Tough day for Naomi

Yesterday was a tough day for Naomi. She was complaining about having a hard time going to the bathroom. So, assuming it was a bladder infection, the doctors inserted a catheter. As it turned out, Naomi didn't have an infection, which is good, but to have dealt with the pain of the catheter! Poor baby! And then on top of that, while the nurse was cleaning her PICC line tube (a surgically implanted line that goes from her upper arm to her heart for taking blood samples and giving chemo drugs - see this PICC Line article) was accidentally pulled out about 5 cm because Naomi jerked her arm while laying on the table. Now she has to have another surgical procedure to reinsert the PICC Line. Ugh! We were going to try and take Nina and my mom to an area restaurant for Mother's Day, but now we don't know if we can. At least it wasn't a bladder infection, so Naomi doesn't have to worry about being confined to the hospital again.

In any case, she looks better lately. I spent Thursday afternoon with her and her normal color is back and she seems to have grown slightly (maybe that's my imagination! lol) And she says she feels better. She's such a little trooper...

Nina and Jermaine
Keep your eyes on GOD HE will you get through when the hard times come. I am praying for you guys as well as Naomi. GOD said, "HE will never leave us or foresake us." HE is always there even when you might seem you are in this by yourselves. YOU ARE NOT!
