Morning report-Friday 4/23/2010

Deb was awake much of the night. Anxiety. Mind rehearsing the 'what if's. Possibly the pneumonia meds added to the others.

The new bed configuration was very comfy she said. Morning started out with potty>shower>lift chair>hair drying>breakfast. Is that more than you want to know? Care giving, as I'm finding out is like that. Mostly the ordinary things you do for yourself but but done by someone else because you can't do them yourself.

Various angels flew in leaving in their wake homemade bread and muffins, organic fruit, and some flowers. A handful of cards came which cause great pleasure for Deb. Thanks all!

One friend, a cancer survivor herself, made a special and unusual gift for Deb.It is a delicate colorful beaded bracelet. Each color bead represents a particular kind of cancer. Deb's myeloma is represented by burgundy.



Today is rest. We must not tire Deb out. We have to lick the pneumonia and get her rested for the next trip to Arkansas.

Thanks friends!

Vern
