Good Evening,

Today was a day of mixed emotions. On the upside, Mom is feeling better. Meds are working, she's eating, she's sleeping, and chatting. She is still at Swedes, but that is because they switched to the oral drugs that she will be sent home with and want to make sure there is stability.Which we are glad that she will be at the hospital in case the oral meds don't work. She will have some preliminary radiation work done tomorrow and then sent home. She is fatigued and will continue to need lots of rest. And we all know how difficult this will be for her. Pray that she will take care of herself and plan for lots of naps.

She did not begin any radition treatments today, because the doctor wants to check with Madison doctors also he did not want to start and stop radition when she goes for the lung biospy on Wednesday. So, we will wait and be patient, patient, patient. Radiation will be Friday or Monday, as of now.

Wednesday will be her biospy in Madison. "Lord, comfort us, be near, wrap your arms around Mom, and may the results found in Rockford be true."

Hopefully tomorrow Mom will be back to blogging, even if just a word or two (I don't know if that is possible...she loves you all and will have more insight than I). I know that everyone is anxious to hear from her. Thank you all for being so near! Thank you to a gracious God that hears us in our trials.

Love, Kurt and Jenn

    Please know you are ALL in our prayers at this stressful time ... thank you so very much for sharing what's going on with your Mom! She's an extraordinary person and loved dearly by sooo many! Just know God "is" in control and will bring her through whatever challenges lie ahead; giving her, as well as the rest of you, strength, patience & comfort as only HE can! Give her and your Dad a "hug" for us! It was so nice seeing & visiting with them a short time ago @ Calvary. God Bless .....
    Love & Prayers,
