Ditto, Plus...

Last night and today seem to be a carbon copy of yesterday. Once again Susan experienced severe pain about 3 AM, took a vicodin, and by morning was better. Better enough, in fact, to have the granddaughters (and their parents) come by for a good visit, including a cup of egg drop soup at the local Chinese restaurant. It seems that she's had more nourishment today than yesterday. On the other hand she reports that, despite two doses of mineral oil a day, her digestive processes have slowed once again. The latter is consistent with another blockage, but that doesn't square with the lack of constant pain and nausea like the last time. We will appreciate your prayers for relief in this area, and for a full night's rest.
