Finally some good news!

Angela and I took my mom to the doctor today and we got some good news. We met with the nurse practitioner, who was wonderful, she answered all of our questions and really showed some compassion for mom. It made us feel very good.

The good news was:

• The biopsy came back negative for cancer
• Mom is feeling better already since she finished her 2 antibiotics Monday.
• She can get back on a regular diet.
• She only has to take 1 pill a day for her acid reflux, and 1 for regularity
• We ate at the Nutcracker in Pataskala for dinner and she ate very good. (By the way, the food there was very good, it is decorated like a 50's diner, very cool)
• Lower the bed back down to level (see below why this is a good thing)

She asked me to thank everyone who had been praying for her, she feel like she has turned the corner.

Tuesday she has an appointment with an orthopedic doctor to look at her shoulder. We are taking her to the same doctor who treated my ankle and Brandon's shoulder.

Going through this reminds me of the whole parent child relationship. When kids are little the parents take care of them, help them understand things and make sure things work out. As you get older, the roles reverse. I can see that through this time. It makes my glad we moved back from TN for things like this.

There were a couple of funny moments in this whole ordeal. The Doctor told my parents to raise the head of mom's bed by 6 inches to help with the acid reflux. Well the first night she slept in the raised bed, she slid off the foot of the bed!! Too high, so they lowered it a little.

Other funny thing was that when she would take a shower, my dad had to sit on the toilet with 3 towels for her. She has lost a lot of weight and wanted the towels right away because she was so cold!!
