A new week begins

Mom had a fairly busy Saturday. She got up early, took her antibiotic and went the the gym. She walked 1/2 mile, rode the bike and lifted a couple of minutes. Unfortunately it was a little too much. Probably a combination of the antibiotic and exercise, she came home feeling pretty ill. We hooked up her feeding tube and she fell asleep for a couple of hours. At 11:00 she was surprised by a quartet dressed in tuxes who came and sang to her for Valentine's day. After resting couple more hours, she and dad went to Provo and "partied it up" with mom's siblings. She tried her best to eat some of the yummy food; she was especially excited to see pickled beets (one of her favorites) but alas, she just couldn't eat them. She did get a little food down, but not a lot.
After an OK night's sleep she woke up and got ready for stake conference. Thankfully our stake arranged to have the meeting come to our home via the internet so it wasn't too exhausting to attend. :)
After another nap, mom was able to eat (and keep down) a small amount of food. Since it was a nice day, we all went on a walk. It was nice but tiring. Besides, the cool air was a little harsh on her face. We should have had a full face stocking cap for her, but, maybe next time.
She still struggles with nausea. Hopefully that will start to go away this week. She remains in good spirits as always and looks forward to the coming week.
