Great day at the Love-Baumer house!!

I was waiting all day for time to set it's self aside so I could write an update..........but, funny how time waits for no man!

Good day tho!  Kathy had a rough night with a lot of pain and today looked tired to me, but she was up and making calls and trying to get on top of things!  She spends a decent amount of time being frustrated with her "temporary life"I so relate to how she feels...I honestly think it's a Capricorn thing! (Any Capricorn or anyone who's lived with a Capricorn will know what I mean:)!)  Capricorns are strong, hard working goats who posses a certain know how and sureness of will.  I'm grateful Kathy has this on her side and also completely aware(as a Capricorn myself) of what a struggle Kathy is going thru relinquishing control of her life!

Regardless of how scary I may find what she's insisting on doing, (getting out of her (very high)bed & transferring from her wheelchair to a toilet on her own) I try to encourage her independent streaks.  This may be because I relate to the iron will and may be because I feel like...She's gonna have a heck of a hard road to hoe, why hold her back from the struggle when it will only make her stronger!  And, I know it will!!!

Kathy spent most of the day on the phone;  she transferred to her wheel chair and came out o join me as I made Shepard's pie and spaghetti sauce.  We talked in the kitchen in between phone calls and if you blurred your vision you'd think it was "old times".  Kathy had so much love today.  In between medical, insurance and financial calls she talked to:  Cindi, Michelle Lopez, Danielle, Mona, Michelle Tramblie, Kristi & Nicole...She had texts from various other friends and around 4:00 the visitors started flowing in!

Mona
Katie
Jerome
Tabitha
Brooke(Who brought INSANE amounts of casseroles to freeze and serve when needed...AMAZING!)
Parish
(a neighbor who's name starts with an A & brought enchiladas and other goodies...so sweet!)
Kristi

With dinner in the oven, I left about 5:30 knowing she was in fantastic company and hands!  Kathy LOVES company!!  Please do NOT hesitate to visit! She is a people person in the extreme and I think the visiting distracts her from the pain and helps fast forward time a little.

Kathy is such a sweet trooper!!  I am in love with her as ever and am truly grateful for this time!  I know it may sound strange, but how often really do we get to demonstrate just how far we would go for someone we love!  Kathy went through SOOO much in her early life and I believe in life giving us balance!  The lessons and strength she will gain from this "speed-bump" will push her to an un-human realm.............I will be here to absorb and transfer my own lessons!  All things happen for a reason, right?  I heard that once and time made it true!

Love, light and blessings,
Jess
