Update on Mi Mama

My mom was released from the hospital today. She was told she had a blood clot yesterday then told that she didn't today (the doctor had assumed without looking at the ultrasound). The Ear, Nose & Throat doctor saw her this morning and verified that she has TMJ (lockjaw) which was caused by an arthritic flair-up. Since there is basically nothing they can do but give her pain meds (which she already has plenty of at home), they sent her home. She is feeling much better, however. Thank you for your prayers. I know that she is feeling better because of the Lord's faithfulness to hear His prayerful people.

Aside: The lessons of the Lord are sweet, albeit bitter while in the midst. But I would rather be in the Valley of Trials with the Lord's presence than on the Mountain of Ease while feeling far from Him. His fellowship is sweeter by the day and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
