We keep a white board in Mom's room on her decorative shelf. Mainly, it's to keep all of us Halls well informed about her daily events. There are a lot of us popping in and out throughout the day, so it's a great record of who has been to visit and what the latest is in regards to food, moods, etc... The kids love to sign their names and leave little messages and pictures. Yesterday, Anderson drew a shark attack. I mean what Grammy wouldn't love that on their white board? ;)
The last three weeks that white board has been filled with YOUR names. It has been such a blessing to see all the familiar names up on that board when I sneak up to visit Mama in the calm of the afternoon. Most afternoons she has been sound asleep from the excitement of all of her visitors. The nursing home and hospice have both mentioned multiple times the countless friends Valerie and Clint have. Mom's white board has not only been filled up, but Mom has been filled up and lit up with more life than we have seen in months. Your visits, songs, flowers, laughter, hugs, kisses, and prayers have ministered to her heart (and our hearts)!
Praises:
1. Mom has been very alert, bright eyed, and talking. Now, is a great time to see her!
2. Her blood pressure is up.
3. She has not lost weight this week, which is the first time since July.
Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray that as we enter the fall/winter seasons that Mom would remain healthy. Her body is so fragile and her immune system so weak that even the smallest infections could wreck havoc.
2. Pray that peace would continue to sustain Mom and Dad, especially when visits come to an end and people have to leave. Because Mom is more aware, saying goodbye seems to be upsetting her more than usual.
3. Continue to pray for a good nights sleep for Dad.
4. Pray that as a family we can continue to have wisdom on how to love and care for Mom the best way possible.
