Donna should be moving to the cancer floor in the hospital sometime today. The Dr. said there is no longer any reason for her to be in ICU. They just don't have a bed for her on the floor right now. He also said that her mouth would heal 100%. The sores and soreness would be gone in a few days and her mouth will return to normal. This is good because she needs to eat!
Donna's sister will be watching the girls for the next couple of days. She also home schools her daughter, which is nice, so the girls will continue on with their studies as well, plus get some fun cousin time. This is just a temporary set-up, but one that will really help the girls and me to stabilize a little.
Donna's legs were swollen yesterday. They think this is fluid build up in the legs. She has some compression stockings on and they have given her some medication to reduce the swelling and cut down on her fluid intake through her IV.
Thank you to everyone who is supporting us and praying for us. We've received so many cards and well wishes, we can't thank everyone individually, but we wish we could. It would be a full-time job just to keep track of it all!
Many people have asked how they can help. Right now, the best way is to pray for her. This is not only good for her, but good for you too! I think the girls have a different perspective on things right now, but I have not had a good chance to talk with them one on one to determine how they are taking it all in. Emily, last night, came downstairs sad - because of seeing mom "all wired up" yesterday. I spent some time talking to her about how she has been very sick and that those things are going to help her get better. And she is getting better! She felt better, and I gave her a piggy-back ride back to bed.
I'll update later today with more news.

Scott, Donna, and girls,
You are in our prayers daily! We continue to call upon the Lord to place his healing, comforting arms around all of you. May you daily hear his gentle whisper that you are not walking this road alone. Your strength through all of this uplifts us; may our prayers uplift you! Blessings, Ann M-V and family
GOD IS GOOD and we praise him for the improvement in Donna's condition. We will, of course, continue to pray for healing and for comfort for Donna and for understanding and patience for you and the girls. We love all of you deeply.

2 Corinthians 12:9-11
9But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Hi Scott & Donna,
We have been praying for you and are so glad to know that Donna is doing better. Just assuring you of our love, support, & prayers. Wish we weren't so far away from you right now, but our arms are stretched in hug fashion!!! Love, Kurt and Elaine
