Home days

I just realized that it has been 5 days since I last posted. We have been so busy with all the good and bad that our circumstances bring. The good things include wonderful visits from family and friends, fun movie time and family games when Elizabeth feels well, yummy food (homemade and brought to us) and SLEEP! On the other hand, it has been a lot of continuous challenges trying to keep on top of all Elizabeth’s discomfort...from nausea, to stomach pain, nerve pain, insomnia, and discouragement. The worst has been the nerve pain.  Her nerves seem to be “waking up” essentially in the order she lost them, but it’s been extremely painful and occurs unpredictably. We just got new pain meds today to help manage it and she usually has a good few hours each day though, which is a blessing. The physical therapist came this morning, and we were both so impressed with what Elizabeth was able to do! She has her leg braces now and she was able to slowly walk across the entire living room and kitchen with her leg braces stabilizing her ankles and using a walker. Yay!
