Hey Everyone,
Not too much to report today, there is still progress but H had a rough day. As her body adjusts to the new regime of drugs she is getting a lot of nausea and has started hallucinating--she had a full conversation with her mom... only her mom wasn't there--she is also having very vivid dreams. H keeps asking everyone "is this normal?" and the medical staff are ensuring her that it is, it is all part of the process and part of the good-day-bad-day roller coaster.
Otherwise, today she showed improvement when she did her lung exercises. One involves breathing into a device that pushes up a ball in a little tower, and today she was able to hold it up longer, signifying that her strength is improving.
We will continue updates on Monday. H's parents and I decided that since progress will likely be slow over the next few days, we'll give a more thorough update after the weekend.
Until then,
- Lindsay

Norma Thompson told her friend Gayle about this blog. Gayle told me. I shared it with 400 other people in Norval Online, a weekly email to friends of Norval United Church.
I've already heard from a number of people who are inspired by Hattie's story.
You've got a lot more people out there reading and praying for continued improvement.
The Spirit of God be with you. The Hebrew word for Spirit is also the word for breath. So... The Breath of God be with you!!
