So a few days ago (I actually think maybe its been over a week and I just have no idea how long I've been here) I shared that we were heading to Oklahoma to be with my mother in law who is in the ICU and we weren't sure how long she had.
Well in a change in events she's starting to get slightly better. In her current situation every little bit counts and she is doing great compared to when we first arrived.
She is still in the ICU but she has been able to get off some of her medications, she has started eating and drinking again, she is more awake and able to talk and there is talk from the doctors that she may recover enough to get out of the hospital. She will need 24 hour care so she will never return to working or to her home but its better than what we were thinking. She still has cancer so it's still a matter of time but more time is better.
Her parents came out from CO to visit her Wednesday to Saturday and my hubby returned home with them leaving me and the boys out here to help my sister in law for another week or so. She needs to spend more time at the hospital making sure that her mom is getting what she needs but she also needs to find a few options for her mom to go if she does get out of the hospital. With me here she can head off and leave her youngest here to play with Monkey and then she doesn't have to rush back home to make sure she meets the bus for her oldest. It will be very helpful to have me around.
So the plan is for me to drive back by myself on Friday. I'm a little nervous because I haven't driven this far since I was 18 visiting a friend in Nebraska. Now I have to drive with two kids and hope that all goes well.
Please continue to pray for my mother in law and her family that is around her but also on Friday for safe travels for my boys and I as we make the 12 hour drive back to Denver.
