I talked to her again last night and her voice is 90% the old Bethie's. Thank You, God!

She is still weak but slowly regaining some strength. She is even going to attempt the end of her shopping today, which I told her I didn't think was a good idea. She may not get out of her driveway today tho, we got some more snow on top of our recent 10 inches and it is blowing like crazy out there.

She is no longer throwing up but is nauseated but probably from the strong antibiotic for the bacterial infection she has/had. No blood which probably means her esophagus is healed or healing.

She sees her doctor on the 29th to see what will be done about the hiatal hernia.

Her husband was putting up lights on the tree which has been in their living room for a couple weeks now waiting for her to get well. I didn't ask who puts on the decorations but hopefully her boys helped.

So, thanks for the prayers and well wishes for our friend who is one of my bestest friends. I know the notes in the hospital meant the world to her.

God Bless each and every one of you.
