An update on my Mom...I'm in the U.S.

I'm writing this from N.C. I have returned home to the States when it didn't look like my Mom was making any kind of improvement. I had planned on returning to the States in mid-April to help Danielle and Brad finish up their wedding plans. Today, my Mom was supposed to have a feeding tube placed since her physician informed us that she probably would not live long without one. She had initially failed the swallowing test. My older sister, Wendy and my Dad had been swabbing her mouth on Sunday and noticed that she was making an attempt to swallow. They informed my mother's physician and he had her re-evaluated. Today, my mother has been upgraded to a pureed diet and the feeding tube procedure was cancelled. I honestly believe this is because of the prayers of so many people on her behalf! The nursing staff has requested that a family member be with her as much as possible, and so my Dad and brothers and sisters are taking turns feeding her and being with her. Them talking to her has helped her to improve to some degree. In physical therapy, she walked favoring one leg, but at least she walked! I haven't been able to make any plans to go to Syracuse, NY where my Mom is because my NC driver's license has expired while we have been serving in Costa Rica. Today, with Danielle as my chauffer (that's kind of humbling, having your kids drive you around) I renewed my license. I've been getting regular updates from my sister, Wendy, on my Mom's condition. I told her today that when my sister-in-law, Renee, was sick with leukemia we all kind of took turns waiting in the wings as each sibling took turns caring for her. That's the main reason I came home, to serve my family. I am waiting for her to let me know when I can come up and be a help to all of them by taking my turn. The waiting is hard, but I want to go at a time that will be a blessing to those who need rest. Please continue to pray for Dad and my sisters and brothers as they make decisions for my Mom and her continued care. Most of all, on behalf of my entire family, thank you SO MUCH to all of you who have prayed already and Thank You, Lord, for answering.
