Waiting and Hoping 3

Today was not good. She was nauseated and did not eat. Her mental faculties are still there but ... her body is so thin and she only weighs 72 lbs. as of a week ago. It may be less now. She once was down to 58 lbs. several months ago, so it has been worse. Unless something turns around immediately this may be it.

As I sat and talked to her and stroked her hair as she slept memories came back. Here was the lady who was so strong and in control. Taking charge was what she did. My pastor, Jeff, came to see her the other day and he commented that it was him who felt blessed by the visit.

The doctors said that they could do no more. Maybe it is time to start over.
