Mom's condition is stable but getting weaker - probably slower than what doctors expected. Her heart and lung are still good. Her legs are not swollen much. She has some discomfort symptons. We just help her with the medicine provided. Mom's mind is still as clear as she can be. Some times we even felt her condition is improving - without having any treatment.

The team work from all the family members continues. Sister and brother have pretty much moved into the house to help mom as well as Yunting and I. We are taking turn to take care of mom or get three meals ready for each other. It is really helpful in moment like this. I am thankful for that.

Tomorrow is Hope's three-year-old birthday. Due to the current situation, we are not going to give her a birthday party this year. Actually she is having a sore throat and a little bit of fever recently, so she has been kind of grumpy these several days. It has been a little bit over two years since we brought her back from Taiwan. For what the family has been going through during this period of time, this little girl is a good reminder to me that we do have Hope in Him.
