The roller coaster ride

When we arrived in Wolf Point, I was sure it was the last time I would see my mother alive. Since then, I've said good-bye several times and she's still here - Praise the Lord! She seems to be getting stronger. I don't know how that's even possible since her organs are shutting down and the lung cancer has significantly increased in size even since we arrived. Mom's now talking about going home. She can't, of course, but it goes to show the strength of will and the power of prayer that she's still here.

We have been enjoying having family around and many friends come in daily to see Mom and to bring food. My goodness, we have been supplied with food non-stop! The hospital is more than accommodating, supplying us with unlimited coffee and breakfast trays filled with sweet rolls, donuts and cookies every day. Not so good for the waist line!!

Tomorrow, we're planning to do laundry. Rick has to leave in the morning to go back to Nevada. My cousin, Bev and niece Melissa left yesterday to go back to Wisconsin
