Baby Steps

There isn't a whole lot new to talk about, but thought I'd write out a quick post nonetheless. Donna is still trying very hard to eat as much as they want. She sometimes falls short, but she is still pushing herself and doing her best. The docs told her today they want her to try to get something, anything down at least once an hour. That's been pretty difficult considering every time we've turned around today Donna was taken out of the room for something, either a test or therapy or some other such thing.

Donna walked the hallway with PT again today and went a little further today than yesterday...AWESOME!

For your prayer list, please ask for Donna's spirits to remain good. She needs positive thinking to push through some of the things they are asking of her when sometimes she just doesn't want to do them. Donna is doing great, but some extra prayers for positive thinking can't hurt!

  1. Bev, that was exactly my prayer for Donna this morning. Thank you so much for keeping us informed as to what her specific needs are. I asked my prayer group to pray for her to find something that she would like to eat also. Give her my love and would you please let me know if she gets her birthday present Sherry and I sent her on Friday(last week). Love you and keeping all things in prayer.

  2. PS. Sorry Bev. I didn't say who I am. I am Aunt Shelby. Don't worry about letting me know re: the present if it is too much. I know you have enough to concern yourself with. Love, A. Shell

  3. Hi sisters, praying those prayers and more. Especially for a little break in the storm, I know you could really use an easy day. I hope that is what Friday brings to you. Keep hanging on tight to the promises of our Lord, He will carry you through this I know. Loving you lots, j

  4. "I can do everything through HIM who gives me strengh." Philippans 4:13. I know this is you. I also know this has been much worse than you thought it was going to be. We continue to pray that with God's help, you can do everything. Keep up the good work.

    With much love Jeanette

  5. Good Morning Donna & Bev,

    I'm so proud of you for walking even further than you did the day before! NOTHING can keep a good woman down, NOTHING! I hope you will be able to get that food down once an hour, and will pray that can/will be done. I know you can do it...I just know you can! Sending lots of hugs, kisses, and well wishes your way!
