Little by Little

Here is a quick update on Mom before I translate a letter from Sinae that is very important for me to understand. I welcome anyone and everyone in helping me understand Korean. Any takers?:)

On the therapy side, Mom is doing well. They will probably be ready to release her by tomorrow (Friday). On the medical side, things are still unclear. Mom has been feeling nauseous and the wound care specialists (I'm not sure if they are classified as doctors or technicians or another title) said that they thought Mom's bowels weren't working since she hasn't had a bowel movement in a while and she isn't able to eat very much. So they told her to walk a lot and drink a lot of water. That seems to be helping, along with eating more fruit and being more selective of the other food she eats. She didn't didn't throw up today, unlike yesterday, so I think that is a plus.

My grandpa (Mom's dad) is worried that Mom isn't making progress sooner. But I think this is just a long process. I expect there to be a lot of ups and downs and we might as well stay positive because if we're negative that won't do us or Mom any good. I think I might be learning some of this from my relationship with Sinae. I think there is a difference between naive optimism where one is optimistic for the sake of optimism and optimism where one puts one's hope in something or someone. I'm not sure if I have this concept of faith down yet, but I still think it makes sense to trust God that God will work things out one or the other, though that way may not necessarily be the way I think God should do it. What do you think?

Have a nice day and thanks for stopping.:)
