Mom wasn't feeling so well in late June, she was stuck with sores in her mouth and on the tips of her fingers and some soreness on the bottom of her feet. She was also suffering with severe heartburn and was not able to eat or drink anything. She came down with a high grade fever so I ended up bringing her to the ER where they admitted her with what they first thought to be pneumonia but it turned out to be bronchitis. She was in for four days. Sometime after leaving the hospital she had an allergic reaction to some medicine and her hands swelled up so bad they almost busted open. They gave her prednisone and that helped and made her hyper! When she went in the following Wednesday for her lab work they wanted mom to stay for fluids and on the 9th of July she need to have a blood transfusion, her hemoglobin was at 7.
She made a decision on July 16th that she would stop the chemo and place everything in Gods hands. Psalm 91:2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." I absolutely believe that God has allowed mom to spend more time with us. I pray that I can make each day count. We were all very blessed this reunion to have her with us.
The sores are gone, the heartburn is away and she is feeling much better. Her hemoglobin is back to normal. PRAISE GOD! I took these photos of mom in her garden on July 16, 2009.
