Day #102

Sorry I haven't posted anything in the last couple of days. I had no internet yesterday. I'm assuming it had something to do with the inch of ice we got Monday-Tuesday. Schools let out early on Monday & have been out every since & will be out tomorrow also. Even the U of A has been closed! You know it's pretty bad when the U of A shuts down!

Jennifer still hasn't had her botox injections. She was not feeling well again Tue morning & threw up. The dr didn't think the botox would add to her stomach problems, but was afraid to risk it so he didn't give it to her. It's just been crazy around there the last couple of days David said with being short stafffed because of the weather so he thinks that's why the dr didn't make it by to give her the injections yesterday or today. He's hoping he'll make it tomorrow. David said they will be giving her about 10 injections in each hand so they have reduced her blood thinners to prevent excessive bleeding with the injections.

She has used the toilet 2-3 times today instead of a bed pan. David said Jennifer was mad at him about it because it was his idea for them to put her on the toilet. She told him "I - am - mad - at - you." But he said she got over it pretty quickly.

David said she is able to bend her left leg about 50% now with little or no pain. She still can't use or move her left arm, left hand, or right hand. Hopefully, we will see a change in her hands soon with the botox injections.

David also said that Jennifer did not want to go to therapy today. This is something; however, that she has no say in! She MUST go to therapy! David put the phone up to her ear & I told her how I know it's hard work for her, how she's doing a great job, how I'm proud I am of her, & to keep up the great work.

Please continue to pray for Jennifer's head-to-toe healing as well as strength & encouragement. I know how hard the therapy must be for her, but she can't get discouraged. She needs to keep fighting & trying her best. David continues to stay with Jennifer at night then go home for a few hours during the day. Please pray for his safe travels as well as strength & encouragement for him so he doesn't wear himself down. I know he's young, but this is a lot for anyone even a young pup like him! Please pray for Grammy as she continues to love & care for those precious little boys until their mommy is able to care for them herself. And don't forget my mom & dad. It's very difficult for them being so far away from their "Baby Girl". They are both traveling back & forth on their days off as is my brother.

God bless you all!

Love,
Lynn
