Coffee? Tea? Serenity?

Mom and Dad visited with Grandma Foreman during the late afternoon and evening visiting times. Dad had a brief conversation with the nurse that was on duty at that time. Dad's question was, "Are we seeing progress?" The nurse's reply was, "Yes, medically, we are seeing progress, but it is a very slow one and it may take a long time."

The nurse also explained that each day they would attempt to reduce the work of the respirator and have her do more of her own breathing. This is part of her therapy to keep the lungs in normal function and to discourage them from becoming totally dependent on assistance.

Dad had not seen her since last Sunday. I asked him what his thoughts were in comparing her condition from the past Sunday to this one. He said that although it continues to be very difficult to see her in that condition, he found her to be more alert, more excited to see them, and in better spirits.

This journey is an extraordinarily difficult one for Grandma Foreman. It is also a very difficult one for her children and grandchildren as well as all those who know and love her. I ask that you continue to lift everyone in your prayers.

Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."
