vibes for Mom
« on: January 04, 2007, 08:54:05 PM »
Poor Mom's in the ER again.
Feels like her fall Xmas day was yesterday.

She has a temp and some nasty chest cough so I called 9-1-1 when I got home from work.
She felt too weak to walk to the car.
She's comfortable but I am sure they'll keep her overnight. No fun being 96.
She said, "I was afraid it might be dying time."

I'm heading back over there but thought I'd let y'all know.
Back later...

Love to all,
Hops

Oh, Hops,

Having spent more than my share of time in ER lately, I know what your night is going to be like.  Very long and hospital green. 

I will be thinking of you and your mom tonight when I wake up in the night.  I will pray for a deep and restful sleep for her and much, much peace for you.

Blessings,

CB

Well, it's been much less dramatic than her previous hospitalizations so far.
The x-ray showed no pneumonia, and she was resting comfortably.
We agreed I should come on home, go to work tomorrow and call the hosp. in the morning.
She wasn't agitated or afraid any more, so I felt okay leaving.
It's less than 10 minutes from the house, so I can zip back if needed.

Came home, ate a bunch of chocolate, and I'm just going to crash.

She has a temp but not terribly high, but as I expected they said given her age, she should at least stay the night. I took her a bunch of flowers I'd brought home a couple days ago, very pretty.

She's calm and wants to go to sleep and so do I.

All is well, one day at a time's my motto.
Thanks, guys, for your thoughtfulness.

It does feel so good to be able to share the ups and downs here.

love
Hops

Dearest Hops,

I am praying for you and your mom. My mom is very old and fragile too. She was such a powerful person and now the roles are reversed. When she is hurt and scared I feel so much for her. It is hard to work and be a caretaker too.

Much love to you kind Hops.

Hops,

I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom.

Your Mom is very lucky to have you as her caretaker.  Having been there myself, I can imagine the anguish you feel.

Please try to take care of yourself, get rest and eat well.

Sending you thoughts of strength and courage.  Praying for your Mom's recovery and comfort.

Love,
