Thanksgiving Blessings to You!
We hope you are having a day surrounded by those you love.
We are so very grateful for YOU!
Our 'big' plan is to watch a cheesy movie together (with Asher too, of course). We're both exhausted. I haven't been able to relax at all since this happened. We're just now having a little time to talk about how this is affecting us.
We don't have much news. Mom's rash is MUCH better today and we hope this means it was the ACE inhibitor and not the Plavix. She's still extremely tired and gets fatigued easily. I'm still very, very scared and worried, but I also think we have three good 'theories' as to what is going on. It's just sorting out what's what. I think that either she is 1. dealing with some form of anemia, 2. struggling with adjusting to the medications, and/or 3. just plain exhausted from the entire experience. I also think we cannot minimize that she has not stopped being a caregiver for over 12 years and her body finally sent her a strong message. It wants some rest. And no, the cardiologist did not call today. :(
At this Thanksgiving we are grateful for many, many things. As difficult and awful as this experience is, the continued kindness of others reminds us that we can get through each day. We also know that we are blessed to be sharing this holiday together.
Now, go enjoy your turkey and the company of those you love!
Blessings,
Emily
