The clear liquids went down well and we had a full day of scrapbooking, watching movies and friends visiting. We went to bed last night at 8:30 or 9. All of this visiting is exhausting. Sometimes Grace feels like visiting and sometimes she doesn't. We love all of you but are hoping to get the word out that we need to get well before we have more visitors. The hospital is on code yellow with all of the sicknesses out right now. The medicine Grace is on lowers her immune system anyway, so we need to protect her. Thanks for understanding.
She's also gained 2lb, we learned yesterday. Praise God!
The next food step is what they call "formula" like Boost or Ensure, which we're also told doesn't taste that great. We are going to take this as the step that gets us closer to the reward.
Hebrews 11 talks about the great men of faith in the Bible that "walked with God". Today I noticed the places where it says they were looking ahead or looking forward to their reward. Sometimes to get through the difficult steps, we have to (hold our noses) and just get through this step in order to move forward to the next one. Just like Jesus did. (Hebrews 12:2)
So for the Olive Garden set before her, Grace is going to endure the Ensure.
Amen.
