"My dear friends, if you ever feel limited or disadvantaged by the circumstances of your life, I want you to know this: 'The Lord loves you personally. He knows your circumstances, and the door to His blessings remains wide open to you no matter the challenges you face.'"

We received word today that James's mom is in the hospital. Cathi texted: Just a note to let you know that Mom is in the ER at Banner Desert. We don't have any information yet. 3:38 pm.
5:18 - Dr. Shields came in and they are keeping Mom overnight. She has fluid in her lung which is indicative of congestive heart failure. They want to get the fluid taken care of using medication. All of the rest of the tests they took came back good.

Rebecca, who is out of town in Missouri, wrote:
Dawn, what happened that you felt to take her in to the ER?
Dawn: Since last night she has been coughing and belching and felt like she was going to throw up. Since that was what she was dealing with years ago when we took her to the hospital, I decided I should take her there this morning and she said yes, she would go. I took her to the emergency center here near our house and they did tests, and then they called an ambulance to take her to the emergency room here at Banner Desert in Mesa.

Cathi spent the night with mom in the hospital. Here is what Cathi wrote: We are still waiting for a room for Mom. She is as feisty as ever. They are giving her antibiotic as a preventative measure. I am staying here tonight and for as many nights as needed. When we get in a regular room, I will let you know. We are playing the wait and wait some more game.

Cathi: Mom is resting well now that she is upstairs on the 3rd floor in Observation #4. 
Carmen: Wish I was there to help. 

Rebecca and Laura are out of town so it's Dawn, Cathi, and Terry there to care for Mom. I wish we were there. 

James and I went to Show Low again today. We mailed Cayli and Mason's birthday cards at the Show Low post office. We went back to Walmart where we picked up yet another prescription and where I got all of the ingredients to make chicken enchiladas. I am taking said enchiladas to Bunco on Thursday night. Now we only have to take food or a gift not both. We ended up spending over $138 because we bought more health supplements, some socks, and took our $40 cash for birthdays. 

All of that shopping made James hungry so after going through the drive-thru at the Show Low post office, he went through the drive-thru at Burger King and ordered a fish sandwich and an order of four mozzarella sticks. Both orders were meh. He said the fish sandwich couldn't compare to the one at Culver's and the mozzarella sticks were teeny tiny compared to the ones at Sonic. Never again. I think Burger King is a place of the past in our lives.

We stopped at the Vernon post office and there were three packages for me, two new dresses and a pair of white dress shoes. I think my Sunday wardrobe has been sufficiently replenished. I now have six new outfits which can be rotated over six weeks.

The weather was beautiful today and Tom decided to spend the night outside. We had sweet potatoes for dinner. James did some yardwork, raking up pine cones and needles and then mowing the lawn. I am still working on my lesson handouts. Hopefully I can finish them up tomorrow or early on Thursday.

We prayed for Mom this evening.
