Finding Hope

Finding hope when you keep getting knocked down isn't easy. We're finding this out each step of every day.

Mom hasn't been feeling well the past couple weeks so she finally bit the bullet and went to a Doctor as opposed to her normal oncologist.

The doctor isn't really sure what to "Diagnose" her with, but was really surprised to see her up and moving so well with the state that her left lung is in. We learned that her left lung is very damaged from the radiation and seems to have a sort of infection or something to that extent bothering it. More or less, Mom currently has a type of walking Pneumonia. The Doctor wanted to consult with her fellow physicians, and look at Mom's chest x-rays some more, but for now has given Mom a very strong antibiotic and told her to take it easy. She will be seeing the doctor again on Wednesday for a further plan of action.

We're trying to keep our chin's up because we know Mom is a fighter, but Mom is discouraged at this juncture, and is just taking it one day at a time.

Please say some prayers for her, and send us some Hope.

All our Love,

Abby
