56 Nights!

Hello, hello world. Katie here- blogging in lieu of my lovely mother. 

She informed me the other day that she spent 56 nights in the hospital this summer; no wonder why she feels like there was no summer this year. That is no small thing. 

She continues to enjoy being home and has her productive spurts of cleaning out shelves, closets, etc, but also finds that such activities leave her wanting to rest immediately afterwards. She is greatly successful at making her own meals each night for her and Doug. Kudos. 

Heading into the sick season makes us all a little anxious and nervous. Anyone who wishes to visit my mom needs to be up to date on their immunizations, including and especially the 2013 FLU VACCINE. Very important. 

The long, slow, and gradual recovery continues, with deepest gratitude for everyone's magnificent care and love for Kathy. We all, really do soooooooooo much appreciate and treasure any prayers, fasts, and good thoughts people do for her. Everything about this long road is taken not in big strides, but in baby steps. She is also still on an IV at home, which she does on her own (Kudos again)--- and many pills that would require the smartest pharmacist to remember when to take them all! That alone is a huge chore, which, again, she does all on her own.

Baby steps, baby steps. She's doing as good as anyone could hope for. Thank you to heaven, for granting so many blessings and tender mercies!
