We Were Doing Good

But she just got sick. She has been on clear liquids all day and she was taking it slow and keeping it down. And then the evening came and she took a few sips of broth and a couple of bites of jello, got up to go to the bathroom and it all came back up.

We are trying. It's just a waiting game at this point. The doctors are trying to make sure she can start eating again before they will even think about letting her go home. And she is making the effort, but her body just doesn't like it all the time. She was very frustrated. She is trying so hard to do everything right.

So, we will just see what tomorrow brings. It's day by day right now. We have to try to be patient and hope her body will accept the food she is trying to give it. She actually got a little bit ornery this afternoon and it was very cute. I am staying the night with her tonight so we will just try to let her rest and try eating again tomorrow.

Love, Teresa

Ornery is a good thing...she's still fighting. That's a great sign. You're a trooper, Teresa. Keep your chin up.

I just keep praying that Shirley will get to go home soon. Keep up the possitive attitude that she will be home soon. Love you all.

Amen! Ornery is good. God bless Shirley, and her efforts to keep on trying. And you T, be blessed, as you are such a blessing...to Shirley, and to us all.
Love you,
