Much needed update

Hi Family and Friends,
I've been meaning to post for days, but as the school year draws to a close, the hours in my day seem less and less.

Mom had a bit of a set back. She has rosacea on her face (dry red patches) most likely from all the meds she's taking.  So the doctor put her on an antibiotic for it.  That led to her getting Thrush in her mouth.  Then she started having trouble going to the bathroom and the meds the doc gave her for that made her sick and that set her back even farther. She was in bed for several days after that episode.

She's feeling better now, but her legs have been hurting her more, so please pray for that.

Also, she did see a new doctor that said she needed surgery. Of course this was a shock because no one else has really said that recently.  She went to this new doc, Dr. B, for therapy and he instead throws out having surgery.  Mom and Kim didn't really know what to make of that, but he insists she can get better with surgery. 

Please please pray that God will lead Mom and Kim to make the right decision about surgery and if they go that route, that they will find the right doctor, etc.... right now, we are just exploring the possibility, and thinking it through, no plans have been made yet.

We may just stick with therapy for now.

Please continue to pray for her and for Kim.  Mom has an appt. with Dr. E on Monday and will be driving herself. She doesn't want us to go with her.

G'Night!
