An update on Mom's health

April 2nd, Sunday

Hi,
Happy Spring Forward everyone. Those of us living in America have had the pleasure of loosing one hour of sleep today. I woke up this morning and was almost proud of myself to have woken up at 7:00 but was dissapointed to find out that it was actually 8:00. We rushed to get ready and made it to the hospital in time to see mom at 9:00. Mom was awake and we did the traditional holding of hands, head massages, etc. Pratap kaka sent some good positive vibrations to mom through out the day through his meditation practices. Today was a long day for mom. They finally put the feeding tube in through the nose and started feeding her sometime this afternoon. She now is is getting some food into her system while giving her pancreas and liver a rest. Let's see how this works to help her problems with her pancreas and liver. Her spirits were still high which is always a good sign. I visited her before leaving to come back to the university and she was resting. Mom had a restful Sunday as she slept most of the day. Her nurse was able to get her to sit in the chair for only a half an hour today. She is continuing her breathing exercises and trying to keep her lungs clear of fluid. So all in all, today was a tiring/restful day for mom.

Lot to learn about aappropriate usage of words without hiding the situation, simultaneously being positive of the people around like nurses,friends and those who replies her thru emails.
She at this young age appears to have developed tremendous faith in our prayers and japas and obtaining strwength out of that.
God bless her and family to face this crisis situation with :-)"
