Back on the 10th floor
Mom is back on the 10th floor with with the NG tube in her nose, an IV in her hand and of course the feeding tube in her tummy. The nurses really struggled to find a vein for the IV; both arms are still bruised from her last visit here. They finally got a small vein near her knuckle which is somewhat uncomfortable, needless to say, the NG tube placement was no picnic either. She's pretty exhausted. They will be doing additional tests tomorrow, probably another swallow test and x-rays to see what's going on. The main thing is she is well looked after and they are taking care of these things before they causes any real problems like pneumonia! Hopefully they'll be able to coordinate her overnight treatments so she can get some solid rest tonight.

We're so sorry to hear about the complications, but we keep up with our prayers on your behalf and trust the Lord will see you through this latest challenge.
With love and aloha,

Yesterday in Sunday school, we discussed Joesph's afflictions in Egypt titled, "Be fruitful in your afflictions." Karen and Arvel are among those I consider to be examples of this Joseph like faith and endurance. Thanks for your sterling examples. Aloha.
