When Ben came down for breakfast he asked, "Why did you set 6 plates at the table?" Amy hasn't been able to join us for 4 days because she has been so incapacitated by her condition, but this morning, she woke up alert, hungry and had some strength in her legs. "Mom's going to eat with us!" I said, eliciting a surprised smile from Ben. I helped her walk down the stairs (instead of carrying her), and she ate a whole waffle with blueberries and drank two cups of coffee (which didn't stop her from napping from 8 until noon). The roller-coaster ride continues, but we give thanks for these good days.
