40) Isn't it Ironic - 26th November

It is ironic that someone with terminal cancer and a prognosis of weeks to live should actually appear to get better!

Leigh-Ann is not defying the doctors and she is not going to get better but she has more energy, is more lucid and has better cognitive skills than she had a week ago.

She woke up this morning saying that she almost feels "normal" again.
Three generations checking out the Blog
A week ago we started to book Home Support to help us look after leigh-Ann and give us all a break. Today I cancelled Home Support "until further notice". It's not needed right now.

A week ago Leigh-Ann struggled to climb the stairs, was unsteady on her feet, needed many hours of sleep during the day and was sleeping for 12 hours each night. She barely ate anything, was disorientated and confused.

Yesterday, we spent the afternoon shopping in Chilliwack at the Mall and then went grocery shopping. Once we had dropped off all the food at the house we all went out to the pub for a drink and a meal. Okay, Leigh-Ann did not eat much and only drank OJ but she had been out for hours...

This is the 40th page in her blog and I would have predicted telling a much more negative review of events.
You are not supposed to look down there!
Why the change? Who really knows. It could be the change in drugs, the mass that was held in Nerja, or all the people around the world that are reading the blog and praying for her. 

The blog has now had over 13,000 visits!

There are people reading it in Canada, Spain, the UK, Germany, Norway, South Africa, Ireland, Guatemala, Belize, the USA and the Netherlands.

  9. As I was reading this and all the countries where people are following from, I read, 'South Africa.' My first thought was 'wow!' Than I realized, 'that's me!' Sometime I forget where life has taken me! Leigh Ann I have been following the blog and praying for you often. Reading the strength and courage you are choosing to stand in has been extremely humbling for me. I pray that you continue to have peace in your heart and find a sense of rest in your days. You are a precious gem! Hugs.
