On a Roller-Coaster Ride!

Mom received a telephone call yesterday morning from a special friend encouraging her to seek out more advice on her case. We rallied quickly and were "squeezed in" to a Doctor Haslem who specializes in hematology (blood). He explained that her numbers were somewhat strange. For someone who is bleeding so much for so long, her numbers weren't matching. He ordered some blood tests that we should hear the results from in just over a week.

We had to cancel hospice on the way into that appointment, but we are able to keep the equipment through home health care with the same company. It is a blessing that everything has continued to work out for mom. We are trying to do what she wants. She is an obedient daughter of God who is receiving answers to her prayers.

She is at the hospital today receiving another transfusion. She should return home late this afternoon. We continue to hear from so many loved ones and appreciate so much your offers of service. Mom just tells people to pray for her. We are trying to read her emails and facebook messages to her or you may continue to call my cell: 435-668-4395
Thanks, Val

  3. Dear Jill and Family,
    Please know that you and your family are in our prayers. We hope that your pain can be managed. I'm sure your name is in the temple, but I put it in again this morning. We are off to Ephraim tomorrow to rent our home. Again. Thanks to your sweet daughters for keeping us posted.
    Love, Tammy
