UPDATE –
It's been a couple weeks since I posted an update here and I know you guys are still praying.
I want you all to know that your prayers are greatly appreciated!

Moms condition has kind of stabilize now and she's doing better. We were down there Mother's Day weekend and I made mom some French toast for breakfast on Saturday. She ate half a piece of French toast and was able to keep it down. Her stomach is doing much better lately. My wife, Alyson, cooked mom a Mother's Day dinner on Saturday, because we had to be home on Sunday. She cooked one of moms favorites, salmon. Mom ate a serving of salmon and a couple of things on the side. She really enjoyed a nice meal.

Her blood pressure seems to have stabilized and she's not passing out every time she tries to set up. Saturday afternoon she was able, with assistance, to get out to the sun porch and sat there and visit and watch the birds for a while. She really enjoyed that.
Alyson and I will be going back down there for a week around 1 June while my brother goes back to Arizona to put his house on the market.
We appreciate your prayers and I am convinced that the thousands of prayers that she receives has definitely had a positive affect on her health. Sometimes we don't realize how much we depend on other people and on the Lord until were in a situation like this.
Please keep the prayers coming and pray especially for grace and peace in the family as this is always a stressful time in any family.

Thanks again,
Dale

I thought I should update everyone on mom's condition. The hospice nurse says she is in the honeymoon phase. She has regained a good deal for strength and is able to get around with a walker and a bit of help from time to time. Some weeks she feels good enough to go to church and maybe even to the store. Going anywhere outside of the house takes a lot of strength out of her and leaves her tired for a couple of days but she is still plugging away and has a good attitude. It is a real blessing or her to be able to go outside and look at her garden. That is a huge passion of hers, that and watching the birds.

A lot of the grandkids been able to come visit this summer and that's hard on both mom and dad just due to the sheer number of highly energetic children but they absolutely LOVE it when their grandchildren visit!!

It's almost as if God has blessed us with a little more time with both mom and dad. Our family has truly been blessed by God and by all you folks and your prayers. Thank you and God bless you all.

Dale, I love it when God just smiles down on us, even when things all around us are storming and heartache isn't far away. He is even closer. God bless you and your family. ____Dave

I'm so glad to hear that she is having some good days. I'm sure all of you are enjoying them while they are still here.

Thoughts and prayers for your mom and the rest of your family, Dale.

Thanks for the update Dale, thank the good Lord she able to enjoy the grandchildren, birds and garden. In the later years the simple things that we take for granted when we are younger, can sure be precious. God bless you all.

I didn't realize that had been July since I last updated this topic. I certainly appreciate all the prayers you fellows have put in on the behalf of my mom and dad.

A lot has happened since I first posted this thread in April. We had a summer of Grace. The word "grace" in the Greek language means "gift." And this summer really was a gift. Mom had a reprieve in her leukemia and was able to get up and outside and visit with kids and grandkids that came to visit her. It was a real blessing. How much longer that will continue, if it will, is something I can't answer.

I talked to mom and dad Saturday and dad is really worried about mom. Mom says she's not as bad as he thinks, but from what I can gather she is not doing well either. The leukemia has thickened her blood so now her blood pressure is really low and she tends to get lightheaded and pass out if she's setting up to long. She told me, "Now I understand when they say heaven is only half a heartbeat away."
I'm going to go to go down and visit with them on Wednesday or Thursday. I hope to have a better understanding of what's going on at that time.

Our family has been greatly blessed to have had my mom with us and doing so well this summer. God blessed us and answered your prayers. Thanks again for your faithfulness; please continue to remember mom and dad in your prayers.

[Quick Steel]

Prayers will certainly continue Dale for your mom and family.

[glennbad]

I am happy that your summer with your mom was good. All too often, we take for granted what time we have left, but it sounds like you had some real quality family time going on, truly a blessing!

I will continue to pray for your mom and the rest of your family, Dale.

[doglegg]

Dale, I thank the Lord for the wonderful relationship you have with your Mom and what a wonderful testimony she is of God's grace. Hope your visit is fruitful and that our God will continue His sweet favor on your mom until she goes to be with Him. Our prayers are for your Dad too in this terrifically trying time. You are in our prayers daily.

[philco]

Dale I too am praying for your parents and you as well. Even with the blessings you have received, these can't be easy days to go through. May God bless all of you.
