Thats all we were getting done is running her to Dr's. and the meds that they had her on was just crazy. Since she has been in the NH we have cut back to only what is nessasary, she wont be having any surgeries unless it is a life or death situation since that is how she ended up in the NH from a back surgery. She is on half the meds that she was on because one Dr would persribe something and then another would persribe something that would contradict what the other one was suppose to do.

Oh and as i sit here and write this we just admitted mom into the hospital this morning for phnemonia (how come that isnt spelled like it sounds). She is doing good they are doing breathing treatment & antibiotics. I accutally hope they keep her a couple of days cause she get's more one on one treatment there then if she is at the NH.

Yes, it is a BIG chore, just running to the doctors. I have to go to every single appointment, because Gary is hearing impaired and just doesn't hear well enough, even with hearing aids to understand what they are saying or what he's supposed to do.

PNEUMONIA!!! Hasn't she had the pneumonia shot!!!! Like you, I hope they keep her there a few days!
