HELLO!
Well, Hello strangers!
Here I am with days of catchup to do on here and no energy!
Thank you all so much for the prayers!
OK... Long story short...was with Mum at Nursing home Sat and could HEAR her lungs rattle and struggle. The nurses felt she was getting better, Martha in NY could hear it thru the phone and asked for Dr. Never came during my visit and we were very upset. 9PM Mart called in and told them to GET her to the ER...and they said a Dr had to approve it! Jeepers! She got to the ER at 10:30 I was at her house but it took forever to get taxi in Boston Sat night so I got there at midnight. X ray showed Pneumonia back and worse (DUH) she got all sorts of tests and we were amused by the ER at that hour...DRUNKS singing and yelling etc.. Mum got room at 3:30 am got her settled dealt with Docs etc..and took taxi back to her house at 5 am. TRIED to sleep...everyone called texted etc... Even a nurse, who worked for my dad... who carried me into the house as a newborn called...out of the BLUE to talk to Mum! WEIRD! Mum and I were talking about her at 3 am... because she used to take me to Easter...and Easter is coming! WEIRD! OK so I went back Sunday for the aftn and she had tons more tests and now needs a pureed diet(BLECH!) so she doesn't get food into lungs and MORE pneumonia since her throat is so weak now. She is on IV Antibiotics for Hosp/healthcare acquired Pneumonia. Strong stuff and tons of steroids since the Pneum. has made a flare up of her once mild COPD.
She is a very sick little lady... but strong willed, wants to get well. Her sense of humor and spirit are amazing!.
I came home last night and slept like a log and slept and rested today as ordered by Mart. I will rest tons this week to prepare for weekend in boston again. I pray it will not be sooner!!
Again, we are so Thankful for the Prayers and continue to pray for any of you in need as well! (John..get well soon and stop that cleaning! lol... you may have to start a used stuff store! lol)
Bob and I cracked up about the most interesting man and Bob tired to think of a comeback... but he couldn't top anyone here...but he laughed harder than I heardin a long time... one about waiting for the blue dawg to get to the tree...lol..
OK, gonna see wassup and if back in town and internet still messed up(couldn't get a secure connection) I'll email Shannon as long as she's around!
THANKS MANY TONS SHANNON! You are a DOLL!
HAPPY HUNTING to ALL!! Heather
