Understatement

Liz, half making herself relax and half tuning the rest of us out.


To say she is amazing is an understatement...Liz floors us with her strength over and over again. You'd think that after a decade of procedures, surgeries, pokes, pain and suffering, a person would just throw in the towel as far as attitude...but not my Liz. She never once said she wasn't going to do the colonoscopy prep or not cooperate with us. She doesn't object to our requests and tries so hard to show her strength. After 4 attempts at starting the iv today, her eyes started to fill and she was holding back her tears. I actually became upset (inside) and told her to not hide her pain...to cry and let us know how much it hurt. Her response was a simple, whispered "this makes me frustrated." How much of an understatement is that?!

The procedures went well, but her recovery is a bit rough and she is now on Morphine. Poor baby. Hopefully she will be able to fall asleep and sleep-off the initial pain and nausea.

We will get biopsy results early next week.

Please, please know that if you read this blog, I thank you. If you pray, I am grateful and know that we are lifted by every prayer.
