I am typing this on my blackberry from the floor of my daughter's nursery as I am trying to transition her to sleeping in her own room this week. This experience makes me love and appreciate my mom all the more:)
About 9am I got a call this morning on my cell from a number I didn't recognize. I amswered and it was my mom. She said, "I know you would be calling me to check on me soon and I didn't want you to worry about where I was, I'm at work!" At first I thought it was a joke but then I remembered she called from a new number so it was true. She said she had talked to the doctors and told them that she wanted to come in for a little while just to feel normal again. They made her promise not to overdo it and welcomed her to come back to work.
I called her after lunch and asked her how it went. She said she left a little before lunch and that she was taking a nap. She sounded tired but good. She had taken some new pictures of Haidyn with her to show her buddies. She said they kept a close eye on her and she would see if she felt like going in tmrw. How amazIng is that? Ten days into treatment and my mom decides she's strong enough to go back to work for a little while. We feel so blessed that mom is feeling better and that she has the kind of love and support of her 2 doctors, Dr Ijams and Dr Turner, and their entire staff to pray without ceasing for her healing and to keep so a close watch on her while allowing her to work when she feels up to it these days.
I haven't seen mom since Friday but everyday I have talked to her and she sounds stronger than the day before. Tmrw I will have to go over there and see her. Thank you all so much for the countless prayers that have been lifted. God is answering in a powerful way!
