Mom is experiencing more and more headaches these days. I'm sure it is from the pressure created by the growth of the cancer in her brain. Along with that growth comes added decline for her physically. She can no longer sit up on her own. We have to help her up into a sitting position, she is just losing her strength. Her legs are no longer working. She tries very hard to help us move her with her right leg but the signals to actually move the leg are not making it from the brain to actual action. Mom now has a permanent catheter which has helped us a lot - less trips to the potty. The game playing has slowed down a lot. Her appetite still seems to be good. She graves sweet things.
Larry Jr came for the week from Denver to spend time with mom. I think they both benefited from the visit. He is home safely now and continues to call mom daily. Breonne is home and all is well there after she was gone for 2 1/2 weeks. Her little guy, Axton, sure missed his daddy! and his puppy, Sadie.
Thanks everyone for your prayers, cards, phone calls, and visits. The days get pretty boring for mom so she loves it when she gets to visit with people. She still cries when you come over or when you leave, or when you call but that's ok - these visits are a great boost to her. Thanks everyone too for sharing your garden goods with us and a loaf of homemade bread, cookies, etc. All has been greatly appreciated.
