This is another day Carmen was all smiles. This is after she got baptized and became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was a very special day.
This week Carmen started off feeling pretty good, but by the time Tuesday rolled around she was feeling lousy and only ate two bites of food. She was, however, given some money to spend at Michaels (thank you) and was so excited to go and get some things that she did not get the day before when I took her. She also wanted to buy something for her brothers. We were quite the sight trying to wheel her chair around and carry all of her purchases. This trip was very hard on her, and I thought that may be the last time she wants to go out. She informed me today, though, that she would like to go there again tomorrow and replace some stickers that I misplaced of hers. We'll see if she can make it. Wednesday was a lot like Tuesday and she only ate two bites again. I was worried, but Thursday she perked up and was able to eat and not throw up as much. She has trouble seeing now, so I read to her. She can still color, which she enjoys, and she can put stickers in a journal, which she also enjoys. Her pain gets a little worse everyday, but we are able to manage it so far ourselves. She has enjoyed all of your visits and gifts. Thank you so much. She does not like to talk usually, but she enjoys seeing all the people that love her, and she usually enjoys listening to us talk. We all have enjoyed your meals. Thank you for those. Everybody is doing so much for us. We are overwhelmed with love and appreciation for all of you. Thank you. Thank you again for your prayers.
