We have had so much to be thankful for over the past few days! Mom has been getting progressively stronger and her blood counts have continued to rise. Praise God!
On Saturday, Mom's doctors allowed her to come home to join all of us for a Father's Day celebration which had been scheduled prior to her hospitalization. Mom was looking so forward this event and we were all grateful that the doctors were so willing to accommodate her. Mom enjoyed every moment, especially finding out that there is another grandchild on the way! Kevin and Vanessa are expecting their fifth child :). It was a special day that we will all treasure.
As of Sunday, Mom's blood counts reached the levels that her doctors wanted to see and Dad was allowed to take Mom to a park. Today, Mom begged the doctors and nurses to let her come home .... and they agreed!
Mom will continue to be on medication for next six weeks for the infection in her lungs. She is gaining more strength each day is thrilled to be in her own home once again. At this time, we do not know when Mom's next appointments will be or when more treatments will begin. We are so thankful to God for the healing mercies that Mom has experienced so far and the peace that he has given to Mom and Dad.
The following passage has been special to Mom:
"You have put gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased.
I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety."
Psalm 4:7-8
