I've heard that it's dangerous to be in places that don't get much snow because the people just don't know how to drive in it. I'm glad that you made it there and back without any incidents!!!

Glen's Mom was put in the hospital the other day. She was losing strength and just generally was getting worse than she had been. We have a small local hospital so she was taken there. She has a lot of fluid in her legs......well, when they put her in bed the fluid went into her abdomen and she was having shortness of breath and had lost enough strength that she couldn't get up to go to the bathroom anymore.

Glen's sister arrives and after a few days......and moves Glen's Mom to Wichita. Glen didn't know anything about it until after she'd been out there for several hours. The doctor had people set up to start dialysis when she got there but Brenda wouldn't allow them to start. I guess that she had the doctors out there pretty upset with her. She thought things needed to go a different way then they went. Anyway, Althea did have dialysis and afterwards wasn't doing very good but by the next day she was better.

Glen's family is a family of leaders......strong leaders........and Glen in his own right is too but instead of butting heads with them he is just letting them do what they want. It's pretty fustrating at times.......like finding out Althea was moved to another hospital without his knowledge but he's not making any waves. She's bad enough......strength-wise that I don't know if she'll be able to ever come back home........which is good because things just can't keep going the way they have been......she needs much more and better care than she's been getting.
