To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.
- Ecclesiastes 3:1
Today has been such a blessing, it's been a ruff day but such a good day. I'm here ( in the new recliner), with my needy dog thinking about how many people I have been touched by today. I woke up late, worked for 5 hours, had coffee with Momma Kaminski, went to the social security office, laid with my momma, went to dinner with close family members, and to top off everything my family was blessed by the Olson's. Today my momma was not feeling the greatest, she was given a blood transfusion, more lipids, they tapped her stomach again, and she was moody. The hardest part is when momma does not want to talk, I mean I love being there in general, but sometimes it's nice to talk. Yesterday they were able to take out a liter of fluid from my mom's stomach; this relieved some pressure, and helped the stomach size go down. Mom has also been accepting pain meds; she has not taken pain meds because she didn't want to add ANOTHER pill, or get backed up from taking them. Yet the past few days she has been taking pain med's and I asked her " isn't it nice not to have to "deal" with the pain or put up with it? she has also been able to sleep better when she has the pain meds- all in all its a positive and it's been nice to watch her calm down and relax. I left the hospital when they were beginning the transfusion, so I'm not really sure how that all went down. Hopefully it will give her a little more energy then she has had the past few days.
Momma Kaminski graced me with her presence today; it was much needed, and greatly appreciated. Thank you Cam for setting that up :) She is such a wonderful woman; with so much insight on situations. She knows how to cheer you up, encourage you, lift your soul, and she does this all in the most loving way possible. She is just wonderful. I'm so blessed to have a amazing friend with such a amazing family that loves Jesus. She gave me good idea's, and just a lot of words of encouragement.
Then when I went to the social security office the man up front asked me what I needed help with, he didn't just shove me away and say take a number, he showed me the paper work, walked me through it, and got me the right number to call. It's a relieft.
Carly told me to text her when I got home, her momma brought over crackers, meat, PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES, fruit, flowers, FOOD!! I saw momma Olson and cried; it's weird going from living at someone's house, to never seeing them; but still knowing they care more then you could imagine. After she left I cried some more because i was so overwhelmed by generosity and love today. It's been so amazing to watch God work within this whole situation, and I'm more then excited to see her this weekend!!
I decided that I will be going to nursing school, and I start taking all my classes at the end of March, I'm really excited for this next chapter of life but I'm even more excited to be one step closer to my goal of owning a half way house in Sierra Leone.
Tomorrow is my last day of work; it's really weird. Please be praying for this transition. I'm excited to be able to do what ever my momma wants to, go where ever, and just be there with her all the time.
Thank you to everyone who is praying and loving on my family, I can say from my bottom of my heart that it is much appreciated :) We are so blessed.
-hopefully tomorrow is a better day :)
