One Day at a Time

Janet will spend another night in the hospital. She seemed weaker today. She spent less time sitting up, did less talking and more resting. She didn't even have the strength to have her hair fixed for her, and that's not a good sign for a woman!! The stent is working and her bile is going where it's supposed to go now. Her blood work came back much improved, but still not as good as it should be, so please keep praying. Other than one short period of severe pain last night she hasn't had much pain. The doctors had stopped her IV yesterday but started it again today to see if that would give her a bit more strength. She was craving a hamburger and ate a few bites of one this evening! She doesn't have much appetite so when she says she's hungry for something we do our best to get it for her! She did sit up for about an hour and a half this evening and visited with a group of friends, and she enjoyed that. She's tucked back into her bed and ready for good night's sleep!

Janet can have visitors but we ask that you call her cell phone number before visiting to see when a good time would be. We are trying to spread visits out so it's not so tiring for her. We realize that she has many good friends who want to come express their love and concern for her, and she needs that, so just call to arrange a time. Janet won't be answering her phone but some one will be around to answer for her. If you can't get through you can send a message. Please do comment on the blog if you wish and we'll get those comments to her. Tom, I got your comment but for some reason it says it was added but it's not, so you can resend if you want and we'll try again.

Janet said again today how much she appreciates the love and concern that so many of her family and friends have expressed to her. And she especially appreciates your prayers! The Lord is giving her amazing joy and peace as she walks through the valley! (Deb)
