Bittersweet

Today my family went to pay there respects to Mark. With all the emotions of the past few weeks, it was hard for them. We are all just so blessed to have known this wonderful man.

I wasn't able to go. Holly had a rough night with taking bottles. She really doesn't like them and made a bit of a stink. When I spoke with her Dr. this morning, she wanted to know when I was going to be there;) Holly wanted to nurse and cuddle.

I was able to help with her enema today. She had a considerable amount of air in her tummy. It is so uncomfortable to have air trapped in your belly and not be able to get it out. Although she stooled on her own, we still did the enema to relieve the gas pressure.

She is having some blood pressure issues. But, IMHO I think she is in pain. Maybe not a lot of pain but some at least. The biopsy and stitch cannot be painless. Often times, the day after any procedure is harder than the day of the procedure. I am praying that her blood pressure comes down.

We expect her to come home tomorrow, but that will depend on how comfortable I feel after doing her enema by myself.

Will keep you updated.

Michelle, I am sorry you had to miss Mark's funeral. If all of us had even half of the positive Christian influence on the world that he had, the world would be a much different place.

You Waldon family - hang in there! Your struggles with this trial are just temporary and are intended for your good (Romans 8:28). Our heavenly Father will uphold and encourage you! Love you all and are continuing to pray...

We missed you yesterday, but were very grateful to see Dean and the kids. We love you all.

Just a quick note to let you know we are still in this with you. My youngest daughter Valerie is here for a visit and got to see the pics of Hollyse for the first time. She agrees with me, "what a beautiful baby!". Hang in there and as always, our prayers are with you.
