Yet another update

In an email from Aunt Denise today in RE to Grandma:



Hi,
One More Time!. . . .mom has beat the odds again! She does NOT have to have surgery, the tear in her colon has repaired itself! When she was in the hospital, a nurse was talking to us about the surgery and she mentioned sometimes, a fistula can repair itself. I turned to Mom, pointed to her and said "Work on that!" She responded "Oh I intend to." By the grace of God and your prayers, she did just that. Can you believe it?! Dr Bruno is baffled. She keeps telling Mom "You amaze me". She has chemo tomorrow 1 day late. They are leaving the evastin out of the cocktail because this won't let a wound heal, and of course, we want the colon to keep healing. Each day she gets stronger after the pneumonia, and now the chemo will knock her down a little this week.
But as you can see, she'll get back up. (To my neice Nikki. . .thank you so much. She really is enjoying her time with you. And I so appreciate the help. Love you.)
Love,
Dee Dee

These last two weeks have been so hard on my heart. Seeing someone you love so weak when it wasn't long ago they were so strong and full of life and on the go is just so hard. She IS getting stronger, but this chemo is going to knock that back a couple of steps. Please please please keep praying. It really is helping to know that God is in control and hears all of the love and support.
