I’m eating a little more each each day. I’m about 50% food and 50% liquid for my diet right now. I had 2 visits to the infusion center this past week for fluids and might go once more this next week if I need it.
I’m still on the same pain medicine, although I’m now able to drink through the day with out needing a lot of lidocaine. It’s hit or miss what will sting my throat or will be hard to swallow, so I am trying a lot of things.
I’m very tired and weak and in bed a lot. Still praying my energy will return as I eat more food.
My brain in still in a fog from the pain meds. I know I’m pretty depressed, but with the foggy brain, don’t really care that I’m depressed. It’s a strange a feeling. I’m not quite sure how to explain it.
We love adding more difficult things to our life when things are already so hard…..this weeks adventure has been the corona virus. Tom’s work has been primarily focused on that this past week. He’s getting information early on which is helpful for his team as they make decisions. With that information, he is not panicking (he never does), but the the level of concern he has for me is very high. He has asked that I stay home as much as possible, even asking that if a Dr. appointment is not absolutely necessary to do in person, to try and do it over the phone. I am at high risk and Washington seems to be a petri dish for it right now.
Tom’s mom flew up today and will be staying with us for a bit to hang out and help. We are excited to have her up here. 🙂
Sorry for any typos…
Love that God has eased your pain to eat a little more. I like Tom’ advice stay home. I have been doing the same as much as possible. Diabetic and 70 years old. I hear their warnings. Your immune system is so compromised now.
I love you my friend and I will continue to ask God for help for you.
Stay strong Jennifer.
It’s good to hear that you are able to eat more and I am praying for you to gain strength. Love and blessings as you forge forward!
As I pray I am thankful for the small steps and for Tom helping in all the many ways you need his help and love.
I am glad that you are able to eat more and that pain is easing up for you. I will be praying that energy soon returns and that God places a hedge if protection around you with the virus an added concern. You are loved!!!
Happy to hear you are eating a little more. Praying you will have more energy. So glad Susan did fly up there to help . God Bless
Good news and wise news! Glad you can eat and drink more. Praying pain meds will be eased up soon. Thankful for you and your amazing testimony of strength and God’s caring for you. Always praying.
I agree with Tom to stay home.
I am glad you are able to eat more food and 50 percent liquid. Thanking God for healing your mouth and throat so you can eat some food.
When I have meals sent do you want some soft food included in your meals.
I love you and continue to pray for you and your entire family.
Love Aunt Carol
So glad to hear good news regarding your improvements. So glad to know your pain has lessened and you’re able to eat more which is so important for you in so many ways.

Praying for Tom, you, the girls and everyone else that loves and cares for you. May you feel God’s presence and peace as you face each hour. Praying for God to continue giving you strength and courage as you continue your fight. HE IS YOUR ROCK!
I’m so glad that your beginning to feel some relief in your throat!
And sending Praise for your mother in law coming, as well!
I will focus my specific prayer on an increase in energy through your ability to eat again, and with that increase a lifting of spirits.
Pain meds, added anxiety with this darn Coronavirus and ….well…the usual dark are all tremendous battles to fight, but I’m sending you warrior strength and spirit, and a reminder of all the prayer being sent your way.
Your faith is strong, and so is God’s love for you.
Lifting you up right now in morning prayer!
Love you!
So very grateful that you are feeling a tiny bit better and able to get nutrient down. Such a blessing that Tom’s mom can come help. We will be praying for both of you to stay clear of the CV and that you will be able to decrease your pain meds with each new day. Love you!
