No Big Changes Today

1/21/2020

I don't have anything big to report, no major changes, no big news to share... Just another day of waiting.

Mom has dropped a little more weight. She was 110.8 yesterday and today she is at 110.1. Her blood pressure is still a bit on the high side but not too bad considering her condition. It averages around 135/85. Her blood sugar has been pretty steady, around 160 or so when she wakes. Only the weight loss concerns me most but they tell me it's expected.

Sara was here for about 10 minutes, enough time for me to take a quick shower! I am so grateful for those little moments! She and Ethan were on their way to a follow up appointment and had just a few minutes to stop for a hug and kiss!

Aunt Jeannene asked me if I minded having her bring us over lunch again today! Her love language is gifts and service, so she puts her talents of cooking and baking to minister to so many people. We are always glad to be the recipients of her love offering! (She is spoiling my husband with all her desserts!)

Mom stayed awake for a short visit.

Broccoli/Cauliflower Cheese Soup,
Kale Salad and Pumpkin Dessert

It's going to be a quiet evening, I think. I am not aware of any more visitors today and we don't have anything special planned for this evening. I need to get my Stuffed Peppers put together and in the oven.  Then, unless something changes my plans, I think I will sit and read for pure pleasure tonight until I fall into bed! Mom woke me four times last night so I am dragging a bit today!

NOTE: *****If anyone local is planning to stop out tomorrow, please call me first. I need a couple of things from town or even just offer to sit with mom, for 20-30 minutes, so I can run into town for a quick trip! That would be most helpful! (She is almost out of the cough syrup that helps thin the buckets of mucus in her lungs.) Thanks!
