Vigil

No warm cookies today. Just a tired family hoping for the best. Charlie's mom has taken a turn and was admitted to the hospital this week. While Charlie, his sister Jenice, and I take turns standing vigil at her bedside, Averie and Caris have taken up the reins of making sure things run smoothly on the homefront for the sake of "normalcy". The doctors don't hold out much hope since her weak system is already compromised by the chemo and radiation, but at least can keep her comfortable and cared for while she's struggling.

Charlie asks me to thank everyone for their prayers and their kind emails of support. As you all know, my gratitude for your love is unending.
