Thank you, still, for everyone who is leaving us encouragement. As the days go on, your encouragement continues to bless us all.

I left the hospital and, for a few days, am back to only sending prayers for my mom’s healing. My mom is definitely more encouraged today, but at this point her body is kind of discouraging. The edema is causing her legs to be so heavy. She is able to walk short distances, but the water tends to be just “hanging out” in her. The doctors told her she can eat whatever she wants right now as they are trying to “bulk her up” before the chemo, that will, Lord willing, happen this week.

Last I heard…

she is in dialysis and they will hopefully take some water out of her.

I was sleeping as I was flying home, but at one point, I woke up, looked out the window and there it was: Santa Cruz County – “Home”. I could see the cement ship and could figure out where our house was. It was really awesome. I’ve decided that home is where my parents and sister are. So, in a weird way, UCSF Hospital has become “home.”

We are hoping and praying that God will bring complete healing to my mom. “Home” will return to Aptos soon, we hope. There my mom will be able to garden and cook and scrapbook like she loves to do. And God will have restored her body.

No matter what, we trust and hope in Him.

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.(Psalm 46:10)
