First Walk in a While

Getting Cleaned Up

Alyssa came by this morning and helped her Mom get cleaned up.
Pam and Alyssa (and Austin)
Beauty Treatment
Still can't brush her teeth.
Using a little dental sponge on a stick

Pam's mouth is so sore, she can't brush her teeth, so she is using a special dental sponge type thing on a stick.

Looking and Feeling Better
(the flowers are fake)
She looks good, doesn't she??








Had a few episodes of nausea and vomiting, but the sore mouth and throat are by far the worse symptoms right now.  She is having trouble eating anything that is hot, spicy, chewy, crunchy or tastes good. She had a little tapioca (argh!), some cold chicken noodle soup (double argh!), some canned peaches, a couple of nutrition drinks.

4 PM

Tables are turned... she has to wear a mask in the hallway
We were finally able to take a walk around again this afternoon. Notice that she is not using any oxygen! Big change from a few days ago when she couldn't even sit up.

She is really anxious for her parents, Mike and Sandra, Toby and Samantha's visit this evening.

    Hi Jerry,

    First, we want to thank you so much for your daily blog about Pam. You are a gifted writer and we so appreciate the update in regards to Pam's condition and her care. She is very lucky to have you right beside her!



    We are so happy that Pam is doing better and is up walking around. She continues to have that wonderful smile, and we know she has a strong and positive attitude. She is continually in our thoughts and prayers, and we want her to know that we are thinking of her every single day with our love.



    Blessings,

    Jan and Gary
