Journal entry by Susan Shisler — 9/19/2016
Aunt Donna is visiting from Arizona. She came on Friday...and is headed around the state of Minnesota now visiting the rest of the Abners. It was fun to have her there for the weekend. We enjoyed some delicious homemade goodies from Benson friends as well as many others. We are so grateful for the many offers to help.
Veda and Kale came Saturday morning for a few hours as they were in town for a wedding. It was fun to catch up with them and they loved the time with Grandma and Grandpa. Veda has a new hair color, we call it strawberry, it brought smiles to our faces to see her so proud of her work.
Charlie and Alice are always in and out and Alice almost always announces her arrival loud enough for ALL of the neighbors to hear, Mom loves that the most.
I was grateful to be there all weekend as well. We love to count our blessings over and over and over again.
Mom is feeling about the same. The steroids are really keeping her headaches away and her nausea at bay. God is giving her a wonderful reprieve from feeling crummy. We pray there is healing happening inside her body as well. We don't ever give up that hope and prayer. Mom is sparkling as always. We will have more labs done in about 2 weeks to see what is going on with the cancer, until then we pray for the miracle.
In the meantime we enjoy every moment, take time to be intentional in all we do and snuggle as much as possible. There is so much laughter happening. Thanks for all of the cards and mail. Feel free to keep those coming, mail is always a bright spot 9608 Falcons Way EP, MN 55347.
Ariana comes back this next weekend for a visit. Tommy and all of our boys the following. Just like Mom and Dad like it...a steady stream of grandchildren visiting...best medicine around.
I will leave you with this cute picture of Donna and Mom from yesterday on the front steps...
