Mama is back in the nursing home after 10 days in the hospital. I am being allowed only the usual window visits with her after having stayed with her days and nights, spoon-feeding her and taking care of her while she was in the hospital. Thank you for your continued prayers for her.

Mama is still in the hospital but did not get the feeding tube put in as there were problems. She is not doing well and is seeing relatives whom have passed...her Mother, Sister, my Daddy...She told me today that she saw Daddy (they were the lovebirds during their marriage when he was alive on earth before he was killed in a car wreck when I was little) and she said, "I saw your Daddy. ...Isn't he tall!?" to me. (Daddy was 6'2".) Thanks for your continued prayers for her. I am with her every day.
On the weightfront, I still weigh 155.

Mama is still in the hospital but not eating much, as usual, and has lost a LOT of weight recently...so tomorrow she is to have a feeding tube put in. Her Parkinson's Disease has progressed to where it is affecting her swallowing, making it easy to choke when she swallows food. So, she has simply been rejecting food and losing a lot of weight and has gotten very frail and weak. Thank you for your continued prayers for her. I've been with her every day at the hospital and have spent a couple nights in room with her, also. At least I get to hug her and it had been over a year since I had last hugged her, because of the pandemic and the nursing home rules. Guess it will be back to the window visits, talking through the glass on phones, when she is discharged back to the nursing home. Anyway, please pray all goes well with the feeding tube operation tomorrow for her and no problems. Thank you all.

Hello to you. Have some coffee with me?
The scale read 155 again this morning.
Sooo...I am telling myself that as long as I can hold on to 155 currently, it is okay, given the stress I am dealing with (Mama been under the weather and Daughter, too)...So, this is where I am right now. Rowing will have to happen another day.

Still here at home. Just not ready to start rowing to the islands yet. Got to be committed, of which I am not very much presently.

Sometimes it's just fine to maintain until you're truly 100% ready and committed to start losing again. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever! :-)

We had company (Family) from out of state, so I left the islands and came back home.
I have been reading your journals and see that you are all doing well.
So happy for you!

Hello to you.
Well, after rowing almost all day long yesterday, I finally landed here on Island 152 this morning.
Had about 1100 calories yesterday. Still doing IF.
Today's calories are about the same as yesterday. Being a 'good girl' currently and keeping my mind on rowing this canoe to Island 151 next. But if I don't make it to Island 151 tomorrow, as long as I am holding at 152 again, I will be happy.
.......................................
Hope you are having a blessed day in the Lord.
very proud of you.
I love Horn's advice!

I'm very sorry for your loss. At the same time, I KNOW that your mom is very happy to be with her husband and other family in heaven. She's at peace and that is what is most important <3 I am so sorry.
Thank you very much.
