She just has no appetite. The dr has put her on an appetite enhancer and FIL mixed it with her Ensure yesterday and she ate more than she had in weeks! I just hope she will continue to eat.

I asked FIL how things were and his said better today than yesterday. I said what do you mean? He said well I think Grace (MIL) forgot to take her steroid that keeps her brain from swelling and it was a bad day. She was very moody and out of it. He said I am now going to have to monitor that.

I could tell talking to her yesterday that she was still out of it. This is not a good sign at all. When I got off the phone with them I just cried. I feel so helpless.

When Travis got home I told him to call his mom, she was completely out of it when he talked to her and coudn't carry on a conversation. This really devistated him.

Please continue to pray for her and us as I can already feel it going downhill.

Crazy Hat Day


It is Crazy Hat Day at the boys' school. Cole is wearing a Santa hat and Logan wanted to wear his cowboy hat. This cowboy hat is super special to me. It was my grandpa's (Pa). Pa died my freshman year of college and there are many times I sit there and think. Pa would enjoy this. This was one of those moments.

I could just see him standing there admiring my son wearing his hat smiling from ear to ear and saying "Lordy mercy that hat looks good on you."

I took a picture to memoralize this moment and I know one day when I see my Pa again we will talk about this moment.
