Its a miracle she is still here with us, while at the same time, it is very sad as she isn't at all the woman I have known just about my entire life. She cant remember one minute to the next second. Her speech is sometimes unrecognizable. Much of the time she is sleeping, completely exhausted.They (Janice & family) are going down a road none are prepared for. I will go over every Saturday and try to share a few laughs and talks with Janice and her family. To be there for them, in any way is what I want to do and do my best to be I will.<br /><br />On Sunday, I went to Courtney's Confirmation. I have known Courtney her whole life. <br />I remember the day she was born. To be there to share in the celebration of Courtney receiving the Spirit of the Holy Ghost was very special. There were family & friends<br />a Aunt who flew in from S.C. Kids running around playing and laughing. Plenty of good food, catching up with others, sharing stories and experiences, lots of good stuff. Last night I was thinking of the things I did this wkend and it hit me, the contrast in the two days. Though, I felt taken back a bit by it, it is the way things are going and to accept it all is something I am Blessed to be able to do.<br /><strong>Both days the sun was shining, and the day was beautiful</strong>.mom nana

I then went Mon., Weds., & Friday mornings and back for lunch time Mon. & Fridays. But<em><strong> </strong>then</em> they asked me to take on 2 more mornings which meant every week Monday through Friday I was to be there before 7 am.<br /><em>No way...No how...This just didn't work out for me any longer</em>.<br />So now I just go to Murphy's every week day . No more rushing around, some mornings like a crazy lady-(r-e-a-l-l-y). No more waking the kids up at least an hour earlier than usual and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">figuring</span> out where <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">they</span> would go for that hour or so before school began. No more<strong> </strong><em>gently</em> rushing Mrs. Murphy so I would be able to get back to the preschool on time.

There to be diagnosed with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">pneumonia</span>.<br />As of right now, Doctors are saying she will need to be in the hospital on IV antibiotics and fever free for 24 hrs. before they will think of letting her go home.<br />There's talk of running tests will she is in hospital to ck on the cancer and see whats going on at this point.<br />I am praying for Janice to have the spirit and strength needed to fight, battle this cancer.<br />I am praying that her children Jimmy 30 yrs old, Felicia 19 yrs old and Mark 11 yrs old,and Janice's significant other of just about 25 yrs. are able to "handle" this day to day journey.<br /><br />I humbly ask you to please pray for Janice and her children and family.<br />Please keep them in your prayers.mom nana nelsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09221440469786984695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112820049283801281.post-17194617604385713832009-08-07T10:15:00.016-05:002009-08-11T15:52:03.930-05:00My Thoughts Have Been....all over the place lately.<br />Going ahead and renewing some work contacts in the health care world.
