DAYS GO BY…

Days drag on here.. you lose track of what day it really is. You know

night and day.. but not what day it really is. The routine goes on…

people coming and going and many names and faces. Keeping them

all straight is a real task. I have taken to taking a picture here and

there to the ones who are working with mom so that if I need to know

who did what at what day or time .. all I need to do it to look over the

pictures.

Mom has had quite a time with getting her blood drawn for any kind of

test. This young gal got her IV started faster than anyone so far. I told

her she deserved a medal for the effort and the skill. When the call goes out

everyone kinda shrugs their shoulders because they have all had their

turn at trying to get the job done with mom. She stepped right up!! 

I must say I have never seen such a dedicated staff so efficient and working

together. We had a mix up with the diet and food service and the gal

came all the way from the kitchen up here to explain things and apologize

for the problems. We surely did make the right decision to bring her here

when things decided to get bad with her condition.

We are hopeful that her stay here will end near the end of the week as she

seems to be improving with the many treatments that she is being given.

 

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!! 

 

LESSONS LEARNED..

This big old house sits way up on a hill. Where the white line

is at the bottom is the sidewalk near the street. I’d hate to heat or

cool that place!!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

You sure learn a lot of lessons being around the professionals

in the medical field every day. Double check all your facts and

then double check them again. So many doctors and techs and

helpers running in and out.. youhave a hard time keeping a name straight.

You learn to ask names and look at faces to put them all together

somehow and you learn who is good at their job and who really isn’t.

You learn everything is timed out and on a schedule and they pretty

much keep to them too. Things just run smoother that way.

We have been fortunate to have some very dedicated people

helping us try to get mom back home as soon as she can.

I love the trim on this house it almost looks like a doll house. Look at

the pointy roof. This town is loaded with ornate houses with neat

architecture. I love it. Click to see it better.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

 

We are seeing progress now slowly. Mom seems to be feeling better

and that is a good thing. She is with it enough to talk back to her

daytime soaps and cuss out the villians. I would say that is a real

achievement!  Keeps her mind off her own problems and onto some

fictional person’s life. I learned to watch her while she watches her shows

and I can tell a lot about how well she is doing from that. Having all this going on

here and she can still tell you who did what to who.. well that is a really good

sign.” Tomorrow is another day”… as Scarlett said,,so we will wait and see

what happens.

 

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!! 

 

UPDATING….

Here is the latest news…

glitter-graphics.com

It’s raining here. One of the only places in Michigan to get

rain today and we got it.Not bad though! Just glad it is not cold and snowy!!

Slow going with deer season starting today, the hunters won’t be too happy!

I live within the city limits but I heard 3 gunshots near here

around 8 AM so I know the hunters are out. Scary driving though,

so many fields here did not get harvested yet. The corn is high

and brown so it hides the critters.

 

 

Life here pretty much exists of traveling back and forth every

day to the hosptial. Mom underwent her first dialysis treatment

yesterday. They  gave her 2 hours instead of 4. They are trying

to help her kidney heal up some. I was hoping she wouldn’t have to go

that route but it became necessary. Trying to get her to eat and to

have a better outlook is hard when she feels so tough. Almost a week now

and she is used to the routines there but not the FOOD!  Is anyone??

I must add though that the diet here is pretty accomodating if a person

would just get it down them.  One time I wished that she was not

so picky at what she eats. YES..  I am taking some food from home and

bringing in some Ensure to see if she will drink it. At this point

anything is better than nothing!!  

 

Well Hope your day is wonderful there where you are.. I heard some

white stuff is covering the west some and hope it MELTS by the time

it gets this way!   THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
AND PRAYERS…

UPDATES

The good news is mom is feeling better. She is sitting up and

eating and loving the attention!! Not sure of the outcome

regarding her dismissal from this luxurious place, but she

is improving some.

 

Did you actually think I wouldn’t be taking pics of

what is going on here? LOL

I got this one on the way home the other night.

We have seen some wonderful sunsets the last

few days. The sun has been out and the temps pretty

cold in the mornings.

Very long days here sitting and waiting

and wondering about how she will recover. Takes a lot of patience

that is for sure..thank goodness for distractions like TV and internet.

Hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow and

thanks again for your constant support, concern and prayers.

LATEST UPDATE…

THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR HUGS AND PRAYERS FOR

MOM.  Her surgery was successful and they will be watching

for infections etc. She should be going home by the weekend

if all goes well. Having great friends in the spaces community

helps so much. You are all so special to us!!
