8-30-17

Mom was very tired all morning and her appetite wasn't as good as yesterday. The wheezy breathing seems worse but the swelling in her legs & hand is better. They plan to do another diuretic and respiratory treatment today. I took the 2:40pm flight from Des Moines to Phoenix. So hard to say good-bye but am glad I had these 2 days with mom. Nancy will be with her the rest of today and between my brothers & sisters-in-law nearby she has someone with her each day. #thankful4family
Mom & I made a short little video before I left. I wish I had recorded her saying the 23rd Psalm. She knows it by heart and it will touch your heart to hear her say it. Brings such peace.

PS: I made it back home & heard from Nancy that mom had a little bit of vomiting this evening. Ugh. That isn't good. After her respiratory treatment she seems to be breathing better. That is good. Prayers that her stomach cooperates going forward.

  1. Oh I loved the video you did of your mother...would have loved to hear her repeat the 23rd Psalm!
