Slowly but Surely

Mom is doing better with her eating. Yesterday she was able to eat/drink 2 cups of liquids. Today she ate/drank 2 1/2. Everything is staying down and she is feeling really well. The weather has made it difficult to go on walks so she has gone to the gym to walk around the track to build her strength.
Today she again attended all three hours of church. She doesn't sleep during the day because she worries she won't be able to sleep at night. Last week she ended up having a couple of days where she slept well throughout the night, but those times are not common. Even though she doesn't take a nap, she just doesn't sleep. She's not on any medication but Prilosec, so there aren't any chemicals keeping her up. Maybe it's from her stay at the hospital, the staff there certainly doesn't let their patients sleep through the night. :) Hopefully her body will figure it out soon and she'll be able to get the rest she needs to heal properly.

Dear Karen,
Thank you and your family for continuing with the blog. We are preparing to leave this week for the Mormon Handcart Historic Sites in Wyoming for the Summer. Sure a lot different than Hawaii. But, again we will have special experiences that we wouldn't trade for anything in the world. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers daily. Take care and mind the doctor. I have found some "OTTS" in my family history. Maybe we're related. Love, Sue & Kent
