2nd post of the day...

Just got home from the hospital. Second post in one day but wanted to keep you up to date.

Mom said "God is answering prayers!" He truly is!

They've had her on the oral medication and her pulse rate is staying down!
Which in turn is making her kidneys start to wake up to join the party and function properly! She is off coumadin.
She will be hospitalized for several days as this isn't over yet but she is improving!!!! She still has a long way to go but we are happy about the direction she is heading.

I tend to panic a bit... but I've seen loved ones at deaths door and some even pass through. You just never know when that moment will be. I did ok when papa was in the hospital 3 years ago because of prayer! I knew it was serious.... but God kept me at peace and calm most of the time. It felt like I was just on auto pilot. And I never realized how serious it really was. I still don't.

I do know that my mom is terribly worried about my health. She said it in black and white. Very blunt and it hurt me very much. But I don't want her to worry! It is sooo not good for her! And I will do this for her. I have lost 14 pounds now. My first goal is complete. My next goal is 10 more pounds. Lanny and I talked about it all afternoon. It is not too late to reverse many things right now. It is not too late to get off our cholesterol and blood pressure medication. It is not too late to stop the diabetes we are both heading for. But the time is now.... and it is with us individually. We can encourage one another and help one another... but I am responsible for myself. I know I've said it all before and no one has to believe me. I have to believe in myself. That's it! She is worried about you too, sister! I know you read this.... so let's do this. I am cutting out portions and choices. I also know exercise is good.... especially walking. I am starting a new health page with a new article every day. Hope you all get motivated and learn something with me! ;D

Well.... gonna start on that page. Have a great day!
