One Day At a Time

It's Thursday night and today has been pretty nice. We had our nurse from Hospice out today to go over Lorries condition with us and give us some options for her care. They have offered to us a hospital bed that they would bring into our home that would enable Lorrie to be more comfortable and give us a chance to care for her easier. Alicia and I are alternating nights at her side and we are getting used to the short cat naps between taking care of her through the night. She is becoming increasingly weaker it seems each day which the nurse indicates is a direct complication from the cancer she is fighting. She is dropping some weight again but we are continuing to get the protein down as much as we can. Lorries mother Linda has dropped over again as she does so many times a week and continues to clean and rearrange the house while my mom Polly is making us some amazing dinners and helping watch Lorrie for me when I have to get something done around the house. We know that there wont be many days like the Saturday we all had together two weeks ago when she woke up, cleaned the fridge, arranged her medication cabinet and asked to go to Hobby Lobby in north Scottsdale to make this incredible rose covered cross, but whatever the Lord gives us each day either good or bad, we thank him for another blessed day with mom.
