Mother slept all afternoon, waking up around 7:00 p.m. A much needed sleep as apparently last night she didn't sleep well. However, that was due to her napping too much yesterday. So we shall see how she does tonight. For dinner, she ate five small slices of fresh papaya followed by a couple of small rack of lamb chops along with applesauce and a sip of red wine. She was really relishing the lamb chops. She later had a tiny piece of pepperoni and cheese pizza as a TV snack. She got up to wash her hair and we all watched television together ("Murder She Wrote" and "Perry Mason") . So far, no ill effects on her digestive tract.
She did request morphine drops while we were watching TV and right before bedtime a replacement of her morphine patch, so the pain is still there. However, due to regular taking of her nausea medication, she is experiencing little if any nausea which is a great relief for her. As mentioned in previous posts, she has an oncologist appointment tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. This will be a pivotal session. I will post an update as soon as I can tomorrow after her appointment.

Scott and I are thinking of you every day and know you are going to beat this. Thank heaven for Melissa and this blog...we appreciate it so much. I don't know, Anita (my southern belle)...have you tried eating a little bit of grits? It sometimes works for me! :)
I love you and miss you and my thoughts are constantly with you.
