Doing Much Better

No, this isn't how Janet takes her medication! She had just taken the last and had added water to rinse out the bottle. She didn't want to waste a drop!

The night afer her biopsy Janet had trouble sleeping. She dug out her IPod and the first song that played was 'On My Way to Paradise', sung by Bob Carlisle. She has laughed about that many times since then. How like the Father to give her a fun song to enjoy as she started on the last phase of her journey home! We listened to the song again this afternoon and Janet was bopping around on her bed and singing along. This is the Janet we know and love!

Janet had a much, much better day on Tuesday. She was able to be sitting up in her rocker most of the day. In fact, one of her caregivers (me!) was worn after a busy morning and when Janet laid down for a nap, I grabbed a pillow and stretched out on the couch. Guess who woke who up?? About 35 minutes later I heard Janet calling my name. At first I thought she must be uncomfortable but all she wanted was a mango smoothie! It hadn’t been that long since she’d eaten a bowl of soup and some ice cream for lunch so it was encouraging that she was acturally hungry again! Our new and ‘growing dearer every day’ friend, Sue, had brought over the yummy chicken vegetable soup, with every slice of vegetables done with love for Janet. (I know it was yummy because Janet insisted that I have a some of it for lunch, too!)

Pray that she didn’t wear herself out today. She got more of her ‘stuff’ sorted through as well as some important paperwork taken care of. Thank you all so much for praying for Janet. The Lord is so gracious to give her days like today that she could enjoy instead of just endure.
